I'm trying to create an auto login for Umbraco cms.
Meaning, I have a website which wraps the cms, and i want users to be able to use it,
Without entering their login details when entering the umbraco cms.
I want to be able to this without sending back the umbraco auth cookie to the user.
Is there anyway I can achieve this?
Thanks.
Logically if you create your own maintenance pages and then use Umbraco's Content Servcie you could maintain an Umbraco website from an alternative maintenance system without ever bothering with the Umbraco pipeline. So you can remove login or the use of cookies as you see fit. You could use something like Microsoft Dynamic Data to help build the maintenance engine.
If you want to use the Umbraco back-office I believe you are committed to using the Umbraco workflow, which includes login & cookies.

Is it possible to use a wordpress website similarly as php or asp.net websites to access jason webservice? If It is possible is there any limitations? Which is better to use knowing that I need to use it to send and receive json objects to and from the db server, and will need it to display events, news, items, buying and booking. Note that I am using the same webservice on a mobile application. Thankyou in advance
Is it possible to use a WordPress website similarly as PHP or ASP.net websites to access JSON webservice?
Yes. WordPress is built with PHP, and PHP provides the necessary tools you need to access a JSON webservice, and convert these into PHP Objects.
Are there any limitations?
No.
Which is better to use? (WordPress vs ASP.net)
WordPress is a content management system, where as ASP.net is a framework. WordPress will, without modifications, be efficient at managing content such as events, news and items. ASP.net will not provide these things for you out of the box.
I know this is a hardcore programmer's site and I am more of a theorist/researcher, so bear with me with my question and my terminologies. I would like to pick your brains on this matter.
We have an existing website developed using Moodle. The website is technically a Learning Management System that grades users after each course. Now we want to make it more interactive by adding a game element to it. We will develop a tab that will redirect the users to Joomla website (which will look exactly like the moodle one) but they wont know they are on a different platform. This tab will display the users profile including his grade or at least the numerical value of his "Grades" which will be labeled as "Points". I know the numerical value of the user's Grades are stored somewhere in Moodle but is it possible for that value to be a reference of the User's points in the Joomla platform?
You will probably need to synchronise the logins between Moodle and Joomla. A "single sign on". Have a look at these integrations for Joomla.
But I would personally develop the game as a local plugin in Moodle rather than using Joomla: Local plugins - MoodleDocs.
You can share same DB for Moodle and Joomla.
But you have to keep in mind while your user details are stored in Moodles at that time you have to submit those info to the Joomla user table too.
Then you can achieve your goal. For setting up the Joomla user manually you can refer this link
Hope it make sense..
you can share the moodle website with joomla that possibly submit those user table which is acquired from moodle
Yes it is possible but make sure that user detail must be synchronized between both system tables(which has user information).
I am wondering if there is any user back-end manager in Joomla.
I have developed a website and the homepage need to be updated time to time. What my client want is to update it by himself. But I have used a little more HTML tags and he doesn't know about HTML. So is there by chance a non professional user interface so that he can update homepage without knowing the HTML. Or any alternative if possible.
Your client can use the Joomla back-end, depending on the version here is some tutorials :
Joomla 2.5
Joomla 3
I want to make a website for my Android social networking app and need some assistance with a basic concept regarding user profile pages. So right now I have a native Android app where users have their own profile page displaying their profile stats, e.g. followers etc. and I would like to do something similar in HTML. My question is how can I design a generic profile.html page that displays the current user's username/stats and that can be used for different users? For example, see how Facebook are using the same profile page for each user but they replace the name/bio/stats fields with the data for the current user, how is that done - at the server side (by replacing the appropriate fields with the data for the current user), or at the client side (by loading them with a separate script after the page has loaded)?
Also, I am using a Tomcat servlet to deal with the requests if anyone is interested.
Thanks for any assistance and sorry if the question is silly :)
You would have to use PHP. Think of webpages as a mathmatical equation where HTML is 3+4=12 but PHP is 3+X=12. HTML is already defined, you can't change it. Where PHP you can code the entire page but get the bio or username from a database.
But you should be warned that this is no simple task, you would have to create a large mySQL database, possibly more to handle logging in and out and use the PHP to define what you are calling for form the mySQL database.
It is possible, but not in a day.
I am trying to find a way for a user to come to my site and fill in a form and when they submit the form a new webpage is made. I want to make it create a new webpage in an admin area so I can view what they have submitted without having to troll my databases. I am assuming this is possible because the concept is hardly new, but hours of scanning google has left me empty handed on any remotely close tutorial or anything of that nature. Perhaps I simply do not know how to word it, I am very new at forms but I am assuming this has something to do with the form action. Are there tutorials for this that someone can link me to or can someone give me a quick explanation? I can figure out the work for myself, I just need a point in the right direction. Thank you.
You're going to need to learn about 1) persistant storage (a database), 2) a server side programming language (HTML is purely for creating the structure of a web page), and ... I dunno, a lot more. I would suggest you actually look at a CMS (content management system) and see if that gets you where you want to go.
Databases don't interact with HTML in that way without some sort of application sitting between the site and the database. It doesn't have to be a PHP application, but something is going to have to store and get data from the db, and something is going to have to dynamically create these pages you want. And that's going to be some sort of programming language -- or a content management system like Drupal.
(Also, don't forget about security, support, etc. You write the app, you have to support it. =)
