How to redirect to a backend component ?

[paulnecsoiu]

Hi guys,

I need to redirect from a site to a backend component from another site like below. The problem is that after the execution of the line I'am redirected to the backend where first I must to login and then the execution go to the component.php file.

The question is how can I be redirected directly to the entry file of the backend component e.g. component.php withowth requiering me to log???

Code: Select all

header("location:http://domain.com/joomla/administrator/index.php/option=com_component)

What I actually want is that after redirection to execute some code from the backend component.

Thanks in advance for any response.

Are you willing to go to a complete different site? Or is this in your own administrator. If the other site has password protection (and Joomla has) then you need to login always.

Tank you very much dam-man,

Indeed I need to redirect to a different site. I am glad that you have confirmed to me that it can not be done withouth login every time because I'm new to joomla coding.

But I find another solution to this. I moved the file that I want to redirect to in the frontend of the component :

Code: Select all

header("location:http://domain.com/joomla/index.php/option=com_component)

where it seems that apparently you don't need to login every time

Thank you again for your response.
