No way to link to Joomla (Joomdle block not shown) was created by wenxin
My users are in Moodle (2.2.1). I want them to SSO to Joomla2.5.
I followed your supper detailed instruction and passed all check steps successfully.
I can see a list of my Moodle users appeared in Joomdle user page and I synced them and got beautiful green ticks under their account.
In my Moodle admin>plugins, I can see the block name of Joomdle. But, from a course page, I can not see the Joomdle from neither the 'Add an activity..' menu nor the 'Add a block.. ' menu.
So, I have no way to let users to link to Joomla.
I tried to login as a synced user, use Moodle account, but Joomla said: no account.
I am not sure how to use Joomdle. But, must some way like Mahara block, lead users to Joomla.
Also, in Joomla, I add module or pages as wrapper of Moodle, nothing shown either.

Hi there,
Joomdle is not really written to bring Joomla content into Moodle. Instead the idea is to bring Moodle content into Joomla like Joomla is the front door with Moodle being a component of it. Thus you will not see a block linking into Joomla.
If every item under Joomdle's system health check has a green tick, I would start by creating a simple page (from the joomdle component) list the courses. This will tell you if you are at least pulling in Moodle data. Are you able to try this and test?

Thank you very much, Chis.
As you suggested, I created some pages to display Moodle course list, courses. Yes, the Joomdle displays the Moodle content beautifully (with a new theme).
But, I still don't know how to allow Moodle users to logon to Joomla. I have some modules in Joomla, which require user accounts. I want our staff and students to join a 'Joomla only' activities without the needs to create another account.
From Joomdle site, it says allow SSO, either from M>J, or J>M.
