Hi,
This question involves integrating custom work which I implemented on a Joomla site before installing Community Builder (CB) and Kunena forums.
For several months, I developed a set of custom features, as a portal accessible by member login, for a pre-existing Joomla site. Mostly, these portal features were related to searching for other members based on survey-derived information, so that they could then contact one another by email.
Later in the project, the requirements changed; the clients now wanted community building functions, including document sharing, private messaging, etc. Rather than develop it entirely from scratch, I found CB and Kunena, and have been working to implement them.
What I need to do is:
- integrate the two login features- my custom login and the CB/Kunena login;
- import members from my earlier portal into CB, so that existing members won't have to re-register.
Is this possible? And where would I look for documentation on how to go about this?
I don't mind folding my previous feature work into CB; but what login session variables (etc.) will I need to implement?
Thanks,
