Hi

We have a current registration system with it's own database (MS SQL). Is it possible to transfer the data for both existing and new students to joomla's user db through an automatic process like a cron job?
Also, can we pass login data from another site so that the user gets automatically logged into joomla/joomlalms?

We have been doing this with Moodle

Thanks
Ismael

Hello, Ismael

Usually it is possible, but needed a special development. You can request custom development at lms@elearningforce.biz. Also please provide a name of the CMS (or something other) which uses MS SQl DB, we need to know how this system encodes passwords.


Also, can we pass login data from another site so that the user gets automatically logged into joomla/joomlalms?

This is possible only if JoomlaLMS site is accessed as subfolder of your main site, i.e. your main site located at'site.com' and Joomla with JoomlaLMS installation is located at 'site.com/joomlalms'.
