MyBBAuth: a MediaWiki extension enabling wiki login via credentials on a MyBB forum

[Laird]

Glad you got it working.

Thanks for the heads-up about autocreateaccount - I've added it to the instructions in the README.

Hey Laird,

Would it at all be possible to block certain MyBB usergroups from being able to login to MediaWiki and edit? Or will all usergroups from MyBB be able to edit?

Thanks!

Hi Taylor M,

It's been a while since I worked on this plugin, so this answer might not be correct, but it seems to me that you would be best off managing edit permissions (even for MyBB-derived accounts) via MediaWiki's $wgGroupPermissions[group]['edit'] setting, where group is the group whose editing rights you wish to manage. Apologies if this is mistaken advice!
