Looking for a plugin to integrate wikimedia into oxwall | Forum

Topic location: Forum home » Support » General Questions

I have wikimedia installed on a subdirectory and oxwall install in the main directory.

I'm unable to access the wiki directory, as oxwall is not allowing access and giving an error page.

How can I omit this directory from the oxwall installation so I can access it?

Further, I would like to access it from the oxwall installation by making the wiki index page a menu item.

For instance, a oxwall.org/wiki or wiki.oxwall.org menu link as I have done with other external sites, or create a page using the /wiki directory.

I assume I will be able to create a page for it using the directory once I can access it.

Thank you in advance.

Most anything outside the core of oxwall, files, pics, html, php, anything that you add that is not in the core (for example you add a html or php to the public_html but not to oxwall or via oxwall) they must be allowed.

How do you allow them, well via htaccess.

so open up your htaccess for oxwall (i assume its in public_html) and tell it that the wiki folder is cool.

as to your second question, yes once you get access you can add a page via admin and add the page for that subfolder.

You're awesome.

Thanks very much.

Is it possible to integrate the oxwall users database with the mediawiki users database? It would be great if users only had to sign up once to use both areas.

Liberty Jones Apr 22 '15

That is a great question.

On a related note, I have added this to the .htaccess file but I still can't get to media wiki

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/wiki/

What should I put in the .htaccess file in the /w directory? It currently has the following (in line with the mediawiki instructions)

RewriteEngine On

Rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://geek.zone/w/ [r=301,nc,L,PT]

RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/index.php [L]

That answered my second question but my initial question was

Quote from James Geddes Is it possible to integrate the oxwall users database with the mediawiki users database?

I see that there are, for example, mediawiki extensions that allow it to be dependent on moodle, enabling "single-sign-on". Has something similar been done with oxwall yet? Apparently I'm not the only one using oxwall along side mediawiki.

James Geddes, typically, the process of integration involves changes in the software on both sides. As far as I know this integration has not been realized yet and this is why it difficult to estimate the complexity of the task. I can assume that you will need to make complicated custom code modification and may be implement some kind of the API bridge.

If you are not familiar with the code modification or plugin development, it would be better for you to find a developer who can help you. You can do it here: http://www.oxwall.org/market/specialists .
