MojoPortal extension/feature

Hi guys,

I am/want to develop an extension for MojoPortal. I have already design the OO UML and ER schemans that I need to represent the bussiness model. I completely understand the interaction with the database layer and how to develop in the same way to make sure that the project follows the same facade pattern, but I have a number of questions:

Should I know about Codesmith? If I do could you let me what do I have to read.

How could I modify the registration process?

We want to ake an extension to manage students (I can give the details if you are interested) and we would like to have a registration process that directly adds the users to the a student role which would allow them to access their details etc...

 

Regards,

Hi Mandel,

If you use Codesmith you can get a jump start on a lot of code using templates I have written. You create your tables in the db then run Codesmith templates against it. If you look in the CodesmithTemplates folder in the mojoportal source tree, you'll fnd a .zip for an older freeware version of Codesmith. Most of the scripts can work with that version, but if you have the budget I highly recommend the newer version. I have a training video link on this page where I talk some about using Codesmith.

You can customize the user profile system and define arbitrary properties and you can specify that properties are required for registration.

You can write a custom handler for User Registered Event and put your custom logic there to add the user to a role or whatever you need to do.

Hope it helps,

Joe
