Extension:SMF/Users Integration

This extension links MediaWiki to SMF's user table for authentication, and disallows the creation of new accounts in MediaWiki. Users must then log in to the wiki with their SMF account.

Extension
The extension requires PHP 4.2+, MySQL 4+, and MediaWiki 1.9.2 If you need help, log in at uber.leetphp.com and select 'Support' on the main menu.


 * 1) Download the extension (download, view source code).
 * 2) Add the code below to the bottom of LocalSettings.php.
 * 3) Make a new SMF group called "Wiki Editor". If you set   to 'true', only users in the 'Wiki Editor' group can edit MediaWiki.

// This requires a user be logged into the wiki to make changes. $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; // MediaWiki Setting

// Specify who may create new accounts: 0 means no, 1 means yes $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; // MediaWiki Setting

// SMF User Database Plugin. (Requires MySQL Database) require_once './extensions/Auth_SMF.php';

$wgSMF_WikiGroupName = 'Wiki Editor';          // Name of your SMF group // users need to be a member // of to use the wiki. (i.e. wiki)

$wgSMF_UseWikiGroup  = true;                   // This tells the Plugin to require // a user to be a member of the above // SMF group. (ie. wiki) Setting // this to false will let any SMF // user edit the wiki.

$wgSMF_UseExtDatabase = false;                 // This tells the plugin that the SMF tables // are in a different database than the wiki. // The default settings is false.

$wgSMF_Version = '1.0';                        // This is what version of SMF you are using. // Current valid values are 1.0 and 1.1

/*-[NOTE: You only need the next four settings if you set $wgSMF_UseExtDatabase to true.]-*/ // $wgSMF_MySQL_Host    = 'host';               // SMF MySQL Host Name. // $wgSMF_MySQL_Username = 'username';          // SMF MySQL Username. // $wgSMF_MySQL_Password = 'password';          // SMF MySQL Password. // $wgSMF_MySQL_Database = 'database_name';     // SMF MySQL Database Name.

$wgSMF_UserTB        = 'smf_members';        // Name of your SMF user table. (i.e. smf_members) $wgSMF_GroupsTB      = 'smf_membergroups';   // Name of your SMF groups table. (i.e. smf_membergroups) $wgAuth              = new Auth_SMF;       // Auth_SMF Plugin.
