I have a wordpress instance installed in joomla's root folder, I would like to enable Single Sign On with joomla and wordpress. How do i do that. Also, i tried with attempting to access session value set in joomla page in my wordpress. But an not able to access it.
Appreciate any methods to enable Single Sign on bt/w joomla and wordpress.
Jfusion would probably be the easiest way to handle the dual login.

Hi and thanks for reading&answering my question. I am fairly new to Joomla,however I have built a directory website and started to put some content. I have created the standard pages(contact us, privacy etc) and added businesses. I would like SEO friendly URLs so I set Search Engine Friendly URLs, URL Rewriting --YES, and Suffix --No. However, Joomla somehow rewrites my alies and change them. example: mywebsite/bar-and-dinner is displayed now as my website/bar-din-r. I contacted the support of the plugin I use and they told me that I must have had some filters on Joomla that creates such a problem. I tried to purge cache on the website & server still the same. I just updated to Joomla 4.0. Thanks in advance for your help.
I have a Moodle site, in one of the Moodle pages I have an iFrame which contains a Drupal application. I want the Drupal application to see whether the user is logged in on Moodle, and if so show extra content.
However, I cannot access the session data from Moodle (especially information on the User) to in Drupal.
I tried two things:
If the iframe was a normal PHP page, I'd pass session_start(); on the top of the page in order for the session to persists, but I have no idea HOW to do that in Drupal.
And since they are on the same server, I tried accessing the config.php file in Moodle from a plain PHP file in the Drupal directory, and, as expect, I was able to get the variable. But as soon as I do this inside the Drupal application, a clash in function name between Moodle and Drupal threw an error.
The other option is to add a plugin in Moodle which sets a cookie on user login, a cookie that Drupal can get. But I'm really against this option since anyone can set a cookie and it persists. (There's no guarantee the user will click log-out)
I've never used/touched Moodle and Drupal until today. Can anyone help me figure out how to check whether a user is logged in on Moodle, from an iframe running a Drupal application?
A quick google gives the following moodle plugin that may be useful: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=208285
Looks like it allows single sign-on between the two, I've never used moodle before, but this may be a step in the right direction.
I`ve been using joomla from past 2 years. As joomla is a very popular CMS for php lovers so hackers are always trying to deface the website in joomla. Anyone can easily detect the website is using on joomla or any other programming language by using wappanalyzer software. In joomla we can access the administrator panel by typing
http://phalana.com/administrator.
So my question is how to change the /administrator to something else so that hackers will not get to the administrator panel. So far i've seen the number of extensions in official joomla directory But still something is lacking on it.Can anyone help me to change the administrator path.
Changing /administrator is a very bad idea for a lot of reasons top amongst, ironically, is security. Apart from that it:
breaks lots of components
cuts you off from easy application of security updates
the effects of renaming are unknown from a security point of view
The best way to secure Joomla's /administrator area is to follow some simple steps...
Add realm authentication to the /administrator directory that way unless you hacker manages to figure out the username and password they're stumped.
Use an extension like JSecure or Akeeba's Admin tools (both allow your to set a "secret word" on the administrator URL) or check the extensions already available in the Login Protection section of the Joomla! Extension directory (called JED for short). N.B. I personally like Admin tools the most, with the /administrator?secreword, their application firewall and the .htaccess maker.
Follow the advice on the Joomla Doc's website Security Checklist
Personally we do all of these things and a bit more... as we keep telling people.
You can protect or hide your /administrator directory by creating an alternative directory wich sets a cookie that is sent to the http header in the request. That cookie will be validated from the index.php file at the /administator directory, if is not validated (when an unauthorized user wants to detect if your site is Joomla based by the known /administrator directory), then it will be redirected to the root directory for your site.
These are the steps.
*create an alternative /administrator directory ie: /admins_place
*inside /admins_place, create an index.php with the following code
snippet
<?php
$admin_cookie_code = "_hashed_secret_code_here_";
setcookie("JoomlaAdminSession", $admin_cookie_code, 0, "/");
header("Location: ../administrator/index.php");
?>
*In administrator directory add this code snippet at the beginning of
the index.php file.
<?php
if($_COOKIE['JoomlaAdminSession'] != "_hashed_secret_code_here") {
header("Location: ../index.php");
}
I hope this helps
I need to do custom redirect after login, but i'm not very familiar with the base of Joomla, so i'm did a little hardcode
$app->redirect(JRoute::_('http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 0, strrpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/')).'/index.php?option=com_myapp'));
But in some cases there are problems, so is it possible somehow determinate what is the default joomla domain/url/path where it is installed so i could use something like $domain.'/index.php?option=com_myapp'?
P.S.
Using 2.5
You can get the joomla site url using-
JURI::base();
JURI::root();
JURI::base() Result differs according to front and backend
You can check different joomla constant here-

Change Redirect URL of Joomla Login Page
I have a joomla website.here is the link
link for siteI want to integrate a external php signup and login form.I create a php signup form.It works perfecly.
signup linkBut the problem is i dont know how to integrate that form to my joomla web pages...I want to secure my web pages..Only registered users can view my page....please help me..
Why have you create your own register form? Joomla already has the one. To see it follow the link index.php?option=com_user&task=register, Login for there index.php?option=com_user&task=login. If you need more fields to be filled out during registation you may you Community Builder. This extention allows to add to user profie as many fields as you want
It is also possible to use Chronoforms to allow for registration that brings in multiple fields as well without having to bring in an external file for registration/login.
Using the tools Joomla has to stay within Joomla is really the best way to go about it. It will allow you to keep your sanity and keep things as uniformed as possible.
