Symfony, Joomla, com_wrapper, security

First off, I apologize to those who have tried to post comments. I did not realize I had broken my commenting section when I recently uploaded a threaded comment plugin. As far as I can tell, it is fixed.
I’ve received a few emails and requests for more information about linking Symfony to Joomla (Original Post). The questions were pretty varied, but mostly centered around gaining some additional clarity and securing my approach using symmetric encryption.
Symfony, Joomla, and user authorization
by chris on Jun.09, 2008, under Coding, Work
I’ve been having this migraine of a headache lately. Its the result of trying to get a symfony-based web service that requires authentication to hook up with a Joomla web site. I’ve tried using COil’s suggestions, but it still didn’t quite work.
UPDATE 6/10/08: I think I’ve nailed a solution down.
Symfony and Google Maps
by chris on Feb.29, 2008, under Coding, Work
As many of you know in my “free” time I manage, direct, and write code for a small company called txtMovieClub.com. It’s a pretty neat idea where we notify our subscribers of up coming movie screenings via SMS messaging.
One of the aspects to the project involves using google maps. Now since the project is written in php and uses symfony (which is flippin’ awesome!) I checked out phoogle. I’ll say this… it’s a good start and I like where Justin was going with it. It’s sexy, it’s abstract, neat. Unfortunately it just didn’t meet the needs for the page I was working on.
I decided to take a different approach. I wanted the map to be AJAX driven. If I wanted to modify the location I didn’t want to have to reload the map, I just wanted the map to clear its markers and recenter.
