hi,
I am working on developing some auth extensions these days. Now I have already
done halt of my project. I extended a new class from AuthPlugin and write my
code in it, it works fine. But I want to do more on this. For example, I wanna
make Mediawiki login automaticlly when I logged in other applications.
When I logged in an other application, the application would call a file in
Mediawiki, for example, I installed my forum in forum.xxxxx.org and mediawiki
in wiki.xxxxx.org, when I logged in forum, the forum would access
http://wiki.xxxxx.org/myapi.php automatically and POST user ID to it. Now I
must make myapi.php to set a session to make mediawiki show the user has been
logged in. I have read the Mediawiki API but it cannot satisfy me, because it
need some more information which I cannot supply such like users password. So
is there anyway to make a user logged in without a clear-text password? thx!!
BTW: I found another problem on a class which extended from AuthPlugin.
When I 'echo' something in
function authenticate($username, $password)
it wont shown on page. Only when I added exit(); to stop program running, my
message can be shown. For example, If I use this code:
function authenticate($username, $password){
echo 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa';
//Do something to auth
return true;
}
Nothing would shown, it would redirected to LoginComplete page directly.
And also, if I use a hook:
$wgHooks['UserLoginComplete'][] = 'WMHook_UserLoginComplete';
and 'echo' something in function WMHook_UserLoginComplete():
function WMHook_UserLoginComplete(&$user, &$inject_html){
$uid = $user->getId();
echo $uid;
return true;
}
Nothing would be shown. If I modified the $inject_html like:
function WMHook_UserLoginComplete(&$user, &$inject_html){
$inject_html = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa';
return true;
}
Whatever value I passed to $inject_html execpt empty string would cause
Mediawiki stop working. Nothing would shown and the program was stop.
Could you tell me why this happed? thx
