  • Supercharge your Joomla website

    Do you want to expand your Joomla website with another software, but don't want your users to register twice?

     

    JFusion will take care of user creation, synchronisation, usergroup management, visual integration and dual login across multiple softwares. You select a master software for all user management and JFusion automatically updates the "slave" softwares.

  • Great Performance:

    JFusion is extremely efficient with server resources, it is actually impossible to distinguish benchmark results from the Joomla default installation and a setup that runs JFusion with direct integration.

     The JFusion framework is 60 kb and about 5-20kb is loaded for each enabled JFusion plugin. The amount of SQL queries is increased by 6 for the average setup. Joomla by default loads 30+ queries and 6 Mb of code.JFusion is used on large sites with excellent results and no performance loss.

  • Configuration Magic:

    Save yourself the hassle of looking up your database settings. Our wizard can configure your JFusion plugin automatically.

     

    We know how much time and hard work it takes to find all the correct configuration details for your software. So we decided that we'd do it all for you. The Wizard pulls the necessary configuration details out of thin air (or rather, your config file) so you need not worry about finding them yourself.

  • One Login For Them All.

    Dual login saves your users time by logging them into Joomla and any integrated softwares.


    To really give the feeling of complete integration, JFusion will create login sessions for all your softwares. Dual login allows users to seamlessly login to all of your enabled softwares with one username, one password and one click.

  • Easy visual integration

    With three different visual integration modes, it is easy to seamlessly integrate the looks of your sites


    JFusion's Administrative Interface has been refined through a process of Trial and Error meaning your experience is as friendly as possible. The easy-to-use design allows anyone to get started with JFusion without hassle.

  • AJAX User Sync Gives Your Freedom Back.

    JFusion includes a powerful AJAX based User Sync tool to help you manage users with ease.

     

    With periodical progress updates, no timeouts and an easy to use interface, JFusion makes handling of your user accounts across multiple software's simple. Synchronise all your user accounts with a single click

  • Free Support

    Our forums are an excellent place to look for information.

    Support is given on our support platform.


    Please make sure that you read the JFusion Documentation and FAQs, before requesting Support from the ticket system. Please remember that this is free software and that eveyone here is a volunteer.

Joomla 2.5

A last minute change in the Joomla 2.5 package, results in a fatal error with JFusion. This is due to JVersion now being defined in two separate locations causing an error :Fatal error:Cannot redeclare class JVersion

The solution for now is to open the file /includes/version.php and rename the following line:

final class JVersion

to

final class JVersion2

We are working with the Joomla bug squad on a permanent fix in our code and we will also release a new JFusion version soon packed with new features.

 

JFusion 1.6 stable released!

The JFusion development team is proud to announce that we just released JFusion 1.6 stable. This version runs under Joomla 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7. Since the release of 1.6 RC1 the team has committed more than 200 bug fixes and updates.

JFusion is a complex project. It includes support for 17 integrations and many more are available outside our code base. We have now created more than 80.000  lines of code using 6 different languages. We needed 18 person-years for that representing a value of a little more than 1 million dollars.

All of that in our free time!

JFusion 1.5 support

JFusion 1.6 runs on Joomla 1.5 so effective immediately we drop our support for our JFusion 1.5 version. You should upgrade to or install JFusion 1.6 if you want support from us. Speaking about support, we are moving towards a ticket system to keep better track of your requests for support. The forum will become a community forum where people can help each other out. This way we can concentrate on the more difficult support questions. Kayako has supplied us with a free license for their helpdesk system Fusion, one of the best helpdesk systems available. We will keep you informed on how we migrate to this new helpdesk system. It has been integrated with our main site using JFusion 1.6 of course.

Integration support and new deveLopments

We get many requests to integrate some software. If you have read up to here you now have a pretty good feeling on how busy we are in our spare time. You can always request support for a new integration but keep in mind that we have some simple rules:

  1. The software has to be free open source if we are going to release a free open source support plugin for JFusion. If you need something else contact us for a quote. Note that development time can go up well over 40 hours depending on the complexity of the software to be supported.
  2. Our priority #1 lies with our families, our education / paid work comes next.
  3. Our priority #2 is to get to code as bug free as possible. We won't get it bug free. Nobody can.
  4. New features and new plugins come after that
  5. As this is all in our free time, we need to have fun doing this. Don't spoil that (you all know what I mean).

Documentation

Our documentation becomes a bit out-dated. Instead of updating all those configuration items we have decided to put them into the code. So when you need to configure a plugin, just hover over the label and you get the information that has been in our wiki before this release. To help you out we have structured the settings into comprehensible parts under seperate tabs

DONATIONS

Maybe you never thought of it, but this website costs money to run and to maintain. We use your donations for that.

Ah yes, the change report for this version

We didn't make up one. It would take too much time from us. However, we have documented the changes here in our SVN.

 As always, have fun using JFusion. A day without a smile is a day lost.

Reviews

  • Star10Star10Star10Star10Star10 - grvulture

    We used jFusion to integrate our phpBB users within the Joomla authentication system. We were already using the mehdi bridge, but the way it wanted to integrate the users was not fitting to us, because mehdi requires that all users must create a new password after integration.

    So, I thought, let's give jFusion a try. It was a wise decision! JFusion's integration is amazing! You just have to follow instructions in the documentation (although a bit outdated), understand the difference between master and slave plugins, and you're set! Just be sure you know what you're doing.

    Now we have Joomla as a layer where the mehdi bridge lays the phpBB display, and JFusion handles user-authentication. Great! As a token of gratitude we have donated to help jFusion's further development. It is a great product and a lot of hard work has been put into it. Thank you again jFusion!

    I would have to say, I have tried Joomdle as well and in comparison JFusion beats it hands down. This bridge is excellent if you need to bridge a number of different components or programs into your Joomla install, my only complaint is that in bridging Moodle, sometimes the Moodle side over rides Joomla and ends up being full screened eliminating the Joomla side all together.

    A minor issue to deal with, I am sure it is just in need of some tweaking and is nothing big, but honestly, this is the way to go.

    I develop professional websites for my clients and use Joomla in every instance as well as JFusion since nothing can compare...as of yet.

    Hey, i would just like to say this is one of the best script i found. Great support as well.

    I know a number of paid scripts that do not even come close to what jfusion does. Excellent work!

    Also, just want to say thanks to all the developers.
