[Building Sakai] joining a site from within the site itself

[Adam Marshall]

I have an idea that a while ago I saw somebody mention this.

What we'd like to do is have a .auth site which has a link somewhere to join the site (either on an HTML page or as a tool). This would be an alternative to going via My Workspace > Memberships.

Anybody implemented this? I couldn't find anything in SAK Jira but then I'm pretty hopeless at searching Jira!

Hi Adam,

Haven't implemented but it wouldn't be too difficult to do via  
EntityBroker. A custom entity could be made in the Site provider that  
maps to the /direct/site/<siteid>/join space... create a link and if  
the site if joinable, they are added. This would be a good one for the  
core EB providers, as it ties in directly with the joinable attribute  
of the Site API.

cheers,
Steve

Adam,
maybe you were remembering autojoin.
Dave Haines here hooked it up for us, based on something Ian did at one time I think.
If a site is joinable, and you go to https:/sakai.edu/join/portal/site/<siteid>
you are joined with whatever role is set as the joinable role.

So you could put a link with that URL on the site I suppose, or just give out that URL to get to the site in the first place. You can talk with Dave about it - I'm not sure where the code is.

yes that's what I'm thinking of. That's exactly what we want.

 

we've got this in our mavern but URLs of the form you describe don’t work here. I note theres a later revision r62056 so maybe we'll try that.

 

Many thanks for your response john

There are two autojoin's floating around I think. Michigan are using a different one to the one Ian did. Well at least that was what was said a while back on list when this came up before.

 I might go have a look in the UMich mSub.

Adam,

This is a tag of what we use in production here at Michigan:  https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/msub/umich.edu/ctools/autojoin/tags/sakai_2.6.0

Give if a try if you want.  Any feedback would be welcome.
