In a standard installation of Joomla! 2.5 we have several predefined events which, when triggered, call functions in the associated plugins.

The user events are divided into two parts. First we have the events used while authentication of a user takes place:

  • onUserLogin (on Joomla 1.5: onLoginUser)
  • onUserLogout (on Joomla 1.5: onLogoutUser)
  • onUserAuthenticate (on Joomla 1.5: onAuthenticate)
  • onUserAuthorisationFailure (on Joomla 1.5: onAuthenticateFailure)

Second we have the events triggered during user management:

  • onUserBeforeSave (on Joomla 1.5: onBeforeStoreUser)
  • onUserAfterSave (on Joomla 1.5: onAfterStoreUser)
  • onUserBeforeDelete (on Joomla 1.5: onBeforeDeleteUser)
  • onUserAfterDelete (on Joomla 1.5: onAfterDeleteUser)

onUserLogin[edit]

Description[edit]

This event is triggered after the user is authenticated against the Joomla! user-base.

If you need to abort the login process (authentication), you will need to use onAuthenticate instead.

onUserLogout[edit]

Description[edit]

This event is triggered before the user is logged out of the system. If one plugin returns false, the global logout fails. (needs verification)

Parameters[edit]
