Galleon Forums Installed
I just installed Galleon Forums on our internal user admin for LandsofAmerica.com. It's not open to the public yet, but I built integration to keep our Accounts tables in sync with the Galleon User tables. When a new user is added, or a user is updated, the Galleon User tables also get updated. That way we have a "single signon" capability and user don't have to log in twice.
Another interesting hurdle I hit was that Galleon uses Session.User to store a struct of user details for each User that logs in. This is a problem because I was already using Session.User to store an instance of a User object for our login. Rather than go through and try to update all of Galleon to use something like Session.GalleonUser, I just added some properties onto my User object and I have Galleon fill this data as if it was just another struct. So now my user object has all of the getters and setters it already had, plus a batch of public properties to use through the Galleon app.
All in all it only took about a 2 days to get the forums really up and running with the single signon capability. Thanks to Ray for another great Open Source project.
