Hi,

 

I am currently working on a login script for Fellowship one where the user can just login to Fellowship One from our site.  I have the Data Exchange documentation. 

 Any ideas where to begin?

Hey Kevin,

Are you looking to put a link to your Fellowship One Portal (for staff and lay leaders) or to WebLink (for the congregation)? Portal ID’s are what your staff and lay leaders use to sign into your database from www.fellowshipone.com.  WebLink ID’s are what your congregation will use when for Online Giving and Small Groups. 

Data exchange will allow for you to use passthrough authenication to attach individual WebLink user ID's with your own website, not for Portal user ID's and passwords. 

If you would like to integrate a Fellowship One sign in to your website, I'd recommend creating a link for staff, like www.btcchurch.com.  They created a Staff link, with password authentication to get into staff resources.  If you want to keep it simple, you could direct this link to www.fellowshipone.com.

If you are using Data Exchange to attach WebLink User ID's, there is a great Quick Start document located in our online help that will walk you through the Data Exchange process.

Here's how you get to it in Fellowship One -

1. Sign in to Fellowship One

2. Click on our Online Help button (it is the blue question mark button located in the top right corner of the screen, to the right of the Report Library) 

3. Type "Data Exchange" in the Search box

4. Quick Start will be one of your options in lefthand navigation

God bless you for all you do,

Marie Armitage

 

Hi,

Thanks for the response.  I was actually needing an embedded username password text box similar to http://www.dynamic-church.com

 I recently talked to Curtis (sp?) at Fellowship Technologies regarding this issue.

 Many thanks,

Kevin

Also, I saw that a DLL file will have to be implemented.  I currently have MSVC++ version 6.  I probably need Studio .net with C# compiling.

Kevin,

We are working on replicating a login script similar to dynamic-church.com, too.  It seems that their login script (thanks to flock.com) is heavily driven out of javascript.  We have succesfully dropped in a .xml request, beginning to work on a .xsl doc to present FirstName LastName.

 Have you made any progress?
 

Has anyone made progress on this?  I am wondering if I can take a peak at your code to get an idea where to start.

There are two code examples available, one is in PHP and is located here --> http://www.3cords.org/forums/thread/553.aspx and the other is simple .NET example, it is attached to this thread.

We'll have a new site up in the not so distant future with code examples and other goodies in a single location.

I am also trying to do a login script similar to the one found on dynamic-church.com. I downloaded the attachment example given by csimmons but need additional assistance if anyone is willing to give it. Any takers?

Thanks

Hey, I've made www.rlc.info with F1 integration, and it's all out of PHP, so if you need any code, drop me an email.

In case anyone is interested in a .NET snippet, here is part of my class that verifies the login - F1 provides a DLL (DataExchange.Common.dll) as part of their example code set that you can register and use. It makes your coding fairly simple and readable, and object based. This is in VB, but easily translatable to C#. Hope this helps someone:

Public Sub New(ByVal UserID As String, ByVal Pwd As String)

Dim liObj As New DataExchange.Common.QueryObject.WebLinkLoginQO
Dim deHdr As New DataExchange.Common.QueryObject.DataExchangeHeader
Dim deMethod As New DataExchange.Common.Enum.MethodName
Dim deMethodGroup As New DataExchange.Common.Enum.MethodGroup
Dim xNode As XmlNode

liObj.UserId = UserID
liObj.Password = Pwd

deHdr.ChurchCode = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ChurchCode")
deHdr.User = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("SvcAcct")
deHdr.Password = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("SvcAcctPwd")
deHdr.Method = deMethod.GetIndividual
deHdr.MethodGroup = deMethodGroup.People
deHdr.Version = "2.0"

liObj.DataExchangeHeader = deHdr

xNode = DataExchange.Common.DataExchangeCallMethods.FetchIndividualByWebLinkUser(liObj)
If xNode.Name = "message" Then
  Dim Err As Array
  Dim deErr As String
  deErr = xNode.Item("ExceptionMessage").InnerText
  Err = Split(deErr, ":")
  Status = Err(0)
Else
  LoadVariables(xNode)
End If

End Sub
