Using the phpBB users table for logging in


See also:
 

This is a very simple hack to get Wikka to read from the users table of a phpBB database rather than its own. It is assuming that you have installed your Wikka into the same database as phpBB and that your phpBB tables are prefixed with "phpbb_" and that their names have not been edited.

This will allow users from your phpBB forum to login to your wiki with their existing username and password.

Please note that for suggested changes phpBB and wikka should use the same database - otherwise it is necessary to give rights to wikka's database to read phpBB's database - and to write name of phpBB's database before its tables.


/Wikka.php (in Wikka 1.1.6.2 its /libs/Wakka.class.php)
Find:
    function LoadUser($name, $password = 0) { return $this->LoadSingle("select * from ".$this->config['table_prefix']."users where name = '".mysql_real_escape_string($name)."' ".($password === 0 ? "" : "and password = '".mysql_real_escape_string($password)."'")." limit 1"); }


Replace with:
 function LoadUser($name, $password = 0) { return $this->LoadSingle("select * from ".phpbb_."users where username = '".mysql_real_escape_string($name)."' ".($password === 0 ? "" : "and user_password = '".mysql_real_escape_string($password)."'")." limit 1"); }


Find:
 function LoadUsers() { return $this->LoadAll("select * from ".$this->config['table_prefix']."users order by name"); }


Replace with:
 function LoadUsers() { return $this->LoadAll("select * from ".phpbb_."users order by username"); }


Find:
 function GetUserName() { if ($user = $this->GetUser()) $name = $user["name"]; else if (!$name = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"])) $name = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; return $name; }


Replace with:
 function GetUserName() { if ($user = $this->GetUser()) $name = $user["username"]; else if (!$name = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"])) $name = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; return $name; }


Find:
 function SetUser($user) { $_SESSION["user"] = $user; $this->SetPersistentCookie("user_name", $user["name"]); $this->SetPersistentCookie("pass", $user["password"]); }


Replace with:
 function SetUser($user) { $_SESSION["user"] = $user; $this->SetPersistentCookie("user_name", $user["username"]); $this->SetPersistentCookie("pass", $user["user_password"]); }


/handlers/page/acls.php
Find:
 echo "\t".'<option value="'.$this->htmlspecialchars_ent($user['name']).'">'.$user['name'].'</option>'."\n";


Replace with:
 echo "\t".'<option value="'.$this->htmlspecialchars_ent($user['username']).'">'.$user['username'].'</option>'."\n";

/actions/usersettings.php
Find:
 case (md5($_POST['password']) != $existingUser['password']):


Replace with:
 case (md5($_POST['password']) != $existingUser['user_password']):


added by EniBevoli - fix to show the name of the user again in the User Settings page

Find:
 <td>Hello, <?php echo $this->Link($user['name']) ?>!</td>


Replace with:
 <td>Hello, <?php echo $this->Link($user['username']) ?>!</td>

I changed several things in the highscores.php code. Mostly they were changing the "name" to "username" but there was also the table prefix thing that had to be fixed up. Here's the full code:
/actions/highscores.php
<?php
    # highscores.php {{HighScores}}
    # by Chris Tessmer
    # 19 Dec 2002
    # license: GPL

    $str = 'SELECT Count(*) AS cnt, `username`  FROM phpbb_users, ' ;
    $str .= $this->config["table_prefix"].'pages ';
    $str .= "WHERE `username` = `owner` AND `latest` = 'Y' GROUP BY username ORDER BY cnt DESC;";
    $rankQuery = $this->Query( $str );

    $str = 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '.$this->config["table_prefix"].'pages WHERE `latest` = \'Y\' ';
    $totalQuery = $this->Query( $str );
    $total  = mysql_result($totalQuery, 0);

    print( "<blockquote><table>" );

    $i = 0;    
    while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($rankQuery) )
    {
        $i++;
        $str = '<tr>';
        $str .= "<td>$i. &nbsp;</td>";
        $str .= '<td>'. $this->Format( $row["username"] ) .'</td>';
        $str .= '<td> </td>';
        $str .= '<td> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>';
        $str .= '<td>'.$row["cnt"].'</td>';
        $str .= '<td> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>';
        $str .= '<td>'. round( ($row["cnt"]/$total)*100, 2).'% </td>';
        $str .= '</tr>';
        print( $str );
    }
    print( "</table></blockquote>" );    
?>





Wikka Wiki and phpBB: using phpBB user information and allow Wikka-specific user settings

Added on July 29, 2005 by EniBevoli

I still have to make a easily readable diff output (such as "Find" - "Replace with" above; I already translated some text strings to German, so diff'ing is currently a mess) so that other users can edit their own files, but since I have finally come to a solution outlined below, I thought it would be a beneficial for others to simply post my results right away. The existing work on the Wikka Wiki / phpBB integration was a big starting point; without this information, I wouldn't even had a clue what to do. :)

Features / How it works:

Requirements:
- After the integration of Wikka Wiki and phpBB is done, user registration via Wikka Wiki must be disabled, new accounts should only be added via phpBB; see UserRegistration for more information about how to disable user registration

It took me quite some time to figure out why turning off "double click edit" didn't work - it is a bug with Wikka Wiki 1.1.6.0. :) I don't include the bug fix here, since it is already outlined in WikkaBugs.

Changed files:


As I said, I'm still compiling the changes in an easily readable format and will update this page when I'm done.
