Any Idea on how to integrate a wiki to this forum?

codekmarv

Hi, I am setting up a forum for a software, and I'd like to integrate a wiki or knowledge base somehow. Any idea would be very appreciated.
So far I have thought of the possibility of a wordpress site, with a wiki plugin, and vanilla forum integrated, too.

Regards,

A wiki would be a great application!

The biggest thing would be creating a revision history.

That said, it would almost certainly be better to create an SSO integration with existing wiki software.

Ideas:

• https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpwiki/
• http://www.oddmuse.org/
• http://www.foswiki.org/
• http://mojomojo.org/

I just stitched together a simple dokuwiki auth plugin allowing vanilla users to automatically be logged into the wiki (SSO).

We plan to have such a wiki integration for our german - chinese forum and news site nihaochina.de. Perhaps I will make an official (dokuwiki-)plugin out of it in the future...

Here is the auth.php file to be put into an 'authvanilla' folder in your dokuwiki plugin directory:

<?php
if(!defined('DOKU_INC')) die();

class auth_plugin_authvanilla extends DokuWiki_Auth_Plugin {
    protected $vanilla_path = null;

    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->cando['external'] = true;
        $this->cando['logout']   = false;
        $this->vanilla_path = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)."/../../../".trim($this->getConf("vanilla_path"), "/\\"));
        $this->success = true;
    }

    /**
     * Do all authentication
     *
     * @param   string  $user    Username
     * @param   string  $pass    Cleartext Password
     * @param   bool    $sticky  Cookie should not expire
     * @return  bool             true on successful auth
     */
    public function trustExternal($user, $pass, $sticky = false) {
        global $USERINFO, $lang;

        define('APPLICATION', 'Vanilla');
        define('APPLICATION_VERSION', '2.0');
        define('DS', '/');
        define('PATH_ROOT', $this->vanilla_path);
        ob_start();
        require_once(PATH_ROOT.DS.'bootstrap.php');
        ob_end_clean();

        $session = Gdn::Session();
        if ($session->IsValid() && $session->User->Confirmed && !$session->User->Banned && !$session->User->Deleted) {
            $USERINFO = array('name' => $session->User->Name, 'mail' => $session->User->Email, 'grps' => array());
            if ($session->User->Admin == '1') {
                $USERINFO['grps'][] = "admin";
            } else {
                $USERINFO['grps'][] = "user";
            }

            $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] = $session->User->UserID;
            $_SESSION[DOKU_COOKIE]['auth']['user'] = $session->User->UserID;
            $_SESSION[DOKU_COOKIE]['auth']['info'] = $USERINFO;
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

I would use a permission check rather than checking the Admin field. The current way will only give admin to the super-admin.
