KickApps and Joomla sitting in a tree…

One of the most frequent requests that we get from publishers using KickApps is for single sign-on (SSO) functionality with their existing websites. Of these, many ask for integration with Joomla!. In response to this, we’ve developed an SSO plug-in that enables this functionality automatically.

Using the SSO plug-in, affiliates will enable a seamless login and registration experience for their members between their Joomla! installation and their KickApps powered community. Additionally, live Joomla! instances with existing members do not need to do an initial member export into KickApps; existing members will be registered into KickApps passively as they sign in to Joomla!. This results in a smoother experience for the community member and further deepens the white label relationship between the publisher and KickApps.

As a first, Austin based PowerKicker, Haylie McCort of DotcomCowgirl, and Joomla! developers Pixel Praise, implemented the SSO plug-in for Training for Warriors earlier this week.

Also, if you’re in New York and want to learn more about Joomla and KickApps, Mitch Pirtle, Chiefspacemonkey at spacemonkeylabs, and a co-founder of Joomla, will be speaking at tonight’s New York Joomla User Group meeting and at Saturday’s (October 13) Joomla Day here in New York.
