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
}
?>

Joomla validate chrono forms using jquery

It is a common practice to use Chrono forms in our joomla site to setup various forms in the site, be it a contact us form, submit a ticket form, or whatever. I have set the option "validate form" to "No" under chronoform settings in admin panel, and also preferred to not include any js or css files. For validating the chrono forms, i prefer jquery. So first lets add jquery support in our joomla. It is quite simple: 1. Download jquery.js and jquery_min.js (1.4.2 version is enough) and place them in media/system/js folder of your joomla. 2. Edit libraries->joomla->html->html->behavior.php, and add the following function below the mootools() function: function jQuery($debug = null)     {         static $loaded;         global $mainframe;         // Only load once         if ($loaded) {    ...

php get content between tags

This involves parsing the dom document. <?php function getTextBetweenTags($tag, $html) {     $dom = new domDocument;     @$dom->loadHTML($html);         $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false;     $content = $dom->getElementsByTagname($tag);     $out = array();         foreach ($content as $item)     {         $out[] = $item->nodeValue;     }     return $out; } $xhtml = '<tag>abc def</tag><tag>123 456</tag>'; $content2 = getTextBetweenTags('tag', $xhtml); foreach( $content2 as $item ) {     echo $item.'<br />'; } ?> Output: abc def 123 456
