Single Sign-On joomla administration component

FEATURES

This is a light version of the our Multistes Sitemanager component where we have removed all the copy and creating NEW SITES features. That means if you already have the Multisites Manager(Pro) installed - you do not need this component!

The sites you use must be on the same server (if you want to use it on another server you need Multisites Manager(ProFTP) version. Some servers allow to use different domains but not all! It depends on the server configuration.

The features of this joomla administration component include:

• Site Categories section allows you to group sites into categories
• Site Manager section allows you to create sites that you will synch your users with (you'll need to know the full or relative path to the site, its URL and database info)
• User Manager section will help you manage users (check if they are "managed" and "associated" which is necessary for synchronization)
• Configuration will help you make changes to the maximum execution time and check whether you want a clean uninstall if needed. It is recommended to leave the default settings
• Synchronize Users (All Sites) is a quick way to synchronize users throughout all published sites
• Batch Functions - for each of them sample data is shown so you can check the right formatting

• Joomla up until 1.0.12
• Joomla 1.0.13 and above
• Joomla 1.5.x

Two sites based on Joomla 1.5.x and 1.0.x won't be synchronized!

Feel free to browse the support forum and if you have any pre-sale questions get a reply from our technicians.

TRIAL

To give you a better idea of how to use this joomla omponent on your site we do provide a trial copy for you!

You are free to use it for 15 days and can download the component and license file by clicking on the TRIAL button.

Note! You need to be a registered user to be able to download the trial copy as it's located in a user's members area! Register here!

The trial copy is encoded and requires IonCube Loaders to be installed on your server. Many host companies do have the services already installed and just require a php.ini setting to enable them, check it with you hosting provider. You can also download and install the FREE loaders yourself, just check http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php
