workflow integration with media wiki / FlaggedRevs installation on Media Wiki

I tried hard to install / configure Flagged Revs on Mediawiki I got different errors such as :

After gave the current user (bureaucratic) to Reviewer suddenly the whole wiki stops working

Then I start with fresh installation of media wiki and did it again, sometime it happens unknowingly we configure some wrong option, and they guy like me got into trouble :). 

Anyhow when I investigate it further the php_error log file, following error was found.

Call to undefined method ObjectCache::getMainStashInstance() in C:\wamp\www\newwiki\extensions\FlaggedRevs\backend\FRUserActivity.php on line 56

With the help of  Krenair, figure it out that I've incompatible version of FlaggedRev and MediaWiki, so I download the mediawiki-1.26.2 with FlaggedRevs-REL1_26-56a565c. 

The problem solve!!

Root Cause:

Actually, as error states that getMainStashInstance is not available, so when I checked in media wiki 1.24 the function implementation was not available and Krenair helped me to figure it out in which version it will be available, lets cut it short, use the latest version of both Flagged and Mediawiki to avoid such issues.

Media WIki LDAP configuration

Step1:

First download the LDAP extension from MediaWikiExtension and follow the instructions given on the same page.

Step2.

For running the command “ php maintenance/update.php” it’s a little trick, because sometime it happens that PHP is not configured in path variable to run on command prompt, so for this follow this article.

Step3

Configure the LDAP settings in your localsettings.php, that’s a little hack, first follow the instructions mentioned in this article, actually this is the same author's blog which wrote the plugin, so it’s very informative.

Step4

If you got the error of “Unable to start TLS: Server is unavailable” then use the following code:

$wgLDAPEncryptionType = array("group"=>"clear"); 

Where “group” will be replaced by the same string used in the ldap settings in localsettings.php file. Usually it’s a domain name in LDAP string for instance:

group.root.gp

Step 5

Enjoy the LDAP login!!!
