Topic on Extension talk:WPMW

Hi Ciaran,

Whoever else might review this page: I currently have a need to integrate MediaWiki tightly into a Wordpress installation.

I am deeply grateful for this base, but I would like to take it further as a GPL plugin, developed collaboratively, using GitHub, that makes integration complete and seamless, including: - Having all the MediaWiki navigation options visible in Wordpress - Having the edit form appear inside Wordpress as well - Masking the Mediawiki backend

This is for consistency. Users, including me, like a website to have its own identity, and seamlessness between relevant sections.

I am aiming to use this as the de-facto knowledge base system for Wordpress.

Want to join me?

I have a public repo up here: https://github.com/ArgoNavis/wpmw-plus

I intend to maintain this actively over the next few weeks and months. Feel free to join me.

Hi,
I'm not Ciaran and I am not so experienced with plugin programming.
However I would help out as a beta tester. Just update me/us in this thread please. I love your idea of taking the plugin further!
Cheers,
Stefan

Thank you very much. I have updated the README with a list of proposed features: https://github.com/ArgoNavis/wpmw-plus/blob/master/README.md

Thanks for the list.
I didn't know that you already published a WP plugin - I will check it out soon!

> Automatically check that the .htaccess file of the master WordPress installation does not interfere.

How does your .htaccess look like?
It took me quite a while to get a working one - I've documented it here.

Hey, thank you. The plugin is not my work, I am actually not a fan of how it simply proxies the Wikimedia installation. Because I am currently releasing a project for about the next two weeks, I haven't dedicated myself fully to the WPMW plus edition. But I will.

I run a multisite, three instances, so my .htaccess differs a bit from yours: thank you for the headstart.

May I elaborate a bit and integrate it later down the road?

Sure, you can elaborate the .htaccess like you want.

Looking forward to your updates. Maybe Ciarin will join the discussion...

There is an official git repo here https://gitlab.com/CiaranG/wpmw

Who is working on this now? I'm interested in using this with the current versions of WordPress and am willing to contribute to development in order to make this functional.
