Is it possible to put a link inside the umbraco admin and point it to another web project? The thing is I have a seperate admin module and I want a single admin login interface. So I was thinking of using the umbraco admin login and use the users defined in umbraco for my seperate admin module.
@Sherry as skiltz says, you can pretty much bend Umbraco to do whatever you need. The video linked to by skiltz shows probably one of the most simple methods of integrating a third party system, which mainly consist of
1) Create a custom section 2) Create an app tree (You can use the SitemapAppTree to make this really easy http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/sitemapapptree) 3) Display the custom pages within the right hand side iFrame (SitemapAppTree can take care of this too)
You'll probably have a bit of tinkering to do to get the apps to sit within the same site, but it should be pretty straight forward.
The other option is to go for a full integration creating you own specific custom section, apptree and admin screens which then speak to your app through an exposed API (Webservice).
Both have their advantages and disadvantages, on required skill level and quality of the integration, but you can most definatley achive what you are looking for.
Access another web project inside umbraco admin
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to put a link inside the umbraco admin and point it to another web project? The thing is I have a seperate admin module and I want a single admin login interface. So I was thinking of using the umbraco admin login and use the users defined in umbraco for my seperate admin module.
Thanks,
Sherry
Take a look at Matts video here. http://stream.umbraco.org/video/862728/umbraco-uk-festival-matt
Umbraco can basically do whatever you want, it's just finding the best way to acomplish what you need.
@skiltz thanks for the recommendation =)
