Replace Registration?

[corster]

With the CiviCRM Joomla Authentication Plugin we can correctly manage 99% of how users register/join, renew, expire, etc.  However, we see there is a huge security hole by not replacing or deactivating the stock Joomla Registration/Create Account system.  I would like to simply put in a redirect, but can't find where that would be placed.  If someone could point me in the right direction, i would really appreciate it.  In addition, if this could become part of the Auth Plugin, that would be fantastic!


Thanks,

try the first plugin as part of this package:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/civicrm/10146

or this component, which replaces the native com_user:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/Joomla+User+Registration+Restriction

the latter is not 1.6+ compatible. i suspect the plugin will work in 1.6, though i haven't tested

there's about 4-5 of us in the community that have built these various extensions for extending integration with J and C. unfortunately, the extensions are scattered about a bit, and in various stages of compatibility with the various versions of J and C. we'll try to get some more of these updated and organized a bit better over coming months.

Thanks for the info.  I believe i had talked with Elin previously about updates to support 1.6/1.7.

I installed the Registration Plugin:  http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/jcivicrm/frs/
...but like all 1.5 plugins/modules, there are no parameters visible to select/modify in 1.6/1.7.

I look forward to the upgraded versions.  Thank you all for your outstanding work.

any news on this?
I tried the registration plugin for 1.6 but couldn't get to work.
I am using joomla 2.5.2 and civicrm 4.0.3

thank you

Is there a version of this that works with Joomla 3.x and civiCRM 4.3.X?

Hi Fred

As this is a Joomla plugin it is not affected by CiviCRM version changes.

Most 2.5 Joomla plugins should be compatible with Joomla 3 http://docs.joomla.org/Will_my_Joomla!_2.5_extensions_work_with_Joomla!_3.x%3F

Thanks for the quick response. I'll give it a try.

Okay. I downloaded and have tried to install the plg_sstem_civiregistration_v2.5 extension without success. When I try to install using the .zip file I get a 'JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file' warning. When I unzip the file and try to install from directory, I get a 'Path does not have a valid package.' error. Any suggestions for how to get it installed. I'm running Joomla 3.15.

Thank you!

It installed without a hitch and appears to do just what I need on my production server. The form I want to link to is now showing up on my homepage, but I think I can fixed that my changing the URI. Before installing/testing in on my production server, I installed and tested in on my localhost development system, where it failed. When redirecting locally, it gives me the following error.

Initialization Error

Hi Fred

Your error in localhost does not suggest an issue with the plugin.

The plugin works by redirecting Joomla registration to the URI of a Joomla page that contains your CiviCRM registration (example:www.mysite.com/civicrm-registration).
It does this by looking for 'registration' in the url's query string.

Its designed to force all Joomla registrations through CiviCRM.

Is this what you are looking for?

[Fred]

Yes, it's working on my production system. Thank you!
