I am trying to merge user data between IPB 1.3.1 and MediaWiki 1.5.

However, there are a couple things that I need to know.

1. How can I change the name of the session cookie used in MediaWiki.

- This value can be found in the localsettings or defaultsettings file.

2. Is there anywhere (like in the database) that MediaWiki stores the

session information for each user? - In the documentation folder the database schema is outlined, if in doubt look at the database.

3. Where can I make edits to force MediaWiki to add info to another

database also when registering a user? (if necessary, I can move the tables to the MediaWiki database, but I need to know how to make MediaWiki add info to another table) - try the documentation otherwise follow the code

People are much more willing to help when it can be seen that you have made some effort yourself; if you want to use this software it is worthwhile looking around the documentation and understanding how it works.

Thank you for your help. Just so that everyone knows, I did look around and could not find these things. I checked SpecialUserLogin.php and defaultsettings.php for these things, but could not find anything. However, I will check again. I was just hoping that maybe somebody knew the specific places where I could find this stuff, for example, the name of the variable for the session cookie (if it is in a variable). If anybody knows anything specific, please let me know. Thank you again for your help, shardsofmetal
