Re: Area51 MediaWiki Integration

I know this is an old topic, but I have created a new extension that handles Mediawiki 1.25+ and pretty much any version of phpBB 3.1 / 3.2.

Working well on phpBB 3.2.5 and MediaWiki 1.32!

Re: Area51 MediaWiki Integration

Thanks for the info MichaelC.

Still kind of interested to see how it was done, but if it isn't an ideal then the extension I linked to at the MediaWiki Wiki works fairly well.

Re: Area51 MediaWiki Integration

I know there isn't any phpBB specific code on the Area51 forums for the Mediawiki, but the MediaWiki itself probably looks at phpBB sessions and decides how to handle logins on MediaWiki. I'm mostly interested in the custom code / extension on the MediaWiki that was used.

Re: Area51 MediaWiki Integration

I guess I posted a little hastily. I was able to get the MediaWiki Single Sign on extension working for phpBB 3.1.3. It only required a few tweaks, and actually phpBB didn't change very much at all! I have updated the code located on the MediaWiki Wiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Phpbb...

Area51 MediaWiki Integration

I recently upgraded my phpBB install to version 3.1.3, and unfortunately my MediaWiki Single Sign on integration no longer works due to how phpBB changed the way its underlying system has changed. I have noticed that Area51's Mediawiki integration continues to work with the current version of phpBB....

Re: Deleting Topics is Hard..

SHS, Its funny that you post that now, that I see that on some of my forums. Only on forums that were created after doing a phpBBv2 conversion. Forums that were not modified since the convert didn't have the quick-mod tools at all. (all I saw was the default Moderator Control Panel near the top). So...

Deleting Topics is Hard..

There is no easy way to do it. When viewing a topic.. there is no quick delete, or quick move, or quick lock. The only way I know to actually delete a topic is to go to the forum, and hit moderator control panel, then find the topic and click delete. It is the same for moving a topic. Locking a post...

Re: Display Start Date of Post on Mouse Over?

Cool!

Although I can't see the point to that feature at all.
