Hi,
I am looking for an extension to provide something like an 'AJAX edit box' on the pages in my wiki. I would like to add a tag like
<editBox>Please add your comment here</editBox>
Which would create a little text box in the page (rather like the 'reply' box that appears under emails in GMail). When the user added text into that box, the save button would appear, allowing them to save their contribution to the page directly on that page. Maybe 'Preview', 'Save Now' and 'Discard' to really mimic GMail.
The edit would appear above the edit box tags in the 'real' text of the page, allowing the user to add another edit.
Its crude, but it would be useful for sites that don't so much want user contribution as user feedback - more like a blog with 'comments' after each posting.
The box could sign / date the edits automatically for example.
I searched the list of AJAX extensions, and I didn't find what I was looking for. Is such an inline edit box too complex to make an extension for?
Cheers,
Dan.
I run a family of websites with a rather large variety of services. I would like to make these services all use the same username, password and (if possible) site cookie to make it easier for all of my users.
All of these services reside on the same server, and use the same SQL database server.
Has anyone accomplished this before? If so, how?
The other services we use are wordpress, Coppermine photo gallery, and we will be adding a forum package, a process for our students to authenticate to proquest and possibly other features.

The exact extension to use depends on the master authentication database. There're several for integration with common platforms, but you may need to create a new one. See http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/auth/SampleAuth.p...
