Extension:DrupalIntegration

What can this extension do?
Have you ever wanted to have forum, blogs, calendar of events, comments in threaded discussions, and other things together with your MediaWiki application. If yes, then one possible solution is to use existing CMS instead of integrating many applications/extensions.

This extension allows to use Drupal with MediaWiki. It synchronizes users, groups and user-to-groups assignments from MediaWiki to users, roles and user-to-role assignments of Drupal. User accesses MediaWiki and Drupal with the same original account of MediaWiki. User logs in through MediaWiki and becomes automatically logged in to Drupal. Users logs out from MediaWiki and becomes logged out from Drupal too.

It was designed to be used in the case of operated MediaWiki site with new installation of Drupal.

How it works

 * Upon installation users, groups and user-to-group assignments are copied from MediaWiki to Drupal in the batch routine. Users in Drupal are replaced by users from MediaWiki.
 * In operation changes to user-to-group assignments are propagated to user-to-role assignments in Drupal
 * When user logs in MediaWiki, token is stored to cookie as user checked Remember my login on this computer. Drupal authenticates the user with this token against token stored in MediaWiki database, when user tries to access Drupal's pages.
 * User is logged in Drupal if tokens match. If they do not match, then
 * user is redirected to MediaWiki login page if anonymous browsing of Drupal's pages is prohibited
 * user accesses Drupal as anonymous user if anonymous browsing of Drupal's pages is allowed
