I have a userId - $uid
.
I wanted to make this user as logged in to the s/m in joomla.
I've tried this -
$currentUser = new JUser($uid);
$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication('site');
$credentials = array();
$credentials['username'] = $currentUser->username;
$credentials['password'] = $currentUser->password; //this is the hashed password
//perform the login action
$mainframe->login($credentials);
$newuser = JFactory::getUser(); //this doesn't get updated to the new user ($uid) details
How can I make the user as the current user by using the uid itself?
Update: I just found that user can be loaded with JUser::load()
Trial 2-
$user = JUser::getInstance($uid);
$user->load($uid); //this should load the new user.
$newuser = JFactory::getUser(); //still i get the anonymous details here
//($newuser->id = 0)
As there is wp_set_current_user($uid);
for wordpress user_load_by_name()
in drupal, is there any similar function for joomla ? Please help.!!!
Thanks!
