Hello guys!

I have some news for all those wanting Magento 1.0 and Joomla! 1.5.2 integration. I started working on it today.

I manage to hijack the magento session, the only missing part is to automatically identify the authentication method and generate the hash to authenticate against magento’s database (if you missed the new feature: magento now allows SHA1 and MD5). Then I’ll pack a new version of Magento plugin for JFusion so you can use it with our favorite Joomla! extension

Now, the bad news (which aren’t THAT bad). We are rewriting most of JFusion’s framework, and old plugins should stop working. That said, I’m not sure if its worth to create a Magento 1.0 plugin for the current version of JFusion (1.0.5) or if it is best to wait for the next version :). I’m going to talk to Marius tomorrow about this to see when he plans to release the next version of JFusion.

Oh, and I will need people to test in different environments. I hope I can count on you to help me (I will provide a Test-Matrix so we avoid redundant testing :P).

Gotta take some rest now. Stay tunned (I recommend you to subscribe to the RSS as I haven’t been able to update this blog very often lately…).
