Thanks to recent work by Carl Christensen, you can now use Wordpress (a popular content management system) as the basis for your BOINC project's web site. This is described here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/WordPressInt
The notion of "account" is unified: when users log in with their BOINC email and password as usual, that is their identity for Wordpress features. Note that the Wordpress "theme" (navigation, fonts, colors) is not automatically applied to BOINC web pages. But you can do this yourself by modifying the BOINC stylesheet and header/footer functions. -- David -------- Original Message -------- Subject: qcn login from wordpress via boinc also logs in boinc qcn sites Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2011 20:14:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Carl Christensen <[email protected]> I have this up and working, and in a generic fashion for other boinc projects that may want to use wordpress. so if you login via Wordpress, it really checks the boinc database, and then sets a cookie that the boinc site pages of QCN (the main "sensor" site and the "continual" as well if your email address & passwords are the time). and it's easy to configure -- I just added an "authenticator field" on the wordpress ext_db validation plugin so other boinc projects don't even have to code (see screenshot). I'll update the boinc wiki now. I don't know if anyone will use this but it's pretty handy; plus we can assign various wordpress roles to users for validation eventually to get different access levels to data etc. ... _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
