Like always, Im trying something Radical. I want to test out using my current wiki as a behind the scenes engine for a website.
Im trying to test making a more full blown social site that has a lot of wiki portions, but something that mediawiki will not allow to happen simply through skins/extensions.
I was thinking of using the API to get all the content I need from pages, history etc, but... Since this is all local access, I think doing posts to the API would be slower than just directly accessing it.
Is there php access to the API methods?
Is there a good way to get the content that the API provides without having to POST ot GET to the API?
Thanks, -Adam
Sorry, I believe I just found the answer
