I want to pull users from another database so in which file is defined from which database users are generated? i google'd a bit but cant find this line of code nowhere...

i need to change this
Code:
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
to this
Code:
$option = array(); //prevent problems
$option['driver']   = 'mysql';            // Database driver name
$option['host']     = 'db.myhost.com';    // Database host name
$option['user']     = 'fredbloggs';       // User for database authentication
$option['password'] = 's9(39s£h[%dkFd';   // Password for database authentication
$option['database'] = 'bigdatabase';      // Database name
$option['prefix']   = 'abc_';             // Database prefix (may be empty)
$db = & JDatabase::getInstance( $option );
so users are generated from another db... thanks all for help in advance...

There is not need to hack any core Joomla files to authenticate users from a different database. The standard Joomla authentication is done in plugins/authentication/joomla/joomla.php. Based on that, you can develop your own plugin.

After your custom plugin has been installed, you can use the Plug-in Manager to disable the standard plugin 'Authentication - Joomla'.

Does that mean that you want to import users from a different database into Joomla, set the password and from then on manage them through User Manager?

NO i dont want to import. Because i have to manually export import and this no good... I want joomla to look in different database table when loading(registering, login etc)users... And i will manage them from starting database.

what i have to do????
go to 2nd site and use code above to change so users can load from 1st database...

i need path to file that is responsible for loading users and checking for their login and pass...

hope that someone knows how joomla is developed so he can tell me the location of code responsible for loading users.... Thanks in advance...
