Moodle integration

[fbunadi]

We're building a help modal dialog in moodle 2 that will get the contents from phpmyfaq but when they click on the specific faq link from the dialog, it will take them to phpmyfaq page.

The question is, is it possible to auto log them into phpmyfaq especially when the faq isn't for public?
Or is there a way to view the faq that belogns to certain group without the need to login?

Hi,

you can define a "auto-join" group in phpMyFAQ, where all new users automatically join. You can use this for your Moodle integration.

Does this auto join means, everyone who just join phpmyfaq will belong to this group?

Can you logged the user in automatically to phpmyfaq from an external link in moodle because even if they belong to this group, they won't see the faqs because they haven't logged in, is that right?

We actually want to separate the faq based on their moodle role, so student/public will see the public faq, whereas the staff will see a protected faq that only staffs can see. In order to view those protected faq, they have to login to phpmyfaq otherwise they won't be able to see, is that correct?

But what we're building is a help in modal dialog in moodle that has the top 5 faq link (this is retrieved from phpmyfaq) and if a staff clicked on one of the faq (assuming it's a protected faq), it will take them to phpmyfaq and they will still be able to see this faq without logging in even though it's a protected faq and this protected faq should still be hidden from public. Is it possible? If it's not, can we auto logged them into phpmyfaq so they can see this protected faq without having to go through the login page in phpmyfaq?

Hi,

auto-join means, that everyone is in this group.

I think that what you need is not possible out of the box...
