Been looking at the authentication plugins for Joomla 1.5 and how to create them here http://docs.joomla.org/Tutorial:Creating_an_Authentication_Plugin_for_Joomla_1.5

I'm thinking that it wouldn't be too hard to:
  • authenticate against the Joomla user table
  • then use CRM_Core_BAO_UFMatch::synchronize to get the CiviCRM userID
  • then perform a db lookup to check the individuals membership status.

Was looking at http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,3444/Itemid,35/ to query the civiCRM db but am sure there is a much slicker way of doing this.

Does this sound viable and the correct way of going about this?

the first part sounds right.

the second part you can use CiviCRM functions to access CiviCRM db. You dont need another component to do so. There are quite a few helper functions in CRM/Core/DAO.php that allow you to find/retrieve/update data from the DB
