The Joomla! Forum™

I seem to be missing something very important when developing my components. For instance I've created a simple event-calendar and when logged in you have the possibility to add items to the calender by clicking a link. This link goes to the same component but with a different view passed (&view...

I'm writing my first plugin and it is an emaildomain blocker. The idea came to me after realizing that you can authenticate with a Google Apps account and it would be cool to have a portal where everyone from a certain domain can login but no one else. (Apparently other people is interested in a sim...

I'm having some serious troubles... I've created a component that registered user can submit inforation to from the frontend. This works fine and dandy when SEF is not turned on but as soon as I turn it on I get: 500 - View not found At the bottom it says: View not found [name, type, prefix]: frontp...

Case closed. Idiot behind the wheels. I'm using a template developed by myself and I was dead sure that I had included <jdoc:include type="message" /> but when I took a closer look I discovered that I hadn't. So I included it in the template and then discovered that there was an extra fiel...

I'm coding a component to display a simple list of events and I've hit a roadblock. I need to make it possible to add events from the frontend but when trying to save an event it throws me an 403-forbidden when the form action is set to "index.php?option=com_callisto". Forbidden You don't ...

I've started coding a simple calendar but there are some things missing. Since Joomla only is as strong as it's weakest component I really need to secure this thing 1. I need to validate that user has entered something/correct things in the fields that are required before submitting it and give the ...

Yes you can build an authentication plugin so that your users can login to your Joomla sub-sites using their account details from your main Joomla site. Your users would only have to register in one place and use the account on all your Joomla sites. That's good and I sorta suspected that, I just w...

Now that Joomla 1.5 has the wonderful plugin architecture wouldn't it be possible to create a plugin (or a set of plugins) that authenticates against another Joomla installation? The ideal situation would be that you could turn of user registration on all sites except the "master site" and yet have ...

I just tried the PDF function in Joomla 1.5 to see if I remembered correctly and yes I did. The PDF function in J!1.5 doesn't display just text, it displays images too.

After trying out this for a little while I've concluded that a combination is the best.

One check to see if the link should be displayed or not in the view and then one check in the controll to see if the customer has permission to view the page.

Yeah, it helped.

Since I'm not implementing any advanced ACL, just a check to see if people is logged in, I choose to put it in the controller as you suggested. Seems to work mighty fine.

Many thanks.

Thanks to the Hello World MVC tutorial and the demo component by uweD I have managed to start programing my simple eventlist. I've come so far that it displays the data from the database and I have a working solution to add data to the database. Now that I've come this far I would like to add some p...
