Joomla woes

thanks JonHack, I realize that it means changing their core files, but currently it's a pretty vanilla install. If I break it too badly we could likely start over. That being said, I'm merely wanting to inject an extra database check as an interupt to whatever they are already doing. If they are saying if $user then getUser($user->id) -- I would like too be able to say, if $user || $otheruser ... etc.

The fix should be easy since we have mapped the joomla user id's into our primary database, I simple cannot find where they are making the "isLoggedIn" determination.
