CiviCRM Integration - Two UserIDs

Hey All!
I am newly back to PHPR and tackling something that seems difficult to me...
I am trying to enable my Joomla uses to record CRM type activities, phone calls for now, associated to CiviCRM Contact records.
The user logs in against the Joomla table jos_users, which I have described separately. The user does some registrations through both Civi and Joomla that associate their Joomla ID to their CiviID. I have one user called "new" who has a JoomlaID of 71 and a Civi Contact ID of 144.
There is a table called civicrm_uf_match that relates the two, and the field where the Joomla_ID is stored is called uf_id and the CiviID is called contact_id.
When the user does an insert, say on the table civicrm_phonecall, I need his CiviID to go into the source_contact_id field
Can someone please write me a simple explanation or point to a relevant tutorial or both?
BTW, this integration seems to be of great interest to the Joomla community.
Thanks,

Ken
