Hi Mike.,
You can create your own plugin ..I am not so thorough with the authentication concept . but this might help you.
1.create a folder name "login" in moodle/auth and save the below code as "auth.php" (check whether DB is connected properly)
2.Then , you can see this plugin in authentication->manage Authentication.
3.Enable this plugin (plugin will not have proper name) you can change it by using this forum (simple steps => http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Authentication_plugins )
4.Now you can login into moodle by your external site ..
I hope this will work correctly..
require_once($CFG->libdir.'/authlib.php');
class auth_plugin_login extends auth_plugin_base
{
function auth_plugin_login()
{
$this->authtype('login');
}
function loginpage_hook()
{
$username = isset($_GET['username']) ? $_GET['username'] : "dummy";
$password = isset($_GET['password']) ? $_GET['password'] : "dummy";
//if you need to authenticate with username and password do this....
// Please use the standard databse connection in moodle(this is just a sample)
$res = mysqli_query($con ,"select * from mdl_user where username = $username and password = ".md5($password));
$id = "none" while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($res))
$id = $row['id'];
if($id == "none")
return ; //If no such user is found.... Redrecting to moodle login page
$user = get_complete_user_data('id',$id, $CFG->mnet_localhost_id);
complete_user_login($user);
redirect( $CFG->wwwroot.'/');
return;
}
}
All the Best ![smile]( "smile")
