    Default Using Dolphin with Zencart and TCExam

    I'll try to keep my question simple.

    I'm creating a community using Boonex Dolphin. Within Dolphin's environment, registered users need to be able to make purchases (handled by Zencart) in order to take tests on TCExam.

    Will Zencart and TCExam be able to access Dolphin's user database, so that the user moves seamlessly from Dolphin, through Zencart, and finally into their test on TCExam?

    What do I need to know in order to make this happen?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I think there is a modification on ExpertZZZ for this... but one problem with the mod (last time I saw it), they stick all the ZenCart stuff in the root public_html folder which makes for sort of a mess.

    If you wanted to do this yourself, or have us do it, the basic steps would be...

    a) Install ZenCart in it's own folder, perhaps /cart
    b) Install TCExam in it's own folder, perhaps /exam
    c) Get the auto-login working between Dolphin and the two above applications. There is a couple of ways to do this... use something like the "module" system or edit the Dolphin join form (and profile edit / password recovery) so the accounts are setup in the other applications, so your Dolphin "Profiles" match what is setup in the other applications. This will permit your users to move from Dolphin into your other applications.
    d) Deal with profile edits in the 3rd party applications,, as you need to keep the password and other information "in sync".

    It is not trivial - it takes some time - but very possible - we do it all the time. But it is some work.

    Warm regards,
