I'm not sure how that would work - when you arrive at a new page, how is Moodle supposed to figure out which of the logins you are expecting to view it as (unless Moodle started passing around extra parameters on each page to determine which it was).

I suspect (and I'm not that familiar with Joomla), that in Joomla, you are able to log in as one user on the 'front-end' and another user on the 'back-end'. Moodle does not have this distinction between the front-end and back-end, you are logged in as a single user and can access whatever administration functions that user has been given access to.

My recommendation would be to make use of the 'Users' feature of Chrome ( https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824?hl=en-GB ) and log in to Moodle as an admin with one browser user and student or teacher with another browser user (this is what I do most of time). You can also try using another browser (Chrome + Firefox) as an alternative or the MDK browser extension to quickly login with different accounts.

Hi,

Have you heard of Joomdle - http://www.joomdle.com ? As it has combined integration with Joomla and Moodle.

Cheers,

Gareth

Again i am login into the joomla front end then automatically login to the moodle(Y) user. Now refresh the joomal administrator page, now i am getting into the moodle(Y) user. Where is it moodle(X) user login?

To echo Davo's suggestion I use a plugin called "ProfileSwitcher" for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profileswitcher/

which allows me to have a different profile (and therefore login session) in each window.  So I can be logged in as an admin in one window, and a student in another.

Though profiles are much much more involved than that (separate settings, history, bookmarks, addons, etc...)
