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;
