Joomla will be used for main page and forum, moodle - only for courses. What I need to do? Set 2 MySql bases? Put Moodle catalog inside Joomla?

Hello Yulia,

I can't explain how you do it but it is possible to make a Joomla - Moodle bridge so that there is just one login to both and Moodle is viewed inside Joomla. Apparently it's a little tricky to do.

This link may help Moodle - Joomla Bridge and this forum discussion Joomla Moodle Bridge Login help

I too would be interested to here from people who've recently succeeded with this.

Cheers,
Glenys

Joomla has a free plugin called JFusion, which is Moodle-aware. (It also interfaces with a number of other softwares.) JFusion can be used as a single sign-on solution. Install it as a Joomla component and make it the default login module. Disable the Joomla login module. There's a bit of configuration that must be done within JFusion but it can all be done through the Joomla interface (no coding) and it's mostly self-explanatory.

We had this working perfectly. It will let your Joomla visitors get into your Moodle site without any additional sign-on. It will also keep profile information synchronized. Be aware that there won't be any other real communication between Joomla and Moodle. You can put Moodle into a Joomla iFrame but it's just a dumb window-within-a-window. If you need the two systems to interact, you may be out of luck.

There is one small problem. If I delete user in Joomla he can logged in Moodle with the same account.
