Fixed a login bug where MW was displaying an error the first time a user logged into it.Added a link to phpBB's register page from the login screen.When the user is not found in the phpBB user database they now see a MediaWiki error asking them to register.When the user is not in the "Wiki" group the user now sees a MediaWiki error that says so.Uses phpBB3 username case folding methods.Added support for multiple Wiki Groups.Fixed a potential SQL injection security hole.Add User type check as per Community Contributions.It's possible that this may be related to non-English software, which is common to users reporting the error.įor release since 3.1.0, see the project's releases page on GitHub. Some users experience an error when phpBB and MediaWiki are in different databases, while other users have no problem doing so. phpBB doesn't have a problem with password and username being the same phrase. Limit phpBB username characters to Alphanumeric only in the User registration settings of phpBB3.įurthermore, watch out that MediaWiki doesn't allow the same phrase as password that you chose for your username.Installing a phpBB extension to restrict MediaWiki-incompatible characters in phpBB.The Custom phpBB-to-MediaWiki username translation section of the README goes into this in depth. The suggested approach for existing phpBB installations is to create a custom phpBB user profile field where a phpBB admin can set a MediaWiki-friendly username for users with incompatible names.There are a few ways to solve this problem: For example, MediaWiki does not allow the '' bracket symbols. Although all MediaWiki usernames are valid in phpBB, some phpBB usernames are not valid in MediaWiki. MediaWiki does not follow the same user naming conventions as phpBB, so there may be problem if someone uses an invalid username. See the project's README for more information on how to configure these.
PHPBB_Auth supports several optional features as well, including connecting to phpBB tables in an external database, requiring users to be a member of a specific phpBB group to log in, customized error messages, and custom phpBB-to-MediaWiki username translation. $wgAuth_Config = // load the authentication extensions wfLoadExtension ( 'PluggableAuth' ) wfLoadExtension ( 'Auth_phpBB' ) Optional features
