Wikka with Simple Machines Forum
This is still in the idea stage, although I am already testing some hacks on my local machine.
All help appreciated!
Aims:
- Replace the Wikka registration/login system with a bridge to the SMF forum membership system.
- Allow registered and logged-in SMF forum users to edit pages in Wikka
- Automatically camel-case SMF usernames for use in Wikka
Possible ways of acheiving this:
- Either using a similar hack to WikkaWithphpBB, or
- use the API (smf_api.php) that is supplied with SMF that allows us to call some standard routines like checking whether a user is logged in and return their username.
I am currently favouring method 2, which will probably be slightly more difficult but I think it will offer greater flexibility and tighter integration, we'll see...
We could work the other way around as well:
Aims:
- Replace the SMF registration page with a bridge from wikka registration page
- Allow registered and logged-in wikka users to use the forum (and none else)
I use a wikkasite where I want to include a SMF forum. So I'd like SMF to use the usernames and pw's from Wikka, and have Wikka log them into the forum when they log into the wiki. (same goes for editing rights in Wordpress weblog admintool)
Possible ways of achieving this:
- the two routes as stated above
- have Wikka set a cookie for SMF as well, as both rely on cookies for determining logged-in status.
