[edit] What can this extension do?
It creates a special page that cleans up SpecialUserLogin from signup related stuff, adds an API for signup, adds sourcetracking for account creation & AJAX-ifies the signup form.
[edit] Installation
To install this extension, copy the entire SignupAPI directory to your extensions directory
Add the following to LocalSettings.php:
Note: $IP stands for the root directory of your MediaWiki installation, the same directory that holds LocalSettings.php.
require_once("$IP/extensions/SignupAPI/SignupAPI.php"); $wgUseAjax = true; $wgSignupAPIUseAjax = true; $wgSignupAPISourceCreation = true; $wgUseCombinedLoginLink = false;
Finally, take a backup of your existing database & run update.php to create the sourcetracking table.
[edit] Configuration parameters
$wgUseAjax This paramater is required to use AJAX & is set to true by default in MediaWiki 1.17 & above
$wgSignupAPIUseAjax If set to true, the extension will AJAX-ify the signup form & facilitate the validation of username, password, retype & email dynamically before submitting the form
$wgSignupAPISourceCreation If set to true, the extension will add the source tracking paramaters to the 'Create account' link & on successful signup will store them inside the sourcetracking table
$wgUseCombinedLoginLink This parameter is used to display separate links for Login & Create account instead of the combined 'Login/Create account' link.
