Extension talk:IPBAuth

Cleared this since all issues were addressed with version 1.3

MW 1.16 support?
I just wanted to check before i install! :) Does this work with Mediawiki 1.16?  Thanks so much!

MZXGiant: Yes, it should be fine with 1.16. It's a fairly basic module, so it should work until they change the external authentication API. :) Glad you like it!

Looks good!

 * I'm testing this one on my 'test site'.. However, whenever I try logging in with my Test Forum Account Name & Password, it says that it isn't registered...

How will I actually link IPB and MediaWiki? Should since my IPB is on board.latestmoviesonline.net and my wiki is on wiki.latestmoviesonline.net. How will it be connected to the IPB Database or is it automatically? This is what I get "Login error There is no user by the name "test1". Check your spelling."

Also, I created a new file for this one AuthPlugin_IPB.php and added it to extensions/AuthPlugin_IPB.php. Not sure why it isn't working.. It would be great if I can get some help. :) Thanks 08:19, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

MZXGiant: Make sure you read the instructions about adding the include to your LocalSettings. Also, double check to make sure the database server and whatnot are correct. These details should match the connection details from IPB. In a later version I plan on trying to make an installer with this to aid any confusion, but for now it's a manual process.


 * Sorry, I'm new to this, but what do you mean instructions? This is what I followed Extension:IPBAuth: I opened my LocalSettings.php on the main folder, then added the code on the end of the file. Then, I opened my notepad and copy+paste the AuthPlugin_IPB.php then added it to this directory: extensions/AuthPlugin_IPB.php. I'm not really sure what are the other instructions I need to follow? Could you please tell me? I'm really glad that you are trying to do this project. What do you mean, on the database server? Where can I find that how would I know it isn't matching up - where would I know its matching up with the IPB? 12:02, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, more power, MZXGiant! If we could also have a 1on1 chat if you have a spare time, that would be greatful, since this will be really useful for my site.

MZXGiant: If you want to send me an e-mail at mzxgiant at gmail dot com, we can arrange a chat as appropriate. (p.s. the section I was talking about starts with "* set your settings here" if you want to search for it)

[I'm using IPB 3.1.2 & the latest of MediaWiki]

Is it working with IPB 3.1.x
Hello is it working with the latest version of IPB? could You help me with setup

MZXGiant: It does work with IPB 3.x, and as far as I know, the latest version is no exception. The setup instructions are in the comments of the file itself. If you have any specific problems, please post them here.

Headers Already Sent
I upgraded this extension on my site, and now, my members are getting an error message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/public_html/wiki/extensions/AuthPlugin_IPB.php:504) in /home/public_html/wiki/includes/WebResponse.php on line 16

Any advice?

MZXGiant: This is most likely due to a bad copy. Make sure you have all the code on the page as written. Usually you can get a hint by doing View Source, and generally you'll see the PHP error clearly.

Yep. Thanks. That seems to have cleared it up.

(BTW...I'm using the extension on my board's wiki site here: http://www.indeath.net/wikiindeath/)
