I'm trying to write a script that will create a user in MediaWiki, so that I can run a batch job to import a series of users.
I'm using mediawiki-1.12.0.
I got this code from a forum, but it doesn't look like it works with 1.12 (it's for 1.13)
$name = 'Username'; #Username (MUST start with a capital letter)
$pass = 'password'; #Password (plaintext, will be hashed later down)
$email = 'email'; #Email (automatically gets confirmed after the creation process)
$path = "/path/to/mediawiki";
putenv( "MW_INSTALL_PATH={$path}" );
require_once( "{$path}/includes/WebStart.php" );
$pass = User::crypt( $pass );
$user = User::createNew( $name, array( 'password' => $pass, 'email' => $email ) );
$user->confirmEmail();
$user->saveSettings();
$ssUpdate = new SiteStatsUpdate( 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 );
$ssUpdate->doUpdate();
Thanks!
There's a createAndPromote
script in maintenance/
which creates user accounts and grants administrator rights. You could adapt this to remove the permissions portion.
Alternatively, you might take a look at the ImportUsers
extension.
I used this on Mediawiki 1.7, and it worked well for me:
#!/usr/bin/php
## Add a user to Mediawiki
<?php
$domain = 'example.com';
$mwpath = '/docs/www-wiki';
if ($argc < 3) {
die("Missing arguments.\n"
."Usage: $0 USER PASSWORD\n");
}
$user = $argv[1];
$pass = $argv[2];
print "Add user $user with password $pass [y/N]?\n";
$ans = fgets(STDIN,256);
if (! preg_match('/^[yY]/', $ans) ) {
print "Canceled.\n";
exit;
}
$user = ucfirst(strtolower($user)); // maybe unneeded, because handled in MW functions?
# Adapted from http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?9788-Create-new-user-in-database&p=42931&viewfull=1#post42931
$path = $mwpath;
putenv("MW_INSTALL_PATH={$path}");
#require_once ("{$path}/includes/WebStart.php"); // for version >= 1.14 ?
# My version 1.7 doesn't have WebStart.php.
# It seems to work by including the following lines found in index.php
# Some are probably not needed, but I don't want to do more testing
define( 'MEDIAWIKI', true );
require_once( './includes/Defines.php' );
require_once( './LocalSettings.php' );
require_once( 'includes/Setup.php' );
require_once( "includes/Wiki.php" );
$mediaWiki = new MediaWiki();
$mwuser=User::newFromName($user);
if (! is_object($mwuser)) {
die("Invalid user!\n");
}
$mwuser->addToDatabase(); // don't we need a return value to check?
$mwuser->setPassword( $pass );
$mwuser->setEmail( strtolower($user) . '@' . $domain );
$mwuser->confirmEmail();
#$mwuser->setRealName( $_POST["nome"] );
#$mwuser->addGroup($_POST["grupo"]);
$mwuser->saveSettings(); // no return value?
$ssUpdate = new SiteStatsUpdate( 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 );
$ssUpdate->doUpdate();
?>
I guess your problem was also the use of WebStart.php in your script, which didn't exist in your Mediawiki version.
