New component for Synchronizing users on many sitesElearningforce DK is very proud to announce the release of a new fantastic component for Joomla and Mambo. The component allows registered users and upcoming new registered users to be synchronized from one site to all other listed subsites done automatically.

There are really many ways to handle this by choosing which sites to synchronize. The synchronization can be done ON ALL THE SERVERS YOU HAVE ACCESS TO!!

Read through the tutorials here

This is the first new component in a load of new upcoming components!!!! Get more info at www.elearningforce.dk

For example you have installed the component at the Main Site, where the user makes a new account or there are some existing registered users. In the component you list which other sites to have the user being registered on. After you have synchronized the users manually once, you dont need to do this again. New users are handled by auto - also if they change user info.
BUT:
It could also be the other way around: You have a subsite with registered users or new users are registered and you want them to be registered on the Main Site. 

Example workflow

In Joomla (the Main Site) you install the component called SynchronizeUsers via Installers – Components
 
You go to Components – SynchronizeUsers – Set source site:
Here you see a page where you must enter the info for the source site.

You go to Components – SynchronizeUsers – List Subsites:
Here you see a page ready to list the added subsites to have synchronized – now it is empty.

  • Click the button Add
  • Write the Name, URL to the subsite database, the database name+db-user+password
  • Click the button Add
  • And so on – as many times as you want!!!

When all the wanted subsites are listed go to Components – SynchronizeUsers – Synchronize.
Here you see a page with all the subsites listed. There is a check box at the beginning of each listed subsite – if you check this, the subsite is included in the operation to come.

When the wanted subsites are checked you press the button Synchronize and the users from the Main Site are merged/written in the selected subsites database. In this way excsting users in the Main site database are handled (this is only needed if the component is installed after having users being registered. If it is a new Joomla install without any users this sync is not needed!).

If a user or an e-mail already exists the user is not written to the database but is shown on a error list after the operation.Now all the users from the Main Site are in the database for the selected subsites .

SO: from now the synchronizing is done automatically FOR THE LISTED SUBSITES when a user register on the Main site.
