Online registration through API?

[Jo Mo]

Hello,

Is there any way to do online registration of a user through an API? I see APIs for login, logout etc, but don't see anything for registration. Do I need the Special block for that? If so, are there any examples around?

Regards

You currently can't register a new user through the API, and I don't
think it's a good idea to implement it either.

Interesting. The alternative will be for me to 'dress up' my mediawiki registration page so that it looks similar to the rest of my (flash based) UI. Then I'd do a pop up to that page or a forward to that page from my client to enable registration...

Is it easy to modify the front page of mediawiki, like changing background color, header images etc? Or will I need to do some php and screen scraping?

Regards

You don't need to modify the registration page. You can create a form
with the same fields and post it to the signup page (unless you're using
a captcha).
What would need to be customized is the "Ok, you're registered" page
(and the error messages).

Having your use case, it may be worth adding it.

For the record, there's an old proposal about how it could work at

Just make it an optional module, disabled by default (like edit API).

Hi,

There's one version for online registration here:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/branches/ApiEdit_Vodafone, see
/includes/api/ApiRegUser.php.  

It was functional by the time of the last update, although the option to
activate it from ApiMain.php is not implemented.

Regards,

Raquel
