Installing FCKeditor with subversion

Go to your extension folder:

cd path/to/extensions

Download the FCKeditor with Subversion:

svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/FCKeditor

Then edit the LocalSettings.php and add the line:

require_once("$IP/extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.php");

OpenID

Lets you login in several webs using the same account (OpenID, Google account, etc.).

Information sources:

• http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID
• http://acacha.org/mediawiki/index.php/Mediawiki#OpenID
• Here's an example of configuration:
  • http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_OpenID_Mediawiki_extension

To install it:

• Dowload the snapshot for your specific version (and not from SVN).
• Follow the instructions in: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID
  • Add path
  • Install PHP libraries: pear, gmp, curl, mcrypt

The initial configuration (LocalSettings.php) that appears in that last link is something like (changing "www.test.com" and /path/to/some/directory):

 # Load the OpenID extension
 require_once("$IP/extensions/OpenID/OpenID.php");
 # Set the URL for the MediaWiki installation.
 $wgTrustRoot="www.test.com";
 # Allow all by default
 $wgOpenIDConsumerDenyByDefault=false;
 # Set the store type to file
 $wgOpenIDConsumerStoreType="file";
 # Set the location of where to store but not reachable by the web
 $wgOpenIDConsumerStorePath="/path/to/some/directory/";
 # Do the same stor thing for the OpenID server
 $wgOpenIDServerStoreType="file";
 $wgOpenIDServerStorePath="/path/to/some/directory/";

You must create directories for authentication data outside the public_html folder and make them writeable.

OpenID solucions finals

OpenID ofereix algunes dificultats d'instal·lació a la Mediawiki.

He trobat solucions en aquesta article: Mètode general: http://eternallyoptimistic.com/2008/02/11/yah-about-that-mediawiki-openid-extension/

OJU: L'article és obsolet però més o menys s'entén. Cal baixar la darrera versió de openid-php des de http://www.janrain.com/openid-enabled

Al final de l'article diu que és més fàcil si copiem el directori "Auth" del openid-php a l'arrel de la Mediawiki. Així ja no tenim problemes de paths.

Pot ser que ens doni un error de Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE. Si és així a mi m'ha funcionat aquesta solució: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=5463.0
