Extension talk:SMF Auth Integration

Is there a plan to update for 1.13? Or does anyone have solution for the error:

Notice: Undefined variable: result in ...wiki/includes/Title.php on line 1158

which occurs 5 times in a row when SMF_Auth is enabled?

Different SubDomains Integration
I have www.forum.maindomain.com SMF forum and www.wiki.maindomain.com MediaWiki what should i insert into $wgSMFPath =?

forum files stores in startfolder/subdomains/testforum/httpdocs/forum wiki files stores in startfolder/subdomains/wiki/httpdocs

when i write $wgSMFPath =../subdomains/testforum/httpdocs/forum wiki says that its wrong

If auth sharing is disabled, strange errors appear
I set the setting that users must relogin in the wiki, worked fine for admins but "normal" users wich are in the defined group can't login due to a strange error. I use the latest MediaWiki version (1.15.2).

Problems in 1.14
Note: I don't know yet if this is my fault or the software's. 
 * Using AutoAuthentication, logging in works fine, but on logging out, I'm being redirected to SMF which tells me
 * "An Error Has Occured: Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again. "
 * Logging out in the SMF works.

Anyone having the same problems, or, better yet, a solution?


 * I've the same problem in 1.14 and also in 1.15.1! Please help me!!! --151.50.5.139 21:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Solution
Change on the function UserLogoutSMF the line:

smf_redirectWrapper('logout_url', 'logout;sesc=' . $_SESSION['rand_code']);

To:

smf_redirectWrapper('logout_url', "logout;{$_SESSION['session_var']}={$_SESSION['session_value']}");

There is still the problem of the cookies, which must be deleted in order to skip autologin in the wiki.

Questions

 * If I comment out the part about, the whole extension seems to seize working. What is it meant to do in that case? I thought it would use the wiki login, but somehow hook into the SMF user table to see if there's a match (instead of using the wiki users), but this doesn't seem to be the case.
 * Using  or   doesn't seem to make a difference when not using  . When using it, only $wgHooks['UserLoadFromSession'][] works.

Problems in 1.12
Are you planning to update this for 1.12? Currently logging in and out doesnt function when $wgSMFLogin is enabled. The download link is broken.

Same Problem
get an Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /../../LocalSettings.php on line 153 where wgSMFLogin = true; is located

Problem still exists with version 1.13

Another bug
seems not work, it should be

like in Ver 1.12

Version 1.13.0 Hiccups
I was having some problems with the 1.13.0 beta in regards to this extension. I found out that the AutoAuthenticate hook doesn't exist anymore in 1.13+ and the suggestion is to use the UserLoadFromSession hook instead. I found that I was having login issues which may, or may not have been related. Now I'm not a serious coder but I did some tweaking of the Auth_SMF.php which are documented below and the issue seems to have been fixed though I am sure its couldn't have been as simple as that to fix.

Line 138: function AutoAuthenticateSMF(&$user) { Was changed into: function AutoAuthenticateSMF(&$user, &$result) {

Line 468: $wgHooks['AutoAuthenticate'][] = 'AutoAuthenticateSMF'; Was changed into: $wgHooks['UserLoadFromSession'][] = 'AutoAuthenticateSMF';

I would appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable would look the issue over and hopefully update the code. Cheers for the extension!

Works in 1.12
I just installed this extension to MediaWiki v1.12 and it is working great. Though I had a problem with logout. If I used the automatic wiki login/logout ($wgSMFLogin = true;), every browser just hanged when clicking the logout link (they kept requesting the same blank page over and over again). The problem was solved by modifying the Auth_SMF.php: Line 469: $wgHooks['UserLogout'][] = 'UserLogoutSMF'; Was changed into: $wgHooks['UserLogoutComplete'][] = 'UserLogoutSMF';

Underscore workaround suggestion
There are lots of characters besides underscore that are valid SMF usernames but invalid for the MediaWiki software. So, instead, why don't create a regexp that checks and removes these characters and, if at least one character has been removed, append the user's id, so we avoid any colission?

I will try to do it myself and put here the resulting code if anyone wants it.
