Yeah, I've got MediaWiki bridged to SMF for authentication, but I want to integrate the themes as well, where MediaWiki will utilize the themes from SMF. I've already figured out what I have to do, and it's going to be a real pain. I'm going to be writing new theme templates for both that will use common CSS for colors and graphics, and for things that are specific to SMF or MediaWiki, they will point to a specific CSS for that. If I use the same wrapper, colors, and graphics, I should be able to pull off something pretty nice. But it will be a lot of work doing both themes from scratch. Once I have the first one done, if I do the templates correctly, then I should be able to create new themes by changing only the CSS.
I've also got my CI setup using SMF Themes and CSS. When a user logs into the CI main page, the theme will change automatically to the theme selected in their SMF profile. I'll be completing the Ajax Chat theme integration sometime this week. (That is also integrated with the SMF database.)
When I finish fully integrating MediaWiki, SMF, Ajax Chat, and CI in this manner, then I plan on making a brand new "user profile" section that will be handled by CI, that will allow preferences to be set for SMF, MediaWiki, Chat, and the CI part all at once. Basically needing to do a "portal/CMS" with CI, with integrated MediaWiki, Chat, and SMF. I was considering integrating WordPress as well, which would make it quite a package when finished for basic social sites. I haven't really done anything in the past with theming WordPress, and not sure if that is a feasible goal, but I know the chat, wiki, and SMF can all use the same theme easily with my CI install.
