AuthMoodle

AuthMoodle.php

• an extension of mediawiki's AuthPlugin class so that moodle users can sign in to a mediawiki with the same login/pw
• used in this https://docs.moodle.org mediawiki production site
• download from http://moodle.org/file.php/5/moddata/forum/366/196104/AuthMoodle.php
• first posted by Martin Dougiamas in april 2006 in http://moodle.org/mod/forum/post.php?reply=196104 as an attachment
• for mediawiki 1.7, I had to change line 33 to includes/AuthPlugin.php and comment out line 223-226 (refers to a non-existent function)

quoting Martin's instructions based on the root folder of the wikimedia installation:

Save it in extensions/AuthMoodle.php.
Then you just put this in LocalSettings.php:

require_once( 'extensions/AuthMoodle.php' );
$wgAuth = new AuthMoodle();
$wgAuth->setAuthMoodleTablePrefix();
$wgAuth->setAuthMoodleDBServer('yoursite.org');
$wgAuth->setAuthMoodleDBName('yourdb');
$wgAuth->setAuthMoodleUser('yourdbuser');
$wgAuth->setAuthMoodlePassword('yourdbpass');
