Joomla 2 CiviCRM User Sync A Joomla 2.5 / 3.x plugin that fires after a new
Joomla/CB user is created and does the following: Checks if CiviCRM contact exists (based on email
given during Joomla/CB registration) Links Joomla user to CiviCRM contact (if multiple
users exist configuration setting is used to get oldest, newest or create new contact – or even skip)
Automatically maps Joomla name to first, middle, last name fields in CiviCRM (CB already has such fields)
Can create new activity based on sync event performed (configurable)
