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
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');
Bugs with AuthMoodle in mediawiki 1.7
- preferences are no longer sticky (they pretend to save but don't really save)
- the moodle database prefix is different from the mediawiki database prefix must match (or be blank)
- 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)
