To make it work:
- Download the source from github
- Create a folder inside dokuwiki/lib/plugins called authjoomla3
- Paste the downloaded source inside authjoomla3
- Navigate to your doku wiki config page (doku.php?id=start&do=admin&page=config)
- The first thing to do is to go to the Authentication page and change
Authentication backend
with authjoomla3. Do not save yet. - Scroll down to the last row and you should see
Absolute path to a Joomla 3 installation
there you have to specify a valid Joomla 3 installation path - Save and everything should work.
Now a few notes:
- Since we're using joomla users and group, I left the management to joomla itself, so you cannot add/delete/update users or groups from dokuwiki but instead you want to do it from joomla.
- Joomla's
Super Users
andAdministrator
group are locally renamed (means it happens only on dokuwiki) toadmin
in order to make them administrator on DokuWiki without any other change.
