$user->setupSession(); to wfSetupSession();

According to Paracelsus, in MW 1.18, they changed the following code:

$user->setupSession();
$user->setCookies();

Will need to research this.

Not knowing mediawiki, there are two things that come to mind. Either use a version variable if MW provides one, or do a function_exists('wfSetupSession') and proceed from there. Do we know if $user->setCookies() also changed, probably to wfSetCookies()?

Also, is sm.org going to upgrade to 1.18, or is there a test installation somewhere? That would be the quickest way to solve this.

Well at least in 1.17 the method in the User class is as follows:

/**
 * @deprecated Use wfSetupSession().
 */
function SetupSession() {
    wfDeprecated( __METHOD__ );
    wfSetupSession();
}

So we should be able to safely replace this since it was finally removed.

Cookies have not changed.
