because the salt is stored alongside the password (after the : )

1) user provides username and password;
2) use username to recover the password fieldvalue from the database table
3) extract the salt from result #2
4) use the password in #1 and the salt in #3 combine and hash to give password hash value
5) extract the hashed password from #2
6) compare #4 with #5 to validate

however, without looking at the php code used in joomla, can't say for sure thats what they are doing, would need to spend more time looking, maybe have a look tomorrow night, away to call it quits, as got an early start tomorrow.

Post how you get on, and i will look again hopefully tomorrow.
