NYCPHP Meetup

[Hans Kaspersetz]

Not to complicate things too much but we have a couple of Mambo sites 
that require being logged in before viewing any content.  We actually 
create a login.php script and redirect non logged in users to the 
login.php script from Joomla's index.php.

In other cases we use Joomla's session handling to check if someone has 
been to a page on this visit or in the past and redirect them to the 
landing we want them on.  You can use either approach instead of using 
index.html.  The other nice thing is you can add logic in Joomla's 
index.php to do things like record the fact that someone has visited a 
page and not redirect them.

But this all means hacking Joomla stuff and might be to much work.
