= sfJoomla15Bridge =

`sfJoomla15Bridge` is the same idea of sfJoomlaBridgePlugin but for Joomla 1.5: a symfony plugin that provides a bridge between a Joomla and a Symfony application. It allows to display symfony pages into Joomla.

It adds a new helper class: ''Joomla'' with 2 main functions :
   * '''link_to_joomla'''($module_action), to make a link to another symfony page (action/module) but in the Joomla application context.
   * '''form_tag_joomla'''($internal_uri = ' ', $options = array()), to declare a form that will be submitted to Symfony in Joomla context.

== Installation ==

  * Install the plugin
  
  {{{
    symfony plugin-install http://plugins.symfony-project.com/sfJoomla15BridgePlugin
  }}}
  
  or download it and unzip in your /plugins directory
  
  * Copy the files in '''/sfJoomla15Bridge/web''' directly to your application '''/web''' directory (com_symfony folder should be now in the web/components/ directory of Joomla)
  
  * Clear your cache
  
  {{{
    symfony cc
  }}}

== Configuration ==

  * Curl must be installed on your web server.


== Usage ==

  * 1 - You need to declare the following helper (or use the default helpers loaded parameter in you settings.yml) :
  {{{
<?php use_helper('Joomla'); ?>
  }}}

  * 2 - To make a link to another symfony page, in this case to the module '''index''' and the '''users''' action.
  {{{
<?php echo link_to_joomla('Users list', 'index/users'); ?>
  }}}

  * 3 - To declare a form that will be handled by Symfony, in this case form will be submitted to '''validateCreate''' action of '''users''' module
  {{{
<?php echo form_tag_joomla('users/validateCreate', array(
  'id'        => 'sf_admin_create_form',
  'name'      => 'sf_admin_create_form',
)) ?>
  }}}
