==What can this extension do?== |
|||
It creates a special page that cleans up SpecialUserLogin from signup related stuff, adds an API for signup, adds sourcetracking for account creation & AJAX-ifies the signup form. |
|||
==Installation== |
|||
To install this extension, copy the entire SignupAPI directory to your extensions directory |
|||
Add the following to [[Manual:LocalSettings.php|LocalSettings.php]]: |
|||
{{$IP}} |
|||
<source lang="php"> |
|||
$wgUseAjax = true; |
|||
$wgSignupAPIUseAjax = true; |
|||
$wgSignupAPISourceTracking = true; |
|||
$wgUseCombinedLoginLink = false; |
|||
require_once("$IP/extensions/SignupAPI/SignupAPI.php"); |
|||
</source> |
|||
Finally, take a backup of your existing database & run [[Manual:Update.php|update.php]] to create the sourcetracking table. |
|||
===Configuration parameters=== |
|||
$wgUseAjax |
|||
This parameter is required to use AJAX & is set to true by default in MediaWiki 1.17 & above |
|||
$wgSignupAPIUseAjax |
|||
If set to true, the extension will AJAX-ify the signup form & facilitate the validation of username, password, retype & email dynamically before submitting the form |
|||
$wgSignupAPISourceCreation |
|||
If set to true, the extension will add the source tracking paramaters to the 'Create account' link & on successful signup will store them inside the sourcetracking table |
|||
$wgUseCombinedLoginLink |
|||
This parameter is used to display separate links for Login & Create account instead of the combined 'Login/Create account' link. |
|||
==Screenshot== |
|||
