I recently needed an integration of Dokuwiki with SMF (Simple Machines Forum). After some research i managed to get it done. Inspired by this thread.

I tested this with SMF 2.0 RC1.2 and DokuWiki 2009-02-14b.

1. Download and install both SMF and Dokuwiki. I separated them using a /forum and a /wiki directory.
2. Get the file smfauth.class.php from here and put it inside your wiki/inc/auth/ directory
3. Do the following changes in your smfauth.class.php file:

   find all instances of memberName and change to member_name
   find all instances of realName and change to real_name
   find all instances of emailAddress and change to email_address
   find all instances of groupName and change to group_name
   find all instances of additionalGroups and change to additional_groups
   find all instances of dateRegistered and change to date_registered
   find all instances of posterEmail and change to poster_email
   find all instances of ID_GROUP and change to id_group
   find all instances of ID_MEMBER and change to id_member

4. Edit the line in your smfauth.class.php file where it says “MODIFICATION REQUIRED” (Line 32), and include the absolute path to your forum/Settings.php file
5. Edit the file wiki/conf/local.php and change the setting for $conf['authtype'] to ’smfauth’
6. Edit line 78 in smfauth.class.php and do the following change:

   change
   AND (concat(',',u.additionalGroups,',') LIKE concat('%,',g.ID_GROUP,',%') OR u.ID_GROUP = g.ID_GROUP)";
   to
   AND (concat(',',u.additionalGroups,',') LIKE concat('%,',g.ID_GROUP,',%') OR u.ID_GROUP = g.ID_GROUP OR u.ID_POST_GROUP = g.ID_GROUP)";

7. Edit the file wiki/conf/local.php and change the setting for $conf['superuser'] to the name of the superuser group in SMF (@Administrator in german, i’d guess it’d be @Admin in the english version)
8. Add the following line to your wiki/conf/local.php file:

   $conf['auth']['mysql']['charset'] = 'utf8';

9. You should now be able to log in using your SMF superuser. Now add correct permissions for the group ‘Newbie’ (case sensitive) in your Dokuwiki access control

I think that’s it, i hope i didn’t forget anything. If you have any questions, feel free to comment.
