LoginByEmail is a MediaWiki extension.

Status for Mediawiki4Intranet distribution:

  • Inclusion date: 2013-12-03* Disabled in the default configuration
  • Included version: newest available
  • Improvement status: Created by MediaWiki4Intranet project

Usage

Just install. The extension will modify the standard MediaWiki login form allowing to use email in the "username:" field.

Installation

  • Apply the patch to MediaWiki code:
    cd <YOUR_WIKI_DIRECTORY>
    patch -p1 < extensions/LoginByEmail/LoginByEmail.diff
  • Include extension into your LocalSettings.php - add the line:
    require_once("$IP/extensions/LoginByEmail/LoginByEmail.php");
  • Optionally you can allow "wrong password" errors for email login with:
    $wgLoginByEmailDiscloseExistence = true;
    Please note it's a less secure behaviour because it allows to check if an arbitrary email is registered in your wiki.
