This extension is no longer maintained. The PHP SDK, which this extension makes calls through, is still available at https://github.com/getyoti/yoti-php-sdk

This repository contains the tools you need to quickly integrate your Joomla back-end with Yoti so that your users can share their identity details with your application in a secure and trusted way. The extension uses the Yoti PHP SDK. If you're interested in finding out more about the SDK, click here.

To import the Yoti Joomla extension inside your project:

1. Log on to the admin console of your Joomla website. e.g. https://www.joomladev.com/administrator

2. Navigate at Extensions-> Manage -> Install and do one of the following:

   • click the Install from Web link and search for Yoti
   • click Upload Package File and upload the downloaded zip file from our extension page.
   • alternatively, you can use the Install from URL or Install from folder options

3. Install and enable Yoti login module and Yoti - User profile plugin.

To set Yoti up follow the instruction below:

1. Navigate on Joomla to Components-> Yoti (details in the Yoti Components settings section below)
2. Navigate to Extensions -> Modules, search for the Yoti Login module and publish it.
3. Navigate to Extensions -> Plugins, search for the Yoti - User Profile plugin and enable it.

After you have registered your Yoti, access the Yoti Hub to create a new application.

Specify the basic details of your application such as the name, description and optional logo. These details can be whatever you like and will not affect the extensions' functionality.

The Data tab - Specify any attributes you'd like users to share. You must select at least one. If you plan to allow new user registrations, we recommended choosing Given Name(s), Family Name and Email Address at a minimum.

The Integration tab - Here is where you specify the callback URL. This can be found on your Yoti settings page in your Joomla admin panel.

To set things up, navigate on Joomla to the Yoti extension. You will be asked to add the following information:

• Yoti App ID is the unique identifier of your specific application.
• Yoti Scenario ID identifies the attributes associated with your Yoti application. This value can be found on your application page in Yoti Hub.
• Yoti Client SDK ID identifies your Yoti Hub application. This value can be found in the Hub, within your application section, in the keys tab.
• Company Name will replace Joomla wording in the warning message displayed on the custom login form.
• Yoti PEM File is the application pem file. It can be downloaded only once from the Keys tab in your Yoti Hub.

Please do not open the .pem file as this might corrupt the key and you will need to create a new application.

Only allow existing Joomla users to link their Yoti account - This setting allows a new user to register and log in by using their Yoti. If enabled, when a new user tries to scan the Yoti QR code, they will be redirected back to the login page with an error message displayed.

Attempt to link Yoti email address with Joomla account for first time users - This setting enables linking a Yoti account to a Joomla user if the email from both platforms is identical.

Upon registration using Yoti, user data will be stored as serialized data into {DB_prefix}_yoti_users table in the data field.

You can write a query to retrieve all data stored in {DB_prefix}_yoti_users.data, which will return a list of serialized data.
