CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I notice that in admin.civicrm.php

    $user = JFactory::getUser( );
    require_once 'CRM/Core/BAO/UFMatch.php';
    CRM_Core_BAO_UFMatch::synchronize( $user, false, 'Joomla', 'Individual' );

is used but in the the front end there is still

    global $my;
    require_once 'CRM/Core/BAO/UFMatch.php';
    CRM_Core_BAO_UFMatch::synchronize( $my, false, 'Joomla', 'Individual' );



I'm not sure if it relates to some of the front end issues I am having, but the new way is definitely the way to go for 1.5.

Is it  necessary that this be Individual and not contact?  I know there's a philosophical idea aobut how other types of contacts should be handled but if authentication were possible agains the contact table, couldn't that let us have organizations with sign ins?

Thank you for all three responses Deepak!
