Subject: Integration with DokuWiki
I have just completed integration of UNB with DokuWiki.  Well, mostly: DokuWiki now checks UNB's user list and passwords to verify wiki user permissions.  It does not support the rest of DokuWiki's user-edit functionality, which is optional:  just remember to edit them in UNB instead!

Note also that I had to revert UNB to MD5 hashing for passwords, which means all your UNB users will have to create new passwords.  The alternative is putting Yves' KMD5 code into DokuWiki, but such a job is beyond me.

I encourage additions to this work: my SQL abilities are pathetic.

Great news for me, because I'm right now migrating from phpbb to unb which seems to me less monstrous and adequate.

The dokuwiki story is pleasnat too (authentication) and md5 fact - I had to chaged functions in phpBB and WP to md5 in order to unify password checks otherwise i had to write a huge function with cases.

The other thing whish is bothering me now is migrating from phpbb to unb. Is there a script or a suggestion because iserting posts from phpbb by hand is terrible story and making a php script that inserts former phpbb_posts values to unb_posts  table can cause some unpredictible diffuclties.

Greetings NFG!

Question: When you integrate Dokuwiki and UNB, will you still be able to manage user edit functionality? What do you mean by 'optional'. I am interesting in doing the same as you, but I will have many editors on my home page, and I must be able to individually manage their editor rights on different pages. Will that be possible?

I am totally new to this, but Dokuwiki and UNB comes recommended, hence i try it out :)

Thanks in advance!

Users will be created in UNB, but you'll need to set special permissions for the users/groups in DokuWiki's ACL. 

I haven't put a lot of effort into working with it, the users on my site spend a lot of time on the forum but not on the wiki, so I don't remember if DW actually checks the usergroups from UNB or not...

You should consider it a basic implementation: it checks the UNB userlist for logins and passwords, and I THINK it also checks usergroups.  You'll need to match the group names from UNB in DW's ACL, but that's basically all it does.

So, edit users and groups in UNB, and DW will obey the rules for those users and groups if you set them in the ACL.

Yup, pretty sure that's how it works.  ^_^

Sorry I can't be more specific.  My memory's awesome, but short.

I also updated the documentation on their site as I just did a quick integration of the latest UNB and DokuWiki.  You can read it here:

http://www.dokuwiki.org/auth:mysql_unb2

I had my own special constraints though.  For instance I changed my SQL so only moderators and higher on my forums can log into the wiki.  And you will need to deal with the ACL if you want to have permissions levels for users.  I let anyone that can login edit everything, so it was less important for me.  :)
