Hello,

I want to know if is possible load a backend component on to the frontend and controls the views and the tasks using of the ACL Joomla feature. Is it possible?

Thanks for answers.

Not really. Joomla uses an MVC design and the frontend and backend are separate. There are two ways to work around this, 1) copy your back end model and modify it for the front end (a violation of DRY programming) or 2) use FOF3 which has an HMVC design allowing for models to be reused.

It's tricky but it can be done.  Look at com_media as a very rough example.

There are some config values you can push into the MVC classes to force them to load resources from a specific path by default.  Otherwise they use defaults based on the active application.  You'll have to read the MVC class constructors and the factory methods to make sense of this.

I don't remember but I believe that the 'Project Fork' extension in an old version loaded the same backend component into frontend but I don't finding the version.
