[SOLVED] Register from a third party software ?

hello

I wondering if is possible to register new users using a third party software because I need to bridge this software (who have his own users management system) with Joomla. I would like disallow users of my Joomla site to publicly register trough normal CB registration form but to allow some specific users of the third party software to do. I suppose and hope this can be done using your API ?

In fact actually developers of this software allow already to integrate/bridge their stuff (a calendar software) inside Joomla, but users creation process must be done from Joomla. Then under some conditions (those conditions are the problem for me), users newly created can be auto-created inside the third party software. My goal would be to do the opposite, that mean create users from the third party software and then create the same users account inside CB/Joomla.

Then for keep sync all data, I imagine is possible to use Auto-Action for update users data (when they make change on their profile) from Joomla to Software but this require to use the API provided by developers of third party software. I already asked to them and this is possible to do with some custom development on their side... Now I need to know how to sync data from Software to Joomla/CB.

Any clue please ? Thank

It's possible to register a user through CB API, yes; please see the below tutorial on how to do so.

The software would need to include and prepare Joomla then include and prepare CB then use CB API to register the user or prepare an existing user object and simply update it, which can be done with the below API.

From CB to your software synchronization is possible with CB Auto Actions. This could be a Request action, Code action, or Query action as needed after registration/profile update/login/etc..

Great news :woohoo:

Thank for all infos... I will see with software developers how to handle the case.

cheers

Please a last thing because I have a doubt:

Using API like explained can be done also if the software is not hosted on the same server than my Joomla ?? Because this will be the case for my project... If yes what about security or other possible problem ?

thank

Nope, for that you'd need to implement a RESTful API to Joomla so you can send a URL to register a user. I believe Joomla calls these RPC plugins or something of the sort. JED may have something like this already development, but chances are very high that you'll need to develop it your self.

Ok thank for infos...

Finally I don't know if really need to create user from my third party software. However what I would more need is to update some CB user field when a specific event occur in the third party software.

My goal would be to maintain equal a value inside a specific field present in both CB and third party software. That mean when the field is updated in one site, the change must be done also on the other site. From CB to Software this is possible using Auto-Action. But from Software to CB ? Here also I need to use RPC ?

If yes I found about that this article .

It seem with J 2.5 no more plugin is needed...but I'm not a coder so for what I understand is possible to create some additional CB controller files for allow interaction with CB ?

Any clue ?
