Title: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: SleePy on December 05, 2011, 11:40:48 PM
Simple Machines is proud to announce that we are releasing the integration used for the Simple Machines Wiki (http://wiki.simplemachines.org).  This integration has been adapted from the original by Ryan Wagoner (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SMF_Auth_Integration).  Ryan's original work specified no license;  however he has been kind enough to give us permission to redistribute his work.  We have released this work under the BSD 3 clause license (http://www.simplemachines.org/about/smf/license.php) in hopes others may continue to improve this integration.

Our reasons for modification were quite simple.  First and most importantly, we wanted to reduce the required resources to make the integration compatible with a large, active forum. Secondly we attempted to improve the user integration to ensure protection of the accounts.

By protecting the account, we hope to avoid duplicate names by ensuring that they are not possible. As well we hope to be able to match wiki names to SMF user accounts using their account id from our SMF community forum.

The most important part was ensuring that the authentication would not demand too many resources.  We have improved the authentication to cache queries that the auth uses to communicate with SMF.  So far this has proved successful and kept our servers happy.

In addition, we have have improved the ability of the integration to add users to groups based on their access on SMF.  This has allowed users such as our translators to be automatically added to the appropriate translators group,  which greatly reduces work loads and reduces human error.

By releasing this authentication file, we hope to encourage others to use and improve our work and give back to the community.  We have chosen github because it makes it simple to allow anyone to fork the work, develop their own improvements and features, and submit pull requests for their changes.

The README file tells you where to put the files, and which settings to use.
Just follow the instructions, and you'll be bridging your SMF and wikimedia immediately.

Nice!

Questions and Issues:

1. Does it work with SMF 1.1.x? I couldn't find any indication on this.

2. I doubt this bridge will be able to work with MW 1.18, since they've changed the hook $user->setupSession(); to wfSetupSession();. Maybe you'll want tho change this piece of code:
// Go ahead and log 'em in
$user->setupSession();
$user->setCookies();


3. Does this bridge accepts "strange characters" like á à § ç ã on the username? (the last bridge didn't accept them)

It doesn't work with 1.1 AFAIK and we won't be making it work with it.

Thanks for the advice.

Nope.

It does not, I removed all support for SMF 1.1 in the code.  You are welcome to fork it and provide backwards capabilities though.  SMF 2.0 is the stable line while 1.1 is the obsolete.  We are still patching SMF 1.1 for security issues, but otherwise 2.0 is the main stable branch.

Ok, I opened up an issue report on it.  When I get time, I will look into this: https://github.com/SimpleMachines/smf-mw-auth/issues/1
I think thats one of my notes I had wrote down though for upgrading our wiki to the new release.

If MW supports it, the bridge should.  My memory from the time of setting up the wiki here, says that by default MediaWiki is using latin1 tables and not utf8.  So to support them you should just have to convert the wiki to utf8.

Post by: Paracelsus on December 08, 2011, 01:11:13 PM
I don't think it's as simple as "just converting the wiki to utf8", since my wiki is 100% utf8 and it sitll doesn't accept those characters in the username (though I'm using the "old" bridge, so I don't know if it's a bridge or MW thing).

It's a pity that the bridge doesn't work for 1.1.x but I understand your point.

There shouldn't be to much work in getting to work on the older version.  Mostly if not all should be just changing the database fields to match SMF 1.1 fields.  I think all the other code should support 1.1 just fine.

I haven't heard any complaints from our international users about this.  However SMF I know makes sure to set the character settings when it first starts up.  So if it isn't working, its most likely because the connection to the SMF database is using latin and needs the query to tell it to read as utf8.  Something such as:

SET NAMES utf8


Would need to be ran after the connection to the SMF database is made.  I am not 100% sure though, my expertise in character sets is not the best :D

This might seem a stupid question to you but... how do you change the database fields to match SMF 1.1? I mean, in a pratical way, since I don't know which ones were changed from 1.1 to 2.0 (do you guys happen to have any tool for this?).
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: Paracelsus on December 09, 2011, 04:00:10 AM
Nevermind Sleepy, I suceeded with your tip about the "set names" to uft8 in the 1.1 compatible SMF_Auth. ;D

I used an example of a Wordpress + Mediawiki bridge where they used this:
mysql_query("SET NAMES utf8");
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER_SET utf8");


and it worked quite ok when placing it after the query that does the connection to SMF.

Problem solved, many thanks! ;)

Since the function requests a reference as the argument, it shouldnt even be necessary to have the $user object passed by reference right from the function call.

I've set up the LocalSettings.php per the instructions, removed the '&' from line 265 which fixed compatibility with my PHP 5.3.8, and the Wiki loads fine, however, I can't log in.  It redirects to an SMF login page, but I never get logged in.  I'm always a guest. 

I'm using MediaWiki 1.18.1 and SMF 2.0.2.

I'd like to contribute by expanding the README to include extra information that, for those like me far from being experts, may become useful. I am now figthing to make it work, and I can see I am not the only one, with no specific "central repository" for troubleshooting. Also there are a couple of mispellings. A FAQ section can be added to the bottom, or as a separate file.

I have submitted a pull request, hope you find it useful.
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: SleePy on February 05, 2012, 01:28:38 PM
nyall,

I've looked and commented on your pull request.  I am sure most of it is confusion over the setup.  I am not the best one to write instructions on things and most of that was the original authors instructions.  Although the define does cause problems if the instructions where not read.

I am concerned about the first change suggested for problems though, that isn't the point of that code.  Something else is failing along the lines which is causing smf_member_id to not be retained in the wiki user options.  The code doesn't have the ability currently to correct bad smf_member_ids on accounts that exist.  Which may be why that coded failed if the SMF username was also Administrator and this is now conflicting with the wikis one.


It may be better to push off any long information into the readme and leave a big note at the top of the auth file to read the readme.


Thanks for the pull request though, I've been really busy lately with real life and haven't had any time to dig into the problems.

Nothing to worry, you're doing great work and we all know how life works  ;)  It's me who should thank you   :laugh:

Saw your replies, many thanks for your comments and corrections. Feel free to modify my suggested "patch", or even completely discard it. It serves for me, and I'd be happy if someone else can benefit from it. I can do the modifications based on your comments by myself and re-submit, if you prefer.

I have a separate issue for support with the workaround that I have implemented for the authentication issue. I have no idea why this may be happening, but again I'd be more than happy to be of any assistance to identify why this happens. My original thread can be found here:  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=467594.0 

Now the bridge is working, but based on your comments I don't realize the implications of the workaround I have implemented. I'd be much obligued if you can give me a little explanation on that, either via PM, the support thread or here.

There has been discussion at the github issue tracker page about some problems people have been having.
I've heard reports but haven't confirmed that it doesn't work with MW 1.18 (and thus most likely 1.19).
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: planet9 on April 01, 2012, 02:16:10 PM
My integration issue was a cookie problem.  The only problem I have now is that doing a wiki->login sends me to the forum after login and not back to the wiki.

As for the cookie issue there was nothing pointing me to this problem.  I didn't uncover it until I started outputting the cookie info.

Below is the cookie I was seeing:
a:3:{i:0;i:0;i:1;s:0:"";i:2;i:0;}

Auth_SMF.php unserializes it and there were no values in the variables id_member and password.

In order get a cookie like this:
a:4:{i:0;s:1:"1";i:1;s:40:"17f9832ca37464dc5ce25cffc408fefa1bfef908";i:2;i:1522519197;i:3;i:2;}

I had to turn off "Enable local storage of cookies".

These are my settings which work and integration works fine now:

Post by: SleePy on April 01, 2012, 03:28:55 PM
As the note below that setting says, it doesn't work well with SSI.  What that setting does is fill out the path (ie /forum/) in the cookie so only that path can access the cookie.  By unchecking it, the cookie sets the path as /, which allows anything in that domain to work.  If you have subdomains you need to check the subdomains one.  That sets the wildcard (*) in the cookie for that domain.

I've updated the Auth file just now.  This one appears to work properly with MediaWiki 1.18


I'v also added your issue to the readmes FAQ section.  Hopefully that helps others in the future :)
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: planet9 on April 01, 2012, 03:40:43 PM
I have only 2 remaining issues.  The most important is limiting the MW edit capability to only the SMF Admin group and a new "Wiki Editor" group; the SpecialGroups settings seem to have no effect.

The other issue is that from MW the logout link has no effect; the user stays logged in.

Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: SleePy on April 01, 2012, 04:24:38 PM
The special groups is what you want to assign people to the Wiki Editor group.  In SMF you create that group,  Get that group ID (ie its in the url when you are editing the group).
If you don't want these editors to be apart of a default MediaWiki group, you will need to create that group in MediaWiki.  FYI you are looking to use $wgRestrictionLevels and $wgGroupPermissions.  You can search for more on creating groups In Media Wiki for how to setup that group.

In the Config you use SMFs group ID and The MediaWiki Group Name.

$wgSMFSpecialGroups = array(
   // SMF Group ID => Wiki group name.
   5 => 'autoconfirmed',
);

From this, group ID 5 is the Jr Member group on SMF by default.  Then you have the autoconfirmed group on MediaWiki.  So users in group 5 on SMF automatically would be put into that group.

Denying access like that you would want to use the $wgSMFGroupID array.  Add those SMF group IDs to that array.  IE in the example code it is using SMF group ID 2, which is global moderators.

FYI, note that this Auth module does cache a lot of stuff to keep it from using too many resources every time to auth the user.  So it may require some time for the auth to update with the new group permissions.

For your logout issue, as long as your are logged into SMF, you can't log out of the wiki.  The auth will auto log you in again.  If there is a way to change the logout link or override it I haven't looked.  I don't see session information being passed to the link.  I wouldn't know if it could be trusted to not cause a CSRF problem.  So I wouldn't even want to think of it if its not going to prevent that.


Edit,

Also forgot to say that you need this line as well to deny all users editing by default:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; // MediaWiki Setting
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: planet9 on April 02, 2012, 08:05:42 AM
Thanks SleePy. 

I'm confused and maybe there are multiple versions of the LocalSettings comments.  Mine say that $wgSMFGroupID   is for granting access and $wgSMFDenyGroupID is for denying.  And $wgSMFAdminGroupID is for admins.

So I'm confused on what $wgSMFGroupID really does.  Thanks.

----
I also have another version which includes the items below and I assume these are deprecated?


// This tells the Plugin to require a user to be a member of the above SMF group. (ie. wiki) Setting this to false will let any SMF user edit the wiki.
#$wgSMF_UseWikiGroup = true;

// Name of your SMF group users need to be a member of to use the wiki. (i.e. wiki)
#$wgSMF_WikiGroupName  = 'Wiki Editor';


---
I've had to modify Auth_SMF.php to not check "isLoggedIn()" when using $wgSMFDenyGroupID


// Lastly check to see if they are not banned and allowed to login
if (!$wgAuth->isNotBanned($ID_MEMBER) || !$wgAuth->canLogin())
{
#if($user->isLoggedIn()) // COMMENTED OUT THIS LINE
$user->logout();
return true;
}


Otherwise the error I see is:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/public_html/wiki/includes/User.php on line 2295

Warning: array_unique() [function.array-unique]: The argument should be an array in /home/public_html/wiki/includes/User.php on line 2295

First off: Thank you a lot for this most awesome extension!

I experienced a really nasty bug using it, that I just had to post here.
I had a fresh install of MW and installed the extension + configured it. I enabled the cookie system and made some group assignments, nothing fancy. The first try went good, I was logged into MW.
But from this point, I always got this error and cookie login didn't work anymore:
Notice: Array to string conversion in [...]/extensions/Auth_SMF.php on line 162
Line 162 is:
Code (php) Select
$user_settings['smf_groups'] = array_merge(array($user_settings['id_group'], $user_settings['id_post_group']), explode(',', $user_settings['additional_groups']));

So I made some debug outputs and finally found out that $user_settings contained a string instead of an array, the same string that was serialized into $_SESSION['user_settings']. After some more debug outputs, I found that $user_settings contained a string after this statement in line 140 was executed:
Code (php) Select
$_SESSION['user_settings'] = serialize($user_settings);
After blaming serialize and trying other crazy stuff, I found out that renaming $user_settings to $usr_settings fixed the error and logging in worked perfectly! WTF?
I am not familiar with PHP, so I don't know if this is possible, but could this error originate in the name equality of $user_settings and $_SESSION['user_settings']? Maybe someone of you can tell me why this happened.


Regards

PS: I am using PHP 5.2.17, MySQL 5.5.19 and an Apache 2.2.22 on CentOS release 6.2 (Final).

I've had to modify Auth_SMF.php to not check "isLoggedIn()" when using $wgSMFDenyGroupID


// Lastly check to see if they are not banned and allowed to login
if (!$wgAuth->isNotBanned($ID_MEMBER) || !$wgAuth->canLogin())
{
#if($user->isLoggedIn()) // COMMENTED OUT THIS LINE
$user->logout();
return true;
}


Otherwise the error I see is:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/public_html/wiki/includes/User.php on line 2295

Warning: array_unique() [function.array-unique]: The argument should be an array in /home/public_html/wiki/includes/User.php on line 2295

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/public_html/wiki/includes/User.php on line 3475

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/public_html/wiki/includes/User.php on line 3484
MediaWiki internal error.

Exact same error here on the same lines and all (also had a stack trace that he did not display), but his fix fixed my issue.  What is the problem that this is caused by?

However, I have a few new bugs.

First bug is that when clicking Log In from the wiki takes me to the forum page, as expected, but when logging in I end up at the main page of the forum instead of back at the last page that I was at in the wiki.

Second bug is that when clicking Log out from the wiki logs me out of the wiki, some how, but without logging me out of the forum, and I cannot get the wiki to see me logged in again until I clear my cookies.

My SMF version is 2.0.2 with the latest integration code as of an hour ago.

New error now, and this was working last night, no changes since then.  Anytime anyone tries to post anything to the wiki, whether Admin or normal editor, when they hit submit in the edit box they get a "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still does not work, try logging out and logging back in. " error, and yet it was just working last night.  Thoughts?  Googled around for the error but they all point to php session errors, which is not an issue, I tested quite a variety of different settings, full rw access is allowed, tried other directories, etc...

That's normal, especially if your wiki has it's own subdomain. If anything, click publish again and it should work.

This happened to me when I first started with my wiki a year ago. Try playing around with the localsettings file, and most times it's just a browsing cache issue that wouldn't normally happen if the website was being used by only one person at one computer. You're probably logging in with different users trying to see how it looks and you're running into these caching issues.
Just my 2 cents.

Nope, this was happening to multiple people in various locations of the world.  It stopped just as suddenly on its own though about 8 hours later, unsure, nothing else on the server went down (of which there is quite a bit).

Still have the login misredirection and logout ghost bugs though.

Post by: Nutbolt on February 06, 2013, 07:11:54 PM
I have got this running and I have it setup so that there's a SMF group named Mentors, and a wiki group named Editor. If they are added to the SMF Mentors group, they are then added to the wiki Editor group. However if I remove them from the SMF group, they are not being removed from the wiki group. I have given it plenty of time (hours) for any kind of caching to go, and no luck.

Any ideas why people aren't being removed from the groups on wiki? Thanks

Yup, using the latest version of MW and SMF.
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: Attoy on February 11, 2013, 07:24:49 PM
I just installed SMF 2.0.4 and Mediawiki 1.20.2. I downloaded the bridge extension from github and edited LocalSetting.php as writted in the readme file. If I'm logged in SMF and I follow a link to the Wiki (I added a button between 'Home' and 'Help) it shows I'm not logged in the Wiki and if I click 'Log In' it redirect me on the SMF login page. I log again on the forum, I get the forum homepage and if I go on the wiki I'm still not logged in.

Any suggestion on how to fix it pls?

FYI I've got SMF in forums.domain.com and the Wiki in wiki.domain.com .

Thanks in advance for your help.

Bst rgds,
Attoy

Do you already have any user in the MediaWiki database?
I just tried and I was having problems because a previous user with the same name of my SMF account was already present in the MW database.
I truncated the MW user table, but of course be careful because mine was just a test site and didn't care about what was in the db.

Indeed that's one of a problem :) You're awesome. May I guess you're also italian?

However every time a new user bridge from SMF to MediaWiki I've got a notice:

Notice: undefined index: smf_member_id in /my/full/path/to/mediawiki/extensions/Auth_SMF.php on line 1024

that said line is the last one of the following block:

// Preserve our member id.
if (empty($saveOptions['smf_member_id']))
$saveOptions['smf_member_id'] = $user->mOptionOverrides['smf_member_id'];

Yups...I forgot about that one while posting (it was almost lunch time O:))...that's funny I can't reproduce it anymore...
Anyway the complain is apparently legit because the column (and so the settings) has been deprecated in MW 1.19, I suppose the bridge *should* use the external_user table, but at the moment I'm not sure how to achieve that...
You can just comment out the following line in Auth_SMF.php:
$wgHooks['UserSaveOptions'][] = 'wfProfileSMFID';
To be completely honest I have no idea if this has other consequences... :-[

I *think* two things are not that difficult to fix:

Code (replace with) Select
public function modifyUITemplate( &$template, &$type )
and:
Code (find) Select
public function initUser( $user, $autocreate = false)
Code (replace with) Select
public function initUser( &$user, $autocreate = false)
you can start with that and see if it at least remove those two errors.

Posted this issue on a separate thread, but thought I'd try my luck here

I setup the Wiki and swear I followed the instructions for the bridge to a "t" and I keep 500'ing. Turned on error debugging on my server and appears this is the issue:

PHP Strict Standards:  Declaration of Auth_SMF::modifyUITemplate() should be compatible with AuthPlugin::modifyUITemplate(&$template, &$type) in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wiki\extensions\Auth_SMF.php on line 410

Hello, I followed these instructions to the letter after installing the latest MediaWiki (I also have SMF 2.0.4) on the same domain as SMF and it just does not work. When you attempt to log in using your forum credentials it says "username cannot be found".  Now this is the third one I've tried and all of them have the same problem - it just does not recognise your forum username/password.

Notice: Undefined index: smf_member_id in /path_to_wiki/extensions/Auth_SMF.php on line 1024

Comes up when a user first logs in or is created.  Apparently, it's not reading the groups either; as they are not getting the proper permissions.  Any thoughts?

Food for Thought, my settings config:
# This requires a user be logged into the wiki to make changes.
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; // MediaWiki Setting

# If you experience the issue where you appear to be logged in
# eventhough you are logged out then disable the page cache.

# SMF Authentication
# To get started you only need to configure wgSMFPath.
# The rest of the settings are optional for advanced features.
# Relative path to the forum directory from the wiki
# Do not put a trailing /
# Example: /public_html/forum and /public_html/wiki -> ../forum
$wgSMFPath = "../smf";

# Use SMF's login system to automatically log you in/out of the wiki
# This works best if you are using SMF database sessions (default).
# Make sure "Use database driven sessions" is checked in the
# SMF Admin -> Server Settings -> Feature Configuration section
# NOTE: Make sure to configure the $wgCookieDomain below
$wgSMFLogin = true;
$wgCookieDomain = 'mycookiedomain.com';

# Members in these SMF groups will not be allowed to sign into wiki.
# This is useful for denying access to wiki and a easy anti-spam
# method.  The group ID, which can be found in the url (;group=XXX)
# when viewing the group from the administrator control panel.
$wgSMFDenyGroupID = array(80, 22, 67);

# Grant members of this SMF group(s) access to the wiki
# NOTE: The wgSMFDenyGroupID group supersedes this.
$wgSMFGroupID = array(87);

# Grant members of this SMF group(s) wiki sysop privileges
# NOTE: These members must be able to login to the wiki
$wgSMFAdminGroupID = array(1, 85);

# SMF to wiki group translation.  This allows us to assign wiki groups
# to those in certain SMF groups.
$wgSMFSpecialGroups = array(
  // SMF Group ID => Wiki group name,
1 => 'bureaucrat'
);

# THIS MUST BE ADDED.  This prevents direct access to the Auth file.

This one: https://github.com/SimpleMachines/smf-mw-auth. I tried another one but it was apparently riddled with bugs. Apparently it's not grabbing the cookies despite cookies being activated. It's been tested in Firefox, IE and Chrome.

Just to be clear as well, I'm the forum/wiki owner but the person who was trying to implement this is a professional web developer.

No and yes and not entirely sure, in that order (I'll ask the guy that's helping me, later) :)

Forget the tweaks for the moment, should independent cookies be turned on?

Oddly enough; none of my permissions are transferring over.  They are getting authenticated; but even sysop isn't being given (with the native change in the LocalSettings.php).

Any thoughts?

So, most likely you didn't initialize $wgSMFAdminGroupID in localSettings.php

ETA: groups are updated every 900 seconds (15 minutes), so if you visited a wiki page and then changed something (e.g. member group of the user), you will not see anything for some time.

You were right, that was the issue.  My final problem then is, I've created a custom group in the wiki called 'Editor'. 
$wgSMFSpecialGroups = array(
  // SMF Group ID => Wiki group name,
   1 => 'bureaucrat',
   85 => 'sysop',
   86 => 'Editor',
);

When users sign in and are in the 'Editor' group on the forums; they show up as 'editor' without a link (aka no group) on the wiki.  Is my syntax proper?
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released

Is "Editor" or "editor" the MW group name? (not sure if it is important)
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: donkenoji on March 29, 2013, 01:34:35 PM
Integration:
$wgSMFSpecialGroups = array(
  // SMF Group ID => Wiki group name,
1 => 'bureaucrat',
85 => 'sysop',
86 => 'Editor',
);


Perms:
# Editors #
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['edit'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['import']           = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['importupload']     = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['move']             = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['move-subpages']    = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['move-rootuserpages'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['protect']          = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['upload']           = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['reupload']         = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['reupload-shared']  = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['upload_by_url']    = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['browsearchive']    = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['noratelimit']      = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['Editor']['movefile']         = true;


Case is matching.

Update: now editor isn't showing at all; like that group can't be seen.  sysop and Admin are both porting fine however.
Update 2: Now it is showing, just not as a link.

Okay, I've realized that I can force the permission update by having the users update their preferences.  Is the update for all users not working automatically?
// $wgHooks['UserSaveOptions'][] = 'wfProfileSMFID';


I'm not sure it's related, but for some reason, the only way I can get perms on users is to have them update their preferences on their individual account.

I *think* two things are not that difficult to fix:
Code (find) Select
public function modifyUITemplate(&$template)
Code (replace with) Select
public function modifyUITemplate( &$template, &$type )
and:
Code (find) Select
public function initUser( $user, $autocreate = false)
Code (replace with) Select
public function initUser( &$user, $autocreate = false)
you can start with that and see if it at least remove those two errors.

This appeared to fix the problem I was having on mediawiki 1.16 and SMF 1.1.18.

Thanks :D

By the way, was the issue with the underscore ever fixed?

I had a member name: member__ (with two underscores)... and when they tried to edit something, mediawiki went crazy lol

In addition, if a member has the name: member_name, their name shows: member name.

The whole underscore-to-space thing is how MediaWiki works with everything since spaces don't work properly in URLs but underscores do - and everything in MediaWiki revolves around that.

A few users are reporting this error and are being told they must login.  They have active sessions with the SMF boards; however, still can't login.  The extension is creating accounts and they're being listed on the userlist.  Any thoughts on this one?

Negative, I'm one of the individuals effected today and it's a simple name (no non alpha characters and no spaces).  It appears to be limited to those with Admin rights (though don't quote me on that).

I would suggest to use the latest and if you encounter any issue, you report it.
It has worked from WM 1.16 up to 1.20.3 with just a couple of minor tweaks (that BTW are not yet included in the "official" distribution, so you have to dig the topic to find them ;)), so I'm confident it will work with 1.20.4 with the same tweaks described in this topic.

All of that is new for me,  I have been all the afternoon trying to make it, but  I did not.

I have in SMF some groups, but I only are interested in two:
- Administrators: group id = 1
- Redactores wiki: group id = 5

I have in localsettings that:

# If you experience the issue where you appear to be logged in
# eventhough you are logged out then disable the page cache.
$wgEnableParserCache = false;
$wgCachePages = false;

# SMF Authentication
# To get started you only need to configure wgSMFPath.
# The rest of the settings are optional for advanced features.

# Relative path to the forum directory from the wiki
# Do not put a trailing /
# Example: /public_html/forum and /public_html/wiki -> ../forum
$wgSMFPath = "../foro";

# Use SMF's login system to automatically log you in/out of the wiki
# This works best if you are using SMF database sessions (default).
# Make sure "Use database driven sessions" is checked in the
# SMF Admin -> Server Settings -> Feature Configuration section
# NOTE: Make sure to configure the $wgCookieDomain below
$wgSMFLogin = true;
$wgCookieDomain = 'SMFCookie11';

# Members in these SMF groups will not be allowed to sign into wiki.
# This is useful for denying access to wiki and a easy anti-spam
# method.  The group ID, which can be found in the url (;group=XXX)
# when viewing the group from the administrator control panel.
#$wgSMFDenyGroupID = array(4);

# Grant members of this SMF group(s) access to the wiki
# NOTE: The wgSMFDenyGroupID group supersedes this.
#wgSMFGroupID = array(2);

# Grant members of this SMF group(s) wiki sysop privileges
# NOTE: These members must be able to login to the wiki
#$wgSMFAdminGroupID = array(1);

# SMF to wiki group translation.  This allows us to assign wiki groups
# to those in certain SMF groups.
$wgSMFSpecialGroups = array(
  // SMF Group ID => Wiki group name,
5 => 'autoconfirmed',
       1 => 'administrator',
       5 => 'editor',
);

# THIS MUST BE ADDED.  This prevents direct access to the Auth file.
define('SMF_IN_WIKI', true);

# Load up the extension
require_once "$IP/extensions/Auth_SMF.php";
$wgAuth = new Auth_SMF();


$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; // MediaWiki Setting


I want that only group adminstrators and "redactores wiki" can create and edit pages.
Other users only read.

Okay...I'm very sorry... :-[

I left that post around for a second (5 days ago) and in a minute the browser's window was filled with tabs and I completely forgot that this post was already written and waiting (and to be honest I thought I posted it)... :-[
Well, in the end it doesn't give much valuable informations... ::)

The bridge seems configured properly, now you should set the MW permissions, but that's something I have no experience with...you should ask on some mediawiki support forum/mailinglist/wikipage...
I may try to check, though I'm not sure when...

Definatly...the SMF Bridge for MW (v1.21.1) are not working.

(fresh installed on both, XAMPP)

Have an error:

I would love to see a "related topics" block in this theme. Is anyone interested in developing such a thing?

For example, if a wiki article is simple to a thread title, it shows it below. :D

I would pay for its development.

I have installed the auth on a forum several weeks ago following few of the tricks I posted in this very topic and everything works as expected, so it *is* working.

One thing I remember I did at least once, but don't remember any more if it was related to the session_destroy or not, was to truncate the users table of the wiki...not a big suggestion, I know...

After trying almost the half day, to make the Bridge working, i finsihed this with a success.

you need to truncate the mediawiki user table, for to make this working

(smf 2.0.4 /MW 1.21.1)

I`m using the smfcurve-skin for the wiki - and i have a question:

How can i delete the "Logoff" Button in the UserInfo above the sidebar?

Probably when you created the user while installing MediaWiki, you created one with the same username as the one in SMF.

Why do you want to remove the logoff button?
I'm not sure it's possible.

Exactly for this reason, i want to delete the logoff-Button: When i click on this, i logged off from the MW not from SMF !!!

(this was different when i was bridging MW 1.16)

HELP! How can i login again into MW?

If this answer was for me: I was donig this - bridge not working correctly, if you are log-out from MW 1.21.1 (and 1.19, too)

You CAN only re-log-in, if you are trunkate the mw_user table...

Right, so now you're on 2.0, the old bridge won't work because the database changed, and we have no idea what the old bridge looked like or did anyway - you should probably forget trying to make that old bridge work.

have you just installed the bridge and it is now not working? if it is a new install have you enabled subdomain independent cookies? it is also more helpful if you pick one place or another to discuss your issue, having it here and github may end up confusing people.

If you use developer tools on your browser you can see the cookie that SMF is setting.  The bridge needs access to and needs to find the cookie in order to get your SMF session going again.

Thank you for your reply, i have changed it as you suggested and now i get:

The wiki is using .hypergamer.net as the domain and the forums shows the cookie under forums.hypergamer.net

Hello,

Like @SilverKnight before, I got some troubles getting bridge (v1.14) working correctly.
Once installed, and autologin activated, MediaWiki redirect to SMF (2.0.9) Login page, using here my smf credentials.

1. If not logged already in SMF, after credentials input, smf redirect to wiki, but still not logged in from wiki side.
2. If already logged in smf, smf login page is displayed, and after credentials input, that time it redirect to SMF index (and don't redirect to MediaWiki). If I move myself alone to Wiki page, I appear as logged out from wiki.

Login with MediaWiki using SMF accounts works if $wgSMFLogin = false;
MediaWiki autologin feature looks like broken. I suppose related to cookies.

SMF installed in /httpdocs/
MediaWiki in /httpdocs/wiki/

domain used is taucetifederation.com or www.taucetifederation.com

Inside LocalSettings.php, I tried every possible way to set domain :

$wgSMFLogin = true;
$wgCookieDomain = '.taucetifederation.com';
or :  taucetifederation.com or www.taucetifederation.com or  taucetifederation.com/wiki or with http, without, ...

No Changes ...

Here is my config :


# This requires a user be logged into the wiki to make changes.
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; // MediaWiki Setting

# If you experience the issue where you appear to be logged in
# eventhough you are logged out then disable the page cache.
#$wgEnableParserCache = false;
#$wgCachePages = false;

# SMF Authentication
# To get started you only need to configure wgSMFPath.
# The rest of the settings are optional for advanced features.

# Relative path to the forum directory from the wiki
# Do not put a trailing /
# Example: /public_html/forum and /public_html/wiki -> ../forum
$wgSMFPath = "../";

# Use SMF's login system to automatically log you in/out of the wiki
# This works best if you are using SMF database sessions (default).
# Make sure "Use database driven sessions" is checked in the
# SMF Admin -> Server Settings -> Feature Configuration section
# NOTE: Make sure to configure the wgCookeDomain below
$wgSMFLogin = true;
$wgCookieDomain = '.taucetifederation.com';

# Members in these SMF groups will not be allowed to sign into wiki.

#wgSMFGroupID = array(2);

# Grant members of this SMF group(s) wiki sysop privileges
# NOTE: These members must be able to login to the wiki
#$wgSMFAdminGroupID = array(1, 3);

# SMF to wiki group translation.  This allows us to assign wiki groups
# to those in certain SMF groups.
#$wgSMFSpecialGroups = array(
# // SMF Group ID => Wiki group name.
# 5 => 'autoconfirmed',

# THIS MUST BE ADDED.  This prevents direct access to the Auth file.
define('SMF_IN_WIKI', true);

# Load up the extension
require_once "$IP/extensions/Auth_SMF.php";
$wgAuth = new Auth_SMF();


If someone get caught by this problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any additional informations could be asked if needed.

Thanks anyway :)

do you have subdomain independent cookies turned ON (and local cookies turned OFF) in SMF Admin server settings?
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: eKyNoX on March 08, 2015, 04:06:55 PM
Hello and Thanks for your answer.

- So yes local cookie storage disabled
- Just activated "Use Subdomain independent cookies" with no changes.

No subdomains used currently anyway.

(http://puu.sh/gs3UL/6ec431b53e.png)

I have to correct my previous post, I have explained behavior using auth plugin 1.13 following http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SMF_Auth_Integration (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SMF_Auth_Integration)

I used 1.14 with no luck, I'll make more tests on latest 1.14 github version and coming back to you.

Arghhhh I had this error I forgot how I fixed it now though. FFS. :o

Oh yea one of my errors was the actual path from wiki to forum. I started with a "/" at the beginning and the bridge didn't like that (in one of those settings you have to manually edit.)

I have my SMF in /forums and wiki in /wiki (both housed in public_html so for me this line was needed (after many wierd code attempts...don't try to figure it out it doesn't seem logical lol):

$wgScriptPath = "/wiki";

Does that help?

EDIT2: Is that your entire config or just the SMF part? That's really small.

EDIT3: Here's my SMF part of LocalSettings (on a working install. Took a few nights and many code changes heh):

# SMF Authentication
# To get started you only need to configure wgSMFPath and wgSMFVersion.
# The rest of the settings are optional for advanced features.

$wgSMFPath = "../forums";

# Set to the version of SMF you are using.
#$wgSMFVersion = "1.1";
$wgSMFVersion = "2.0";

# Use SMF's login system to automatically log you in/out of the wiki
# This will only work if you are using SMF database sessions (default).
# Make sure "Use database driven sessions" is checked in the

$wgSMFLogin = true;

Hello, thanks for all this informations.

I'll install back wiki and auth from scratch today to take steps carefully.

You use v1.13 auth plugin or 1.14?
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: eKyNoX on March 09, 2015, 09:46:06 AM
Ok, still don't work but got some news.

With my fresh install, I started to use auth plugin v1.13 and behavior was the same like explained before (can login with smf credentials but when using $wgSMFLogin with cookie domain, do not redirect after login, and when back in wiki, I'm not logged in).

I tried after with auth plugin v1.14, I started here to not be able to login with my SMF administrator account and when using $wgSMFLogin, same problems as before occur ... but !

Used another smf account (not admin), it still do not redirect back to wiki, but I'm logged with that account inside mediawiki.

So ... why my main smf admin account is not accepted ?
Why too it do not redirect to wiki once logged?

Hi there.

I have just installed SMF v2.0.9 and MW v1.24.1

Once I add the Auth_SMF.php (v1.14) and added the stuff to the localSettings.php and set $wgSMFLogin = true;
I'm getting these warnings and the page do not load:

The error referenced that command so I printed out the command that's working on my installation. Does that match yours? We don't have your Auth_SMF.php to go off of so just using what information is present.

Alright, well the version of the Auth_SMF.php is the 1.14 from https://github.com/SimpleMachines/smf-mw-auth (https://github.com/SimpleMachines/smf-mw-auth)
I haven't changed anything in it since then. The warning message refers to this line:
https://github.com/SimpleMachines/smf-mw-auth/blob/master/Auth_SMF.php#L333 (https://github.com/SimpleMachines/smf-mw-auth/blob/master/Auth_SMF.php#L333) (link not working right since I don't have posted at least 10 postes)

I don't think I have seen your code in it, so maybe there is an updated version somewhere else ?

Kind regards

BlueTiger what version of SMF and MW do you use ?

If those are the same versions as I posted above, then could you post your Auth_SMF.php code here then ?

Post by: Satissis on March 29, 2015, 10:41:41 AM
Alright.

I have used some time fixing the warnings I was getting and can now see the page again.
Then I hit a snack that even that I was logged into the forum, it would not log me into the wiki. That I also fixed, since I found an small bug in the "AutoAuthenticateSMF" function, that didn't work with smf 2.0.9 and mw v1.24.1 and that might also fix the problem for some others having the same problems with not being able to see they are logged into the wiki after they are logged into the forum as well on older versions.

Now I have two small problem left.
1. When redirecting to the login page on the forum and login, it do not redirect me back to the wiki after I have logged in. This is due to when redirecting from the wiki to the forum login, the $_SESSION['old_url'] is set to "http://localhost/moddingcentral/moddingcentral/index.php" but was set to "http://localhost/moddingcentral/wiki/index.php?title=Main+Page&board=redirect" before redirecting to the forum login page but the forum did not catch that session value some how.

2. When logging out, it never logs out of the forum, so once logged out, it shows a logged out, but if you refresh the wiki page, you are automatic logged back in again. I did some tests and found out that it never got redirected to the forum to make it log out. Well the code is there for it, but never reaches it.
Here is why:
In the "UserLogoutSMF" function at the bottom, you have this:
// This means we have no SMF session data or unable to find it.
if (empty($_SESSION['session_var']))
return true;

smf_redirectWrapper('logout_url', 'logout;' . $_SESSION['session_var'] . '=' . $_SESSION['session_value']);

Somehow the $_SESSION['session_var'] is empty, so the redirect to the forum never happens and the login session is not terminated.

Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards

I have been trying this for a long time now, and it just isn't working. I am running Mediawiki 1.19.24 and SMF 2.0.9. I have tried using the default Auth_SMF.php, placing that in my extensions directory, and adding the code that is commented out to my LocalSettings.php, along with pointing it to my databases. My problem is it refuses to connect to the database, with the message "SMF was unable to connect to the database." despite the database clearly being configured correctly, since I can login using the credentials.

This is all on a brand new install of MediaWiki and an old SMF install that is currently in use. The wiki is located at /publichtml/mediawiki and the forum is located at /publichtml/forums

Please note that I have censored the files' data to avoid any security issues.

Hey!

I've some trouble with SMF_Auth, SMF and MW, maybe it's just a little thing, but who knows?
I use this versions of software: SMF 2.0.10, SMF_Auth 1.14 and MW 1.25.1

My SMF_Auth part of the localsettings.php looks like that:
# If you experience the issue where you appear to be logged in
# eventhough you are logged out then disable the page cache.
#$wgEnableParserCache = false;
#$wgCachePages = false;

# SMF Authentication

define('SMF_IN_WIKI', true);

# Load up the extension
require_once "$IP/extensions/Auth_SMF.php";
$wgAuth = new Auth_SMF();


My SMF server settings are:
Local storage: off
Subdomain cookies: off
Database session: on
Browser caching: on


I know in my localsetting I set the cookie domain to ".mydomain.com". At first I tried "mydomain.com", but it doesn't work. SMF always tell me something about "session and cookie", when I try to login from my wiki.

The folder structure is this:
mydomain.com/folder/forum/
mydomain.com/folder/wiki/
No subdomains!

When I click on "login" at my wiki I get redirected to my SMF login page, when I entered my username and password I'm loged in, but don't get redirected to my wiki. If I change the URL to my wiki I'm loged out - so nothing happend. I think it's a cookie/session problem, but all things I tried don't work.
I tried in the localsettings.php this combinations of cookie names: mydomain.com - .mydomain.com - mydomain.com/folder/ - .mydomain.com/folder/
Now I have no idea what I can do :(

Can someone help me, please?
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: Illori on July 31, 2015, 05:06:03 AM
even though your wiki is not in a sub domain i believe you need to have subdomain cookies enabled.

also i dont believe that after you log in on the forum there is a redirect back to the wiki as the forum does not know you were on the wiki.
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: Shadra on July 31, 2015, 05:15:49 AM
You are right, the SMF doesn't know something about the wiki, I add a new Tab and it's okay.

I tested the thing with subdomain cookies and I can login at my SMF without any error. But the MW give me new warnings: "session_name() [function.session-name.php]: session.name cannot be numeric or empty " in /home/restofthepath/folder/wiki/extensions/Auth_SMF.php on line 333" and "session_destroy () [function.session-destroy.php]: Trying to destroy uninitialized session in /home/restofthepath/folder/wiki/extensions/Auth_SMF.php on line 334"

This is the function
function UserLogoutSMF (&$user)
{
global $wgCookiePrefix, $wgSessionName;

// Log them out of wiki first.
$user->doLogout();

// Destory their session.
$wgCookiePrefix = strtr($wgCookiePrefix, "=,; +.\"'\\[", "__________");
$old_session = session_name(isset($wgSessionName) ? $wgSessionName : $wgCookiePrefix . '_session');
session_destroy();

// Destroy the cookie!
    $params = session_get_cookie_params();
    setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000, $params['path'], $params['domain'], $params['secure'], $params['httponly']);

// Back to whatever we had (we hope mediawiki).
session_name($old_session);

// Now SMFs turn.
smf_sessionSetup();

// This means we have no SMF session data or unable to find it.
if (empty($_SESSION['session_var']))
return true;

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


Line 333 and 334 are
   $old_session = session_name(isset($wgSessionName) ? $wgSessionName : $wgCookiePrefix . '_session');
   session_destroy();


I changed in the localsettings.php the domain cookie from ".mydomain.com" to "mydomain.com" and after reload the wiki I got only the first warning with line 333.

Sorry for double post, but I tried some other things and they work. Actually I've the same problem like ekynox a few months earlier.

Quote from: eKyNoX on March 09, 2015, 09:46:06 AM
...cut from shadra...

Used another smf account (not admin), it still do not redirect back to wiki, but I'm logged with that account inside mediawiki.

So ... why my main smf admin account is not accepted ?
...cut from shadra...

So all members of my board can now start spaming the wiki, without me as admin/sysop.
I uncommented in the localsettings.php this two values:
$wgSMFGroupID = array(2);
$wgSMFAdminGroupID = array(1, 3);

But nothing works, my latin is at the end :(
But one thing is now clear: it's no longer a cookie problem, but something else is wrong or so.

As I wrote a post before yours:
I uncommented in the localsettings.php this two values:
$wgSMFGroupID = array(2);
$wgSMFAdminGroupID = array(1, 3);

And only "not administrator's" can use the mediawiki. I couldn't fix it, that I - as admin - can use the bridge as well and nobody from the SMF team cares about the broken bridge (very sad). eKyNoX had the problem as well and wrote about it in march 2015. Nobody has done something so far and I don't think it will happen any time soon.
You see, since august - my last post - nobody respond. Hopefully this will help you a little bit, but maybe you can fix it and publish it to the community. :)

Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: SleePy on December 24, 2015, 07:06:23 PM
Shadra,
If you use $wgSMFGroupID, you need to specify all group ids that can access the wiki.  In SMF by default groups that have to exist:
1 = Administrators
2 = Global Moderators
3 = Moderators (pseudo type group that is only autofilled when viewing a board though)
After that you have the groups it creates by default with IDs 4 to 8 for some post based groups.

In the example, $wgSMFGroupID uses group ID 2, which are Global Moderators.  So only those who are Global Moderators will be able to use the wiki if you follow the example.

We don't make use of $wgSMFGroupID here, we actually use $wgSMFDenyGroupID and use the same group id provided in the example (4).  This prevents users with less than 10 posts from being able to login/modify the wiki and we do this as it offers us the best spam control on our wiki.  We usually can find and stop a spammer on the forums before they reach 10 posts, legit users usually can get past this in a short time and then are free to modify the wiki.
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: Shadra on January 06, 2016, 04:50:00 AM
Hi SleePy

I checked my MW Settings and set them to:
# Members in these SMF groups will not be allowed to sign into wiki.
# This is useful for denying access to wiki and a easy anti-spam
# method.  The group ID, which can be found in the url (;group=XXX)
# when viewing the group from the administrator control panel.
#$wgSMFDenyGroupID = array(4);

# Grant members of this SMF group(s) access to the wiki
# NOTE: The wgSMFDenyGroupID group supersedes this.
$wgSMFGroupID = array(4);

# Grant members of this SMF group(s) wiki sysop privileges
# NOTE: These members must be able to login to the wiki
$wgSMFAdminGroupID = array(1, 2);


So all users, including myself, should now have access to the wiki, but I've still the problem that my session don't work.

Warning: session_name() [function.session-name.php]: session.name cannot be a numeric or empty '' /wiki/extensions/Auth_SMF.php on line 333
Warning: session_destroy() [function.session-destroy.php]: Trying to destroy uninitialized session in ' /wiki/extensions/Auth_SMF.php on line 333

function UserLogoutSMF (&$user)
{
global $wgCookiePrefix, $wgSessionName;

// Log them out of wiki first.
$user->doLogout();

// Destory their session.
$wgCookiePrefix = strtr($wgCookiePrefix, "=,; +.\"'\\[", "__________");
$old_session = session_name(isset($wgSessionName) ? $wgSessionName : $wgCookiePrefix . '_session');
session_destroy();

// Destroy the cookie!
    $params = session_get_cookie_params();
    setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000, $params['path'], $params['domain'], $params['secure'], $params['httponly']);

// Back to whatever we had (we hope mediawiki).
session_name($old_session);

// Now SMFs turn.
smf_sessionSetup();

// This means we have no SMF session data or unable to find it.
if (empty($_SESSION['session_var']))
return true;

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


I'm loged in on my board, but as user that doesn't matter, because I'm automaticly loged in on the wiki, too. But not as admin.

I have a problem with this bridge. I have, I think, already tried all options. In the MediaWiki Forum members are not detected. It can not log any in the MediaWiki. There are only the standard groups of the Forum.

When installing mediawiki, does it have to be in the same database as SMF?
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: SleePy on July 07, 2017, 08:06:38 PM
It does not.  The auth will however use SMF's database credentials to authenticate a user.  Their is no need for cross database permissions.
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released
Post by: Biology Forums on July 09, 2017, 11:38:59 AM
Thank you for clarifying. I tried installing mediawiki 1.26, but they have a different system for calling extensions. Where can I find the updated version, the json file, required to install this extension?

The old method of requiring a file via localsettings.php changed after 1.25, I believe.
Title: Re: SMF MediaWiki integration released

You can still use the old LocalSettings.php modifications.  I haven't had time to update it properly to use the json requirements.

Hi SleePy, you can't from when I tried. You'd need to create a new JSON file for the extension.

I went ahead and used the 1.24.6 version anyway. If you get a chance please let us know

Just a note to those who may be stumbling in getting the cookie to carry over (MediaWiki continuously showing log in).  I was able to resolve it by pulling down the July 2014 version of the Auth_SMF.php file and using that rather than the Fix #12 version from July 2017.

This was on SMF 2.0.14 and MW 1.27.3 LTS.

Hello,

i can't get the bridge to work,

I've installed the last version of SMF 2 (2.0.14) and the MediaWiki 1.29.1 (incl. the bluespice add-on).

After editing all files for the bridge i can't login into the wiki.
It didn't work for the admin and also for a new member i created for testing reason.

It would be great if somebody could help me.

Hello Nemwar,

BlueSpice doesn't support MediaWiki 1.29.
It supports the latest Long Term Support (LTS) version 1.27. That is most probably the reason.

You can find all system requirements at the BlueSpice Helpdesk (Setup Portal).

The next supported LTS version will be 1.31, which is announced by the Wikimedia Foundation for 2018.

Best regards!

Hi guys,
This seems to be the right topic for me and I hope you can help.

Recently I installed MediaWiki 1.30 and wanted to integrate its users with SMF 2.0.15. So I basically want MW to use SMF user accounts for authentication, so no new accounts have to be created.

I tried SMF extensions listed in hte MW Extensions page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Simple_machines_forum_extensions (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Simple_machines_forum_extensions) but they are very old. Most of them are already not available (sites do not exist anymore) and the rest just doesn't work with SMF. I'm getting error after an error. Not even able to see the logon page. By the source code it seems the ones I found do not support SMF 2.0.

Does anyone from you have a MW extension for SMF 2.0 that just works? Like I download it, install it, configure e.g. in LocalSettings and job done? I'm not able to resolve all these incompatibility issues in PHP code by  myself.

Please help!

Hi all,
I have the same problem that a few previous have had in that I have setup the auth and local correctly (to my knowledge) and when i click on "login" in the wiki it redirects me to the SMF login, after login I redirect back to the wiki but I am not logged in at all.

I have posted a help topic within MW but that hasn't had any hits.
It does, however, have more information. So please refer to it.
mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Ud5w2egnyevk1r1o

I would really appreciate any help. I have gone through the code line by line, function by function, and created alerts to find out where it possibly drops out but with no luck. I'm still with the same original issue of not being able to actually use SMF to login to the wiki...

Hi all, sorry for the necropost, just checking to see if this extension still works with the current releases. I'm using mediawiki-1.33.4-1.fc32.noarch and SMF 2.0.17 but get HTTP 500 errors as soon as I enable the extension. Am I chasing a dead end?

Thanks

There was a post somewhere here on the forum or on GitHub, (I forget where exactly), where one of the developers had asked me to test it out, as it was being updated for newer versions of MediaWiki at the time after I reported that it was broken on them. If I remember correctly, I wasn't able to test it further at the time because my version of PHP was much newer and not yet supported, so I couldn't give an answer regarding it, but supposedly for others it was indeed working. I'm not sure if it still works on the current version of MediaWiki or not, though.
