Hi,
I'm the author of two bridges, one for coppermine and other for phpbb.
Both use the same logic and I'd like to adapt them to work with the coming Joomla 1.5.

Explanation of the logic: it's not joomla that include the script as a component  but the contrary: the script that include joomla.
I modify the script in a way that it capture joomla's output  (by including index.php). Then the output is processed  in order
that this output is viewable from script subfolder.
Additional processing is done to join  script's output to joomla's output in order to avoid the use of a wrapper.
Well that's a "rough"  explanation, but you should get the idea.

Here's a basic example of how to capture Joomla's output from a subfolder:


Now here's my problem. This logic work pretty well with Joomla 1.08.
When I login into Joomla 1.08, and then that I use that the previous basic script in a subfolder, I get a correct Joomla's output; in particular, In the  output I see  that I'm also logged.


However with the latest Joomla 1.5 build  I've downloaded, I see a problem . I can be connected into Joomla 1.05, but with the script it looks like as if I'm still disconnected.


I can also perform the test by changing a line in the previous basic example.
Instead of:

I replace by:


It this case it will always display "disconnected" with Joomla 1.5. Not  the case with version 1.08.

Would you help me to find/fix the problem ?
Does this have with increased security inside Joomla 1.5 ?
Could the problem be avoided ?

thanks

well,  I found the solution.
problem is that constant $mosConfig_live_site or equivalent is no more stored in configuration but is instead determined dynamically.
Since sessions depend on this , I have the previously mentioned problem.

Solution is to overwrite value $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] before inclusion.
Then the dynamically  determined 'live_site' value will be correct.

Please read this thread --> http://dev.joomla.org/index.php?option= ... nsions_fit


There you can see the usage of $mosConfig_live_site globals is deprecated (but supported for backward compatibility), use JRequest::getVar('live_site') instead.
