Extension talk:PHPBB Auth

/Archive 1 - Up until 28th December 2007

I cleaned up the talk page for the new release. If you need help post on the forums @ http://uber.leetphp.com. --Nick 01:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Is the code for this extension mirrored anywhere? The original download site has gone down and the extension is no longer available. 68.223.244.238 21:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The site is up --Nick 08:27, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It is down again. May be it would be good to put this code to some place like Google Code, which is available >99% of time? --89.179.245.37 23:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I had it in google code, but the interface was lacking. When I checked the help/FAQ the answer to the problems I had was, "Sorry you can't do whatever. We are adding that later". So someday when Google Code gets better. Anyways my site is normally up. --Nick 23:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm hosting a small project on Google Code and found that interface actually have everything I need. It's interesting what you were lacking in it? And may be they've added this since then? :) --Ipse 04:38, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * One of the main issues I had was being able to change the featured file. So if I set Auth_2.3.zip I can not change it to Auth_2.4.zip --Nick 07:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

MediaWiki 1.6.x (aka PHP4 users)
For those of us restricted to PHP4 - phpBB3 works on PHP4 - is there any hope to be had in adapting this script to work with MediaWiki 1.6.x? (It is the last stable version to work on PHP4)?

Multiple wiki groups
We made some changes to allow multiple wiki groups:

Note: This code is based on version 2.6 of this mod.

To configure this you have to add multiple groups in your LocalSettings.php as well: Notice the quotes. It is important to write every group in single quotes. Star 17:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * NOTE: 3.0.3 now has support for multiple wiki groups. But please leave this code here for those who can not use 3.x line. --Nick 21:58, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Can we do reverse log in?
I know this used to be a feature, but can we still do it? Like, we log in through MediaWiki and it closes phpBB instead? Or does it do both? Thanks! --74.130.45.110 21:17, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I am not sure what you mean by "we log in through MediaWiki and it closes phpBB instead". --Nick 07:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't say that. O_o This is what I meant: "we log in through MediaWiki and it logs us into phpBB" What I'm saying is that, you can't log in through phpBB. You can log in through MediaWiki and it'll log you into phpBB with that account; your extension does the other away around. Is it possible to do it this way? --74.130.45.110 22:22, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I am also intrested in this method (if we have a account on mediawiki and we can login in the phpbb 3 and wordpress with same account). Actually I am using phpnuke for my main site and i include a plugin in media wiki so that i can login in mediawiki using the username and password of phpnuke. But i could not find such a plugin for phpbb3 and wordpress. So now i want that if i can connect the phpbb3 and wordpress to the phpnuke wia mediawiki it will be good (i think so). so is there any solution regarding this problam.

Ist this extension also working with mediawiki 1.9.3? 77.179.243.255 16:02, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for this extension! It saves us a lot of duplicate user accounts / passwords. :) --Pnagel 09:19, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Notice Errors
I followed the installation instructions but I'm getting some errors. I'm using mediawiki version 1.12.0 and phpbb 3.0.0 (soon to be upgraded to 3.0.1). These are the errors I'm getting:
