Plugin/Events/User
From Joomla! Documentation
The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.
Regarding the part: "5.3.2.1 Description This event is triggered after the user is authenticated against the Joomla! user-base. If one plugin returns false, the entire authentication process fails."
On my 1.5.15 (2 separate installs for making sure): The "entire authentication process fails" does not seem true. Returning false displays the standard "bad login" JError::Warning message but the user still remains logged in. Also, at least some of the "user" group of events/methods can be placed in "authentication" grouped plugins. I have tested this at least for onLoginUser (while trying to find out if I did something wrong). A hint/explanation would be nice.
