DokuWiki Auto-Login Plugin

This plugin allows you to log into Joomla and also automatically be logged into DocuWiki. It requires that the DokuWiki Joomla authentication module is installed and properly configured in DokuWiki. Don't forget to configure the DukuWiki Directory Path in the plugin before enabling. Once you have the plugin working, you might want to remove the login option from your DokuWiki main.php template to avoid login/logout confusion, as Joomla should be used for login and logout once you are successfully configured.

This plugin does exactly what it says: when you log into your Joomla account, it creates a cookie for Dokuwiki so you are automatically logged in to both packages. There is only one parameter: the path to your Dokuwiki directory path. Unfortunately I had a problem setting this parameter. The default value is a relative path but I had to use an absolution path from my web server root. It took a while to figure this out but afterwards, the plugin has worked perfectly.

The documentation is very skimpy and didn't help me to understand what to try for the parameter setting. A brief email exchange with the author was very prompt but not helpful, so I downgraded one star in this review. I'd give it 4.75 stars if I could. The plugin itself is a little gem.
