[wiki-tech] WordPress/MediaWiki AuthPlugin

[Greg Elin]

Rob,

I solved problem by including the remaining $wgAuth lines. My first  
attempt only had the first three lines.

require_once( 'extensions/AuthPress.php' );
$wgAuth = new AuthPress();
$wgAuth->setAuthPressTablePrefix('wp_');


It worked if I included all the lines:

# Use bbPress Authentication
require_once( 'extensions/AuthPress.php' );
$wgAuth = new AuthPress();
$wgAuth->setAuthPressTablePrefix('wp_');
# Only include the following if you aren't using the same db as  
MediaWiki
$wgAuth->setAuthPressDBServer ('localhost');
$wgAuth->setAuthPressDBName('wordpress');
$wgAuth->setAuthPressUser('');
$wgAuth->setAuthPressPassword('


The correction in the database connection is only made if a different  
database is selected.
One solution is to have users always specify the full details, which  
is what I did, or refactor this function.
Preference?

     function &getAuthPressDB () {
         if( $this->mUseSeparateAuthPressDB ) {
             //print $this->mAuthPressDBServer;
             //print $this->mAuthPressUser;
             //print $this->mAuthPressPassword;
             //print $this->mAuthPressDBName;
             if(! is_object($this->mDBconn) ) {
                 $this->mAuthPressDBconn =
                     new Database($this->mAuthPressDBServer,
                                 $this->mAuthPressUser,
                                 $this->mAuthPressPassword,
                                 $this->mAuthPressDBName,
                                 false,
                                 0,
                                 $mAuthPressTablePrefix);
             }
             return $this->mAuthPressDBconn;
         }
         else {
             return wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
         }
     }
