Am I missing something?

[berianwilliams]

Hi. I've unzipped the folder ForumSessionProvider into my extensions folder.

I've added the below lines to LocalSettings.php:

// Disable creation of accounts
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount']               = false;

# This requires a user be logged into the wiki to make changes.
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit']                        = false; // MediaWiki Setting

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit']                     = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['autoconfirmed']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['emailconfirmed']           = true;

wfLoadExtension('ForumSessionProvider');

$wgFSPPath = "../forums";
$wgFSPSoftware = "smf2.0";
$wgFSPNameStyle = "smf";

$wgFSPAdminGroups = [1, 51, 61];        // Optional array, defaults to [1]. Assigns sysop group. User group 1 (Administrators) is always added even if missing. 
$wgFSPInterfaceGroups = [1];    // Optional array, defaults to [1]. Assigns interface-admin group. User group 1 (Administrators) is always added even if missing. 
$wgFSPAllowGroups = [3, 4, 49, 53, 55, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 74, 77, 80, 81, 82, 83];             // Technically optional array. Those signed into this group gain normal user rights. 
$wgFSPDenyGroups = [];                  // Optional array. Anyone in one of the groups doesn't get signed in, unless they are part of an admin group. Supersedes AllowGroups. 
$wgFSPSuperGroups = [1];                // Optional array. Grants the bureaucrat group. Not forced onto admins. 

But when I open the wiki, following the 'log in' link then logging in doesn't seem to have any effect. Any advice?

Load the extension after you define the variables. Not missing anything I guess, but I should make that more obvious, I think. >_>

Also be careful of assigning the bureaucrat group, unless you really seriously need to. Most of what it does is going to get clobbered by the extension.

[berianwilliams]

I've tried it before and after the variable definitions, but it didn't make any visible difference. I also tried emptying out of bureaucrat array.

I've attached my LocalSettings.php (with all secret data removed), could you please look and see if I'm doing something dumb?

Set $wgDebugLogFile to a path you have write access to, preferably in a private directory.

For example:

$wgDebugLogFile = "../../logs/mediawiki.log";

Grep it for ForumSessionProvider lines.

This bloats pretty quickly, but it should tell you what is wrong, though I have a couple bugs and omissions in it. I'll patch this up in the 1.1 branch shortly.

[Vekseid]

Oh right.

If you have upgraded to SMF 2.0.16, you will need to use the 1.1 branch - SMF 2.0.16 changes how cookies are validated.

I've polished things there, regardless.

See #2

I'm now running version 1.1, and tried it with debug on. Somehow I'm seeing no logs for ForumSessionProvider though! Special:Version does show version 1.1.0 of ForumSessionProvider though, so no idea what's happening...

[Vekseid]

Whoops, see my latest commit.

Missed that you were already logging in your LocalSettings. Are you sure it's logging there though? It ought to have caught that...

[Vekseid]

@berianwilliams is your issue resolved?

[berianwilliams]

Still nothing, I'm afraid.

I've tried installing the latest 1.1 branch changes from today (I'm running SMF 2.0.16), and set there to be only one $wgDebugLogFile entry. There are still no ForumSessionProvider entries in the log though!

[Vekseid]

Okay, for some reason the LoggerFactory instance isn't doing its thing inside of provideSessionInfo.

Fixed in latest commit.

Set

$wgFSPDebug = true;

It will definitely send ForumSessionProvider entries throughout the login process now. If you see 'Access Granted!' and still aren't logged in, something is terribly wrong.

[berianwilliams]

I now get:

[ForumSessionProvider] Constructor initialized, debug log enabled.
[ForumSessionProvider] Loading Settings.php...
[ForumSessionProvider] User detected, attempting to load database...
[ForumSessionProvider] Database loaded, attempting to load forum member...
[ForumSessionProvider] Forum member found, verifying cookie...
[ForumSessionProvider] Member ID 39 failed to validate. Remote IP:82.9.110.127

I definitely am logged in as user 39 though; the wiki still shows the 'log in' link, and if I click that the forum login page opens with the header showing me logged in as said user. Further up in the log I see a list of cookies, and the forum cookie is one of them.

Just in case it makes a difference, I'm running MediaWiki version 1.31.1, SMF version 2.0.16.

[Vekseid]

@berianwilliams see latest commit. Should work now. No small embarrassment on my part. >_>

[berianwilliams]

Works now! Thanks very much for the help, it's a very useful tool to have!
