Vanilla 2 Integration

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

I have already setup a new user separate from my manager user.

And I am using that new user on a different browser to test.

I had already set up the login process as per the link.

If I have the new user created identically in both modx and Vanilla, shouldn't Vanilla recognise when they are logged in via Modx? Or is there some extra step I've missed?

Don't create a user in Vanilla. Vanilla will automatically create the user upon logging in via the MODx login. I think it uses a hash of the password and the ID or secret that you have in your JSConnect configuration. So remove that Vanilla user and let it automatically create it.

errr my brain hurts.

No automatic creation is happening at the moment.

I going to have to leave this until tomorrow.

Thanks again.

I created completely new login pages exactly as per the Modx instructions, then reset the Vanilla connection settings urls and it still doesn't automatically add a user to the Vanilla users.

This is making my head spin.

You have a PM.

Hey Susan,

Following your vanilla article:
http://sottwell.com/article-vanilla/

But have the same issue where no user is auto created. In the Original Post of this discussion you create a plugin, but your article doesn't mention it but guessing thats because it was only needed with the "ProxyConnect" vanilla plugin.

Everything else seems to work, the vanilla login has an option to sign in with the modx site and the links direct to the correct pages.

I've tried setting

in the vanilla snippet to see if it was to do with the client id/secret but same problem.

Any suggestions what I maybe missing.

Thanks

I don't know. I did wrote exactly what I did.

But am i right in the modx plugin:

5. Create a plugin using the OnWebLogout system event with the following code:

$e = &$modx->Event;

switch($e->name) {
    case 'OnWebLogout': // integrated logout
            setcookie('Vanilla', ' ', time() - 3600, '/', '.domain.com');
            unset($_COOKIE['Vanilla']);
    break;
}

is no longer needed as no mention in you article. If so what telling vanilla to create the user thats just logged in.

I'm working locally, but will possibly try on a modx dev cloud so at least i know the environment is the same as you tut.

Success, you need FURL enabled.

When the jsconnect is trying to request the SSO modx page it's adding in an additional question mark to the url so you get:
"mydomain.com/index.php?id=2?client_id=111111111111"

Cheers

Where are the most update instructions for setting this up from stratch? The first post is a good few years old now and things have moved on I imagine.
