I have developed a new Joomla! extension to get login on a WebCT site from Joomla!

All the necessary parameters could be configured from the backend in order to get login succesfully.

You only need to configure the glcId and point the URL where you are going to go to authenticate your WebCT user.

How do I know which is the glcId you should use??
Well, the only thing you have to do is point your mouse on the original WebCT build in login page and with a right click to view the source code of it you only have to look for the glcId which is something like this:
URN:X-WEBCT-VISTA-V1:26a79a67-vc15-00525-01g8-3419d2c92a3d

How do I know which is the URL I have to point my form to??
Easily, it appears on the same source code and usually it is something like this: /webct/authenticateUser.dowebct
...of course you have to put the full path on the module configuration: http://yoursite.edu/webct/authenticateUser.dowebct

There are also two parameters such as insID and insName but they are not necessary to the module function.

This module is just a simple way to display a contact form in a module position and
avoid page reload using AJAX to send the message.


HISTORY

The history is really short but everybody write about it on the README.txt
files and I just want to put something:
There was a first version (1.0) which was developed using a Javascript library of myself
and it was not a "code beauty" , that´s why I made this new one which is less uggly
(on the code stuff i mean) and it use Mootools (people love it :)


WHAT´S NEW ON THIS VERSION??

First of all: it was completly rewrited and variables was the only things which
remain their names (am not sure at all)

• In this new version I used Mootools instead of a simple Javascript library to proccess the webform and now it is faster.

• The CSS is now really configurable and you can give it colors to make it better look with your template.
• ANTISPAM system is now done. I do not want to use CAPTCHA to avoid spam but...instead of it I used hidden fields which is a simple way to do it and it is transparent to users. I added a hidden field call "Spam" and if some robot try to fill it there will be a funny message which said: "Hello Spammer! This form is not for you :)"
• There is also a new way to validate fields using a form validator named: fValidator (http://zendold.lojcomm.com.br/fvalidator/)....GREAT TOOL!!
• You could now decide if some fields are gonna be mandatory or not. Exactly am talking about the Name and the Title of the message, not the Email because .... hello... it is a contact form, how would you contact back the user without the email?? (I don´t know what I was thinking about on the first one)

I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS MODULE !!!

This is a cool module to keep in touch with yours visitors. It´s a simple way to display a contact form in a module possition and the best of all: it use AJAX to send the message...soo, user have not to refresh the page.
It is very configurable from the backend, you could change the fields text, set your own email to send the form to and even change the messages text while AJAX is loading.

Although this is the first version (1.0), I will develop a new one to include some other features.

I hope you enjoy it!!
