wiki extension for Exponential ?

Saturday 21 February 2009 6:21:45 pm

does anybody knows wether there exists an "wiki" extension for Exponential 4

or has anybody experience with using "MediaWiki" in combination with Exponential.

For example:
I have a community area where registered members can login. One feature of the community area should be a wiki. I thought I can realise it by a link, which opens my "MediaWiki" in a new browsertab. But doing this, the user has to login himself to the wiki system. But this is not very comfortable.

I want to realise a Single Sign-on between Exponential an "MediaWiki".

Fortunately the "MediaWiki" api offers a login function which I could use. But now my question is: How can I get the logindata (login name and password) from a user, who has successfully entered the community area .

The session data does not help, because there I have the pasword only as md5 hash.

You can access the "MediaWiki" api documentation here:
