Multiple App Synch?

[JoeP]

If at all possible I'd like at least 3 apps to share the same user data and status. The apps I'm working with currently are Joomla 1.5, SMF 1.1.4, and OpenRealty 2.4.3.
With the upcoming release of jfusion will this be relatively straightforward if i'm willing and able to get into the code?
I want to achieve this with the same sensitivity as you have demonstrated toward license agreement conflicts and support for future app upgrades.
Thanks for the great work!

Hi Joe,

The next version is a step closer to multiple integrations. Rather than only storing a single configuration in the component param field, every integration can now have its own configuration stored. This is implemented by giving each integration its own row in the jos_jfusion table.

I will create a small tutorial on how to create a new JFusion integration with the next release. You will then be able to write plugin for openreality.

JFusion 1.0.2 will not be able to do multiple integrations just yet, but it prepares the framework. Cheers, Marius

You, sir, are awesome!
I'm just getting started with this project. Is there anything you would recommend I do with any of the apps I want to integrate in preparation for your magic? Would it help or is it necessary for me to have similar or identical user fields in each app (if possible)?
Thanks again,
joe

There is no need to change anything in your other apps. All software specific actions are handled in the JFusion extension. The advantage of this is that we do not breach any licenses and that it is easy to apply software updates without breaking integrations (as no core files were hacked).
