Hallo dkeir!

It works flawless, man! And I have some more wishes, if you would be kind to participate with my conversation, which follows.

Why the hell are you a module developer? Why not work with the CORE team? If this would happen, then you would be able to influence soooo many concepts that you already have understood through the zentrackXoops module.

This module is a revolutionary one and can work with many CMS, if cleverly re-designed and would bring a breakthrough.

My sincere thanks to you for the efforts you have made to integrate one of the most precious module, apart from CBB permission templates weapon being developed by some master and creative genius (Quiz > say who?) hanging around (I pray he does better) in the CORE of Xoops.

My request: Please keep this module in tune with 2.4! I will hold my breath until then!!!

BTW, the earlier problem was in the scripts of XOOPS locally and had nothing to do with the server-side:

Hi Deepy,

I am extremely pleased that you like the module and was able to resolve your install issues from before.

Thank you for your very positive feedback! I will definitely aim to stay in tune with future XOOPS development.

However, full credit for such a well designed and developed system must go to Kato and the team at Zentrack.net. Zentrack is by far the best Helpdesk system I have come across. For my part I merely extend their efforts and make it work as a XOOPS Module, and therefore(hopefully) increasing the user base of a great piece of software.

Cheers
dkeir

Hallo dkeir!

When I went to add new user, I saw a possibility of it generating a 2.6 kilometer long dropdown (35.000 users) for my production site I may want to use it for!

If there is a possibility to search users in a different way, say for instance by groups, it would be nice. So in the pop-up like it is for the "Find user" function, it would be better to have in the popus ba groups...

Moreover I have many suggestions. I am cocksure that you can bring this module to a revolutionary status as you did sucessfully plugged this lovely piece of Art into Function.

A small edition in regards to mapping tables used by other CMS would do the trick, since it is already in there.

Moreover an addition of father_id and child_id to each *_id table would be really fabulous and shall update this masterpiece work of your to Star position!

Don`t you think so!!!

Great idea! I will look at including that improvement in the next release.

Huh? What other CMS?? Surely XOOPS is it!!

Don't fully understand this one. Can you please clarify?

You might also want to consider using the module forums on Sourceforge as I can keep track of that much easier.

Looking forward to it! At the moment, this 2.6 kilometer long dropdown is also in there and bugs me eachtime everywhere.

Imagine a Scenario: The programers decided that the XOOPS should become unusable one day when the number of users increases. Everywhere the users listing is the best way of doing it. Now have a look in the entire XOOPS installation and see what would happen if one had 100.000 Users database. What would happen to the Group permission shift left to right... etc...

You can take care in your module, isnt`nt? Core developers are living somewhere in their Submarine undere the Xoopshere and have scarcely seen sunshine due development-maniac syndrom of qualitative work.

My feature request is here:

One more feature request...

Your work is the FIRST to make many CMS converge INTO XOOPS, beleive me. It only lacks multi-database connection. XOOPS can give then central authentication and then update the user_db of Joomla by database mapping through your module! Joomla stay under XOOPS root, i.e. Joomla in a sub-directory of Xoops.

The scripts are able to map fields from tables. That means that the fields could be mapped to any other CMS having the same $DB_PREFIX. So.

This means that I can have Xoops, Joomla, Midgard running in the same database, mapp the fields of users by "Before" and After" triggers and get them updated into other user tables. Does this make sense?
Quote:

Don't fully understand this one. Can you please clarify?

You ofcourse wounld`nt understand as I was half dreaming of its potential use and half meditation on its impact on the entire XOOPS community. Uh! well... For instance you have:

dkeir_zentrack_types >> fieldset >>
type_id name priority active

So I convert to a global multi-category module function as follows:

type_id name sub_id priority active >> For tickets AND

father_id category_name child_id description details

will give a category presentation and mapping to the database. Then I can mapp it to any field and any table! So, I have a concept of Site-wide Global category configuration by re-using the sub-routines available.

Thereafter one can make for instance >> Alphebitical, geographical, industrial, subject categories... The script could load

load_sub_category {
if father_id == 21 for e.g.
>> load child_id = xx;
}

Not a good suggestion as I am the only one babbling out there and no one sees my feature request:

Hallo dkeir!

Some more technical comments on the module and the discussion:

Edit the Behaviors >> External CMS Pluggin
>>> Behavior Name >> loggin
>>>>>> Match Type >> Data Group >> Joomla_User_Table
>>>>>> Field to change >> To_Update_Login = 1;

Data Groups >> External CMS User/Session tables
> table
>>> xoops_users
>>>>>> Behavior Name >> update user_account_modification
>>>>>> joomla_user_table >> update user_account_modification

All one needs is to have classes in the includes. The development ist there! But this would work if and only if you name the module as Xoopstrack (for a single external CMS tracking) or even Xooptracks (for multiple CMS tracking)!
