With regards to Facebook Connect feature.. all those authentication plugins are called when a user types in there user name and password and click on sign in. But in facebook connect the user detais are entered on facebook server not mine.. so i need to call some other mechanism to log user in. can you plzz suggest any..

Step 4 in your description tells about login and authorization before loading joomla component. When an authorization is performed on itemId, However this itemId is of menuItem rather than the component itself and there are times when you call a component link without having it attached to a menuitem.Can u suggest how actually a login/authorization check can be performed over a componentId instead of itemId,So that a component loads only when login/authorization checks are performed

I am not sure if you have checked this, but thier are some examples in ‘plugins\authentication’ folder which allows you to choose different authentication mechanism. I am sure you will find what something their.

@prateek i simply opened the index.php files and followed the functions call’s one after other to get these details. if you want to get into deep, just start reading the joomla code. It is time consuming but worth the time spent.

Nice effort Amit!
I was searching for articles to understand Joomla Architecture but most of the things on net are far from Architecture discussion.
Your article is a good effort in that direction. I am impressed by your insight.
I would appreciate if you share your learning experiences and pointers to other study material and experiments, which leads to understanding the architecture better.
Thanks
Prateek

Hi Amit,
This was a great post.

However, I was thinking that there are a large number of people who are unfamiliar with joomla, and introducing them would be a good idea. Wondering whether you could write a post on what is joomla, and what it is useful for, and why you should know about joomla if you are a techie. (For punetech if not for your own blog.)
