JForum integration

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

I would like to ask about JForum integration with other web applications.

the business i am working on requires me to remotely create forums, and forum groups as a response to some events that happens in my application flow, so my application needs to have access to the JForum services which may be deployed on a different server, so what is the recommended and most clean approach should i consider to do such a job ?


Thank you

JForum2 does not have a public API, so we usually instruct to send HTTP calls to the desired actions (for example, if you want to create a new forum, send an http call to the forum action of the admin module, much like if you were browsing it and doing the steps manually).

Rafael Steil, tell me please, where can I get the documentation about the HTTP call API for the actions?

I need the following function:
- create new forum user
- auto login the user

Thanks!

Hi,

Here is the HTTP call for logging in a user:

http://localhost:8080/jforum/jforum.page?module=user&action=validateLogin&username=Admin&password=admin

I am still working on the call for creating new users, will post it here when I am done.

Here is the HTTP call for creating a user:

http://localhost:8080/jforum/jforum.page?module=user&action=insertSave&username=test&email=[e-mail]&password=test&password_confirm=test

Just a note:
The terms and conditions will not be displayed for the user to accept/decline, so you might want to display the terms and conditions before making the call.

If you want to integrate via a java back-end:

String jForumURL = "http://localhost:8080/jforum/jforum.page?";
String data = "module=user&action=insertSave&username="+user.getDisplayName()+"&email="+user.getEmail()+"&password="+password+"&password_confirm="+user.getPassword();
URL url = new URL(jForumURL);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);

OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
writer.write(data);
writer.flush();

// Get the response
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String line;

while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
//Check if it was successful or not
}

writer.close();
reader.close();
