From what I can tell, $user->isLoggedIn() tells whether a user
object is an anonymous one or one with an id in the user table. Is
there a function that actually can tell if a user is logged in? I'm
not trying to display this in the wiki, I'm trying to integrate
logging into the wiki into the login system of a blogging package I
have. I realize that most authentication packages do it the other
way, but I'd like to try making the blog treat users as logged in if
they are logged into the wiki.
I'm guessing that there must be session info that I can use
somewhere. My thought is to have the blog send a query on a private
port or via the shell to something that responds if the username
matches someone who is logged in. My first attempt:
<?php
require_once("./includes/WebStart.php" );
require_once("./includes/Wiki.php" );
$mediaWiki = new MediaWiki();
$wikiUser = User::newFromName($_REQUEST['user']);
if($wikiUser->isLoggedIn()){
echo "y";
} else{
echo "n";
}
?>
returns Y whether the user is logged in or not, for the reason
described above.
