Question

How can I auto-login a user in Joomla 1.5. I am using this code:

global $mainframe;

$db =& JFactory::getDBO();  

$query = ‘SELECT `id`, `password`, `gid`’. ‘ FROM `#__users`’. ‘ WHERE username=’ . $db->Quote( JRequest::getVar(‘username’, null) ). ‘   AND password=’ . `enter code here` $db->Quote( JRequest::getVar(‘passw’, null) );

$db->setQuery( $query );
$result = $db->loadObject();

    if($result) {
       JPluginHelper::importPlugin(‘user’);
       $response->username = JRequest::getVar(‘username’, null);
       $result = $mainframe->triggerEvent(‘onLoginUser’, array((array)$response, $options));
    }

$mainframe->redirect(‘XXXXXXXXXXXX’);

Where did I go wrong?

Answer 1

add this top of the code, it will solve the issue

jimport(‘joomla.user.helper’);
