Mediawiki

Mediawiki is the wiki software powering wikipedia. It can fairly easily be made to work with Raven. The Computing Service has been using a Raven-enabled copy of Mediawiki internally for some time. CARET have a Raven-enabled copy of Mediawiki that is available to the university - see http://wiki.caret.cam.ac.uk/

Software hacks, 1.5.2

The only code changed is includes/User.php, with the following change on line 153 (keep the CRSID lowercase):

$s = $dbr->selectRow( 'user', array( 'user_id' ), array( 'user_name' => $name ), $fname );

... and in the function newFromName():

if ( isset( $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] ) ) {
  $sName = $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"];
  $sId = User::idFromName($sName);
  $user = new User();
  if ( $sId == 0 ) {
    /* User doesn't exist here yet.  */
    $user->setName($sName);
    $user->addToDatabase();
  } else {
    $user->mId = $sId;
    $user->loadFromDatabase();
  }
  return $user;
}
