I just threw together a neat hack for MediaWiki that I thought I would share. 

On VizWorld.com’s Wiki I run the “AuthGeeklog” plugin, so that the usernames are shared between the two systems.  It works pretty nicely, so far.  The one problem is that if someone tries to create a new account in the Wiki, they can’t use it to login.  Only accounts created via GeekLog are valid.  This has caused only a few problems, but could create alot more now that the Wiki is really starting to get some content. 

So I did some research and hacked the following lines at the end of the LocalSettings.php file:

if (($_GET['title'] == “Special:Userlogin”) && ($_GET['type'] == “signup”)) {
    header( “Location: http://www.vizworld.com/users.php?mode=new” );
    exit;
}

Basically it takes all attempts to create a new account and redirects them to the VizWorld Account Creation page.  Simple and effective.
