sfJoomla15Bridge

sfJoomla15Bridge is the same idea of sfJoomlaBridgePlugin but for Joomla 1.5: a symfony plugin that provides a bridge between a Joomla and a Symfony application. It allows to display symfony pages into Joomla.

It adds a new helper class: Joomla with 2 main functions :

• link_to_joomla($module_action), to make a link to another symfony page (action/module) but in the Joomla application context.
• form_tag_joomla($internal_uri = ' ', $options = array()), to declare a form that will be submitted to Symfony in Joomla context.

Installation

• Install the plugin

    symfony plugin-install http://plugins.symfony-project.com/sfJoomla15BridgePlugin

or download it and unzip in your /plugins directory

• Copy the files in /sfJoomla15Bridge/web directly to your application /web directory (com_symfony folder should be now in the web/components/ directory of Joomla)

• Clear your cache

    symfony cc

Configuration

• Curl must be installed on your web server.

Usage

• 1 - You need to declare the following helper (or use the default helpers loaded parameter in you settings.yml) :

  <?php use_helper('Joomla'); ?>
  

• 2 - To make a link to another symfony page, in this case to the module index and the users action.

  <?php echo link_to_joomla('Users list', 'index/users'); ?>
  

• 3 - To declare a form that will be handled by Symfony, in this case form will be submitted to validateCreate action of users module

  <?php echo form_tag_joomla('users/validateCreate', array(
    'id'        => 'sf_admin_create_form',
    'name'      => 'sf_admin_create_form',
  )) ?>
