This is a good idea. I have not done this yet. Do submit a pull request if you do this. I shall try to do this when I get some free time.

If you want a different view for App1 and App2, you can fetch the user data from UserManager using user.json and then render the info in your own way specific for App1 or App2.

In case of edit, you should set the form url to post the data to UserManager app and send a redirect_url as one of the parameters, so the views are consistent after update.

Thanks for your quick reply, it makes more sense now and SSO enables a seamless access to the UserManager’s data. ‘Step 2.’ would mean that the /users/:id/edit ‘s view is common to all Apps. If we wanted App1 and App2 to have a different design to show / edit the user profile I’m guessing that ‘Step 2.’ would not achieve that, am I right?

@Bastien, If you synchronize data across your apps, you would end up with some crazy amount of complexity. The User model should *always* reside on the UserManager (I am guessing this is the omniauth provider for App1 and App2). In case you need to show / edit the user details, you can do this:

1. Post-authentication, you send the user.json request (as it shows in the sample app) and return the current details of the user – cache this information and show it in App1 or App2.

2. When you want to edit a user, simply redirect the user to /users/:id/edit Since there is SSO in place, you can easily move between applications and you can set a return_url in the session if required.

Thanks for your quick reply and help!

I know how to filter by link with an amount like 30-50, but can I also string together different single values or ranges? Like “30-50″+”green”+”c” to give users a number of filter presets?

Best regards,

Sebastian

Hi Gautam,
First thanks for this great explanations, it helped me a lot figuring out the right set up for my auth system! I have one question in my mind for which I can’t find a good answer ; let’s say App1 and App2 need to access the UserManager’s User model to display & edit the current_user profile (first_name, last_name…), how would you implement such interaction? (JSON API, synchronisation of the User model in AppX and UserManager, user profile’s page hosted on the UserManager…) Again thank you very much!

Yes, you can set link input like(ref: examples/filterjs.html and examples/filterjs.js )

 Price: 50

Set the 'filter_criteria': link_filter: ['#link_filter .EVENT.change .SELECT.:input', 'amount'] To set corresponding checkboxes you have to implement code in the click event.

$('#filter_by_link').click(function(e){
       fJS.filter();
      // corresponding checkbox  selection implementation
});

For second point you can set 'and_filter_on: false' in filter criteria but implemented 'and' - 'or' filter function is not working correctly , I am working on it. On complete i will let you know.

Thank you for your great work!

Two questions:
- Is it possible to string together single values for link filtering? Like for example 31 and 34? (and
maybe have it also check the corresponding checkboxes?)
- Can I change the filter behaviour, so that all results are shown if no boxes are checked?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again,
Sebastian
