JFusion 1.8 stable released!

New version Released.

We are now "live" on the github

We hope that you enjoy the new release, and have a few problems with it a posible.

  • The new universal plugin and the features that comes with it i will try and documentate as best as i can (there will be no real generic method to configure it, and it may also require further changes to work with more software)
  • The new webview propearly also require lot more work. but feel free to test it out should you be in need of it (i can integrate other software frameless in to joomla (no userintegration), intended for simple applications and forms and such), at this point in time it is more esperimental than a usefull feature
  • As a side effect of the webview/universal plugin all plugins now use the same "engine" to have frameless support. Take note that the it has a lower preformance than the "native" frameless. It may also not work as good as it should since the page parse is generic in nature. So take care and to a lot of testing when using frameless with plugins that do not have "Native" support.
  • New option added on the plugin display page, where you can now click and see what features are supported by a given plugin (this feature is also limited tested and should at this time be taken with a grain of salt), This is also where you can see if the plugin is using NATIVE or CURL for frameless integration.
Last I would like to say that there have been a lot of changes to this version, so if you are upgrading you are required to go throw all plugins, and doubble check that all the settings are correct. including usergroup configurations

I will be updating the documentation for the new features as fast as i can.

-Thanks

    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 You just have to follow instructions in the documentation (although a bit outdated), understand the difference between master and slave plugins, and you're set!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.
