Comments on: Symfony, Joomla, and user authorization http://chrismills.net/blog/2008/06/09/symfony-joomla-and-user-authorization/ What's up with Chris Fri, 27 Aug 2010 21:01:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: chris http://chrismills.net/blog/2008/06/09/symfony-joomla-and-user-authorization/comment-page-1/#comment-2524 chris Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:20:10 +0000 http://chrismills.net/blog/?p=17#comment-2524 I really should revisit this. My work to come up with a solution used Joomla 1.0. The newer 1.5 likely has some advanced features that would allow for easier authentication. I really should revisit this.

I wondered, have you considered authenticating symfony users using the Joomla api? I feel this would give a more robust result, and would also probably be easier to implement, than querying the Joomla database directly. In particular, I think the Joomla JAuthentication and JUser classes will be the ones to look at. http://api.joomla.org/Joomla-Framework/User/JAuthentication.html http://api.joomla.org/Joomla-Framework/User/JUser.html I'd be interested to hear your views Cheers Hal Hi Chris
