Joomla redirection

Example of URL Redirection in joomla:
Suppose the user visits our component view page without logging in.
Then we want to force the user to login page (if he is not already logged in) and then redirect back to our page after logging in, and show a custom logout button.

This is a sample code in our component view:

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
global $mainframe;

if($user->id == 0)
{
$return_url = 'index.php?option=com_comments';
$return_url = urlencode(base64_encode($return_url));
$redirect_url = '&return='.$return_url;
$login_url = 'index.php?option=com_user&view=login';
$finalUrl = $login_url . $redirect_url;
$mainframe->redirect( $finalUrl, 'Please login or register before you post comment' );
}
else
{
 ?>
<table width="800">
<tr><td><?php echo 'Welcome <b>'.$user->name; ?></b></td>
<td align="right">
<form id="login" name="login" method="post" action="index.php?option=com_user">
<div class="readon">
        <input type="submit" value="Logout" class="button" name="Submit">
    </div>

<input type="hidden" value="com_user" name="option">
<input type="hidden" value="logout" name="task">
<input type="hidden" value="aW5kZXgucGhwP29wdGlvbj1jb21fY2Nhdg==" name="return">
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
}
?>

Ex: http://www.example.com/user_files/24/chat.txt In the above scenario, if the file "chat.txt" contains a secure data, and you dont want to allow end users to directly access the file, or to disable the file listing in the folder "user_files" or "24", use the below code in your .htaccess file inside "user_files" folder: Options -Indexes order allow,deny deny from all

css link remove dotted outline

Its quite awkward to look at the link, when it is clicked and the dotted outline appears on it. To overcome it, just add the following line to your css file: a { outline: 0; } For example, to remove the dotted outline for the menu links on your page, add this to your css: #navigation li a {    outline: 0; } ( Assuming you have this menu structure: <ul id="navigation"><li><a href="news.html">News</a></li></ul> )
