Topic: Integrating PunBB's Users with Mediawiki

Hey Folks,
I've done numerous searches across these forums as well on Google in reference to using PunBB's User's from MySQL DB to authenticate with MediaWiki.  As far as I can tell it looks as if there is something out there already, however when I try to visit the Punres site, the site is down, can access the wiki, however nothing is on there in regards to integrating the two.  If you have any information or help, by all means lend me a hand!

Re: Integrating PunBB's Users with Mediawiki

I started this topic about punres being down. Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon. As for your wiki integration thingy, if you search punbb forums you might find something.

Aye, I have searched this forum, I've found a few references to it and a file auth_punbb.php, however nothing leads up to anything else.  I've also ran a google search for auth_punbb and they all lead me back to here big_smile

There is integration with DokuWiki, maybe look at it and adapt it for MediaWiki?

I just thought I'd follow up on this, in case anyone else is Interested in doing exactly as I inquired.  I went over to Punres and found the following thread: http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=1328

Take a look at it, works well, however Some additional programming is needed to prevent caching issues with MediaWiki.  good luck!
