Is it possible to still allow local accounts while using this? The extension causes the wiki to automatically login with a GoogleApps account, but we have some third party individuals we'd still like to have access to our wiki without providing Google Apps accounts to.
Those accounts comes with "@domain.com", and when I try to change their user rights with the special pages, I was given the error of "cannot edit uesr rights of other wiki".
Soon I found in the manual pages that I need to have the "userrights-interwiki" for my bureaucrat group, so I added that in my LocalSettings. Then I was given another error of "Database mydomain.com does not exist or is not local."
Any help~? I suggest not storing the username with the domain - since with this extension we are allowed to use google apps of only one domain - so with "@domain.com" doesn't really make much difference.
What you say makes sense - I didn't know that MediaWiki accounts did interpret the @ sign somehow - anyway, it is easy to fix - just change the line that says " $username = $googleAccount['email']; ", with something like " $username = preg_replace('/@.*/', , $googleAccount['email']); " or something similar....
Yes you're right. That's what I did too! Many thanks! Highly appreciate the quick response from you.
I added the following to LocalSettings.php:
- Allow @ in username (# as delimiter for database instead of @)
$wgUserrightsInterwikiDelimiter = '#'
This changes the interwiki delimiter to a # instead of an @, allowing you to have @ in your username without trouble. I doubt anybody uses interwiki rights management except the Wikimedia Foundation itself; I really wish they just had interwiki disabled by default. Oh well.
I was having an issue where after logging in from the home page, mediawiki would bring you straight back to the login page with a username and password field.
So I modified this code:
// Return URL
$config['return_server'] = (isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) ? 'https://' : 'http://') .$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].":".$_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'];
$config['return_url'] = $config['return_server'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
to
// Return URL
$config['return_server'] = (isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) ? 'https://' : 'http://') .$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].":".$_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'];
if ($_REQUEST["title"] == $lg->specialPage("Userlogin")) {
$config['return_url'] = $config['return_server'].$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
}
else {
$config['return_url'] = $config['return_server'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}
This resolved my issue.
I got a blank page after installing this extension, and the subject contains what was in the log. I installed php-xml and that fixed it so I decided to put this here in case anyone else has this problem.
Sorry I don't know if it's the correct place to voice out questions - correct me if it's not.
I just did what you told me last night (29 Aug 2011). I was correctly redirected to the Google Apps login page, and also the subsequent "XXXXXXXX (my URL) wants to access the following information" (etc.). But then I was stopped at an error with only 1 line of output: "OpenID authentication failed: Nonce already used or out of range". Any clue on this?
Thanks! I love this great extension - simple, easy to use, just great.
One thing is that we found that the extension doesn't work too well on a Windows setup - for some reason it started to work with a linux box only... Maybe a lead for you !
Oh yeah problem solved.
1) I just noticed that the tmp folder that came with the OpenID library (as linked from the wiki page) was actually NOT empty. And so when I am setting the correct permissions to it, I need to recursively chmod-ing it. That is, " chmod -R 777 tmp " instead of " chmod 777 tmp ".
2) Once I have made the #1 change, I encountered another error of "undefined function: FileCache::singleton() on line 2726 of includes/GlobalFunctions.php", even when I used a new browser to browse the wiki. My mediawiki was an old one, 1.14 version. I didn't touch any configuration concerning FileCache (and it should default to "false" ?) The problem doesn't go away even I switch on or off FileCache in LocalSettings.php. My solution was to (dirtily) amend GlobalFunctions.php and comment out that if() block and use only the else block. (very dirty indeed!)
