[Building Sakai] can one join a site by visiting the site instead of using the membership tool

[Adam Marshall]

We are definitely interested although I think our short term solution will
be to add text to !error site suggesting that that may be able to gain
access by joining in My Workspace > Memberships

Our version of autojoin is different than the Cambridge implementation.  The
changes were mostly taking things out since the Cambridge version did things
we didn't need.  The code isn't public as yet, but that's mostly because I
haven't gotten around to uploading it.

 

As John said it requires a special URL that is only different by adding
'/join/' to an existing portal site URL. If someone is eligible to join a
site they will automatically be added.  In retrospect I think a better
approach would be to have a user preference so that people could decide up
front to either automatically join, or just visit, sites that they are
eligible to join.  It would be a lot more fluid than having a special URL.
It is more work to implement also.

 

If someone wants a copy I can provide it.

Yes John, you did. We use it here at UM - something Cambridge did and Dave
Haines added it to our build.
We give out a URL like   <server>/join/portal/site/<siteid>
and going to the site with that URL adds the person to the site (they may
have to login first in the process of getting there).

I'm pretty sure we did something for this use case. You might try  
searching for "autojoin". I think it created a special url that would  
add a logged-in user to the site and then put them into the site.

We keep getting the same confusion regarding Joinable sites.
 
The scenario is this: a joinable site is created then the URL is  
publicised,
people go to the site but of course since they're not members, they  
are
denied access.
 
Is there a patch which we can apply which will display a "Join Me"  
link or
button when one visits a joinable site without being a member?
 
I'm sure I saw something mentioned about this a few years ago but  
could find
it by searching Jira.
