Question

Would anyone have any experience to share and/or sample code that shows accessing the session state information for a user logged into a Joomla web site? Simply showing the logged in user’s name or something similar in Silverlight would be very interesting to me.

Thanks

Answer 1

Joomla Session data is stored in your local cookie.

Given that the silverlight app is coming from the same domain(isn’t it?!!)
as the joomla site, silverlight should be able to access the cookies that joomla saved.

Then you can look at the session table, compare the session id from the cookie, and
get your user…

Hope this helps
