also if your collapsed tab disappears

remove from the MEDIAWIKIFORUM template

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var IMGDIR_MISC = BBURL + "/" + IMGDIR_MISC;
var IMGDIR_BUTTON = BBURL + "/" + IMGDIR_BUTTON;
// -->
</script>

there is no need for the BBURL any more, so defining IMGDIR_MISC = IMGDIR_MISC is just not needed and therefore can be removed

[crazyace]

its quite easy to fix.
It seems that the sidebar.css is not loaded in the MEDIAWIKIFORUM template.

replace the line below
{wiki:raw headinclude}

with
{vb:cssfile forumbits.css,forumhome.css,widgets.css,sidebar.cs s,options.css,tagcloud.css}

Thanks that fixed the side bar. Now for the bar across the top. That's broken also.

[Lord Doys]

I have also written (actually isolated from vbwikipro) an addon to link duscussion tabs to the forums (creating new thread if no discussion exists etc)
If there are more people wanting this feature let me know and i will try to see if i can put it up somewhere

for a working example see my signature

[IRJustman]

Has anyone used Liquid Threads with this addon? I'll be honest and say that I have not tried this extension in a "neat" environment yet (MediaWiki in its own environment, no integration).

What happens is that when I'm not logged in, I can expand threads as normal. However, once I'm logged in, I cannot expand threads. I can still view them via the "history" link, but I cannot view them in a "normal" mode.

If you need details, request a PM and I'll send all the particulars there.

The URL for LiquidThreads is http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LiquidThreads

Thanks.

--Ian.

UPDATE: The extension does work in "neat" 1.16.0 MediaWiki. Any ideas?

UPDATE 2: If you clear your preferences and set them afresh, you're good to go.

NB: I'm using an existing wiki that has been in operation for about three years which might be part of that problem.

@Lord Doys
How do you fix the bar across the top (abovebits in Mediawiki Template)

[Lord Doys]

@Lord Doys
How do you fix the bar across the top (abovebits in Mediawiki Template)

to make it float right again:

find in vbmediawikiforum.php (~line 955):
<ul class=\"popupgroup forumdisplaypopups\">" . $html . "

replace with
<ul class=\"popupgroup forumdisplaypopups\"style='float:right;'>" . $html . "

but to fix it to make them line up again...

the problem lies in the watch.icon css.. i dont have the time at the moment to figure out (didnt upgrade my live forums yet either)

play with these settings
/* Watch/Unwatch Icon Styling */
#ca-unwatch.icon a,
#ca-watch.icon a {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
outline: none;
display: block;
width: 26px;
height: 14px;
}
#ca-unwatch.icon a {
background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
background-position: -43px 60%;
}
#ca-watch.icon a {
background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
background-position: 5px 60%;
}
#ca-unwatch.icon a:hover {
background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
background-position: -67px 60%;
}
#ca-watch.icon a:hover {
background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
background-position: -19px 60%;
}
#ca-unwatch.icon a.loading,
#ca-watch.icon a.loading {
background-image: url(images/watch-icon-loading.gif);
background-position: center 60%;
}
#ca-unwatch.icon a span,
#ca-watch.icon a span {
display: none;
}

[Igel1]

Thanks for the Hint.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has a working version I can check out before installing for a client.

Thanks,

Wow!
I?m very interested in this. :)

[Darksky]

I think there's a severe security issue in case of shared PC.
If user makes logout from forum and then he go to the wiki homepage (i.e. www.yourdomain.com/youwiki/) then he is automatically logged in again.
This means that the LOG OUT procedure of vbulletin doesn't delete wiki cookie to or somethingelse.


Still no news about permission mess i posted 1-2 pages ago ?

[Gnoll]

awesomely i integrated different domains :)

Now Wiki's Search not working + Not sharing same cookies :/

Hi, I've a problem with this mod.
The wiki has a strange layout, here is a screenshot

EDIT: I've solved the problem with the sidebar, but I still have a problem with the top bar...

[Darksky]

I'm getting this error when trying to upload images to the wiki - I have managed to upload one image before but since then nothing has worked.

I confirm this issue. Together with change usergroup issue this makes the wiki not usable, unfortunately.

The plugin is very nice but need several key-fixes.

actually i managed to find the problem.

we had a server move / reinstall of php.. and it turned out GD was not enabled. (i discovered it when trying add an attachment to a post..)
after enabling GD again it works just fine

[Lord Doys]

ill see what i can do.. ill need to isolate some code.

No way. I tried to set ImageMagick use to false so that wiki uses the GD but nothing, still the same issue. I'm sure GD libs are installed and running because they are used by vbulletin.

yes, that is what i thought as well.. but turned out to be different :)
anyway, was just a tip :)

Do you have any suggestions for my problem?

[Darksky]

Is someone faced the problem that his Administrator/Burocrat account is not able to change user usergroup ? I need to promote some users to Administrator but i fail

[Lord Doys]

Do you have any suggestions for my problem?

i havnt done the 4.08 layout fixing yet, but i intent to do it soon since i also want some kind of SEO in the wiki pages..

but i got soo many other things to do as well ;)

[Lord Doys]

Is someone faced the problem that his Administrator/Burocrat account is not able to change user usergroup ? I need to promote some users to Administrator but i fail

no not really.. i am able to move them normally, are you getting an error?

[tiamattia]

Thanks for the answer, I like this mod very much!! :)

[Darksky]

No way. I tried to set ImageMagick use to false so that wiki uses the GD but nothing, still the same issue. I'm sure GD libs are installed and running because they are used by vbulletin.

HUmm it seems that your tips helped, maybe. I activated ImageMagick and now i can upload files, even if the resizing files because the sistem say me:

Error in thumbnail creation: /pathtowebroot/nwiki/bin/ulimit4.sh: line 4: usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory

I hope that wiki do not want read access on that file, but executing is enough :D

[Darksky]

no not really.. i am able to move them normally, are you getting an error?

err...i don't know what happened but now....it works... :confused:

[Darksky]

Ok, fixed also the thumbnail problem. I forgot the / at start of convert path.

[Darksky]

This seems a never ending story.

I can set Wiki Administrator user groups for a vbulletin users but it seems that after some minutes he looes the Administrator user groups. maybe the plugin check costantly that the wiki user groups corresponds to the vbulletin groups ?

EDIT: nevermind. It seems that what in wiki english is called "sysop", in wiki italian is called "amministratore" that is the italian transaltion for "administrator". Sorry.

[Mukashi]

Has this mod been abandoned? bepe doesn't seem to have posted for quite some time. =/ I was hoping with the recent advanced in both MediaWiki and vB4, maybe some solution might have been found to the link via user ID idea.

[Lord Doys]

disabling the mod and using the wiki standalone rectifies this error so it has to be an issue with how the mod is handling sessions

suddenly i am getting this errors as well.. uploaded before, relogging doesnt work anymore

[wampforum]

HI,
installed this and works pretty good but hade a few quesiotns:
I can get the wiki logo area to show on integrated skin only on forum default.
Is it possible to remove the vbulletin navbar on wiki pages (just so it shows the vbulletin log in area pluse header?
Also is it possible to make the wiki display a different logo in the header to the usual main logoo I have?
also the forum index shows this: <span style="display:none">Main Page</span>

great mod by the way
thanks

[SwollenCranium]

I'd like to know as well. Mod author has not been active since August.

I'd like to donate $$ to this project if I find it to my liking but will not even download/install if its dead in the water.


:down:

[BRimagination]

This is the great mod, but unfortunately, there are many bugs that make using the integration quite annoying for users. For one, editing wiki constantly gives session errors which requires the edit to be submitted twice. Also, preferences require an edit to be done before it will register properly. There is also problems with formatting that the wiki uses that isn't friendly with the integrated skins. Additionally, the current integration causes problems with the forum and wiki user databases that sometime will delete users or require them to reset passwords.

I would love to use this mod more, but if there isn't an update soon, I will be forced to uninstall and find another forum wiki solution. I really hope it doesn't come to this.

What bugs? I have it installed and integrated on a clients site and so far it seems fine. I am in the process of adding content but I have not encountered any problems really so far.

[Cadellin]

I've been using this mod successfully since launch however now I would ideally like to add a second mediawiki installation to my site.

Can the mod support more than one installation?

[BRimagination]

Rich

Which version of VBulletin are you using? And did you use this mod from the beginning of your site or integrated with a pre-existing. I'm using VBulletin 4.0.7 and I'm getting a lot of the issues that others have stated in the thread after the last update for this mod. Granted, my colleagues and I fixed a lot of the minor issues, but I'm still getting problems such as session loss errors and numerous formatting issues when using the integrated skins. Also the search function for the forum/wiki part for the integration does not update nor search properly.

None of these problems apparent when we disable the mod and only appear when enabled.

Hello,

i get this failure when i try to post some articles in the wiki!


Your edit has been rejected because your client mangled the punctuation characters in the edit token. The edit has been rejected to prevent corruption of the page text. This sometimes happens when you are using a buggy web-based anonymous proxy service.

Any Ideas??

rtfm? http://bepe80.com/vbmediawiki/#rejected

[apokphp]

My layout is all screwy after a fresh install. See attached, any ideas?

That's the default vb4.0 skin too.

[TRS_Chris]

I was able to fix the formatting by:

Change :
{vb:cssfile forumbits.css,forumhome.css,forumdisplay.css,threa dlist.css}

To:
{vb:cssfile forumbits.css,forumhome.css,widgets.css,sidebar.cs s,options.css,tagcloud.css,for umdisplay.css,threadlist.css}

Then after that insert the contents of main-ltr.css into the template between <style> tags. Default location: /wiki/skins/vbmediawikiforum

[apokphp]

I cannot find "main-ltr.css" anywhere. Is that a template itself?

I made the first change you recommended...and that seems to have done the trick. What does the 2nd change do?

[TRS_Chris]

In the vbmediawiki zip file it's in release/wiki_upload/skins/vbmediawikiforum

It's just the css stuff that's needed. I tried including it as a css file, but that broke the page, so I just copied and pasted the contents in as a style tag. I'm sure someone else will come up with a better solution.

[Travis-Mc]

Add me the list of people who like to find out it this has been abandoned.... It looked promising.. but not so much anymore..

[NovoCiv]

And I would like to know what the error is with my problems. How is this still listed as Supported?

[apokphp]

vb.org is notorious for not updating what is supported and what isn't. It's one thing I really dislike about the organization and management of this site. It is very misleading to its members.

[Athena1984]

Aww, it looks like I will have to uninstall it then. :(

[KrU$ty]

to get back the missing CSS statements, just copy the same part from FORUMHOME into the MEDIAWIKIFORUM template

that should do it

Would you mind explaining this with a little more depth? Not quite sure what i am suposed to take from FORUMHOME nor am i sure where i should put it in MEDIAWIKIFORUM.

Everything else you said regarding the editing of the product xml worked.

Cheers.

[zews]

I really hope this mod will be supported again. I am willing to donate if bepe develops this great mod even more.

[MoreLinux]

The easiest way to get this super mod working again is the following:

Sidebar: To get the sidebar working again. In the template MEDIAWIKIFORUM find the line with the text {wiki:raw headinclude} Below this line insert the following text {vb:cssfile forumbits.css,forumhome.css,widgets.css,sidebar.cs s,options.css,tagcloud.css}

The nice navigation bar is missing many CSS elements. This is due to a mayor in the forumdisplay.css file. The best way to fix this to add the following code to you additional.css file.
/* MediaWiki fix */

When i add the line

{vb:cssfile forumbits.css,forumhome.css,widgets.css,sidebar.cs s,options.css,tagcloud.css}

to WIKIFORUMHOME I get an error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Unable to find a class to validate: vB_TemplateParser_Curlycssfile' in /home/sylithr/public_html/GALACTICCONTROL.COM/includes/class_template_parser.php:1083 Stack trace: #0 /home/sylithr/public_html/GALACTICCONTROL.COM/includes/class_template_parser.php(1019): vB_TemplateParser->validate_curly(Object(vB_CurlyNode), Array) #1 /home/sylithr/public_html/GALACTICCONTROL.COM/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(2863): vB_TemplateParser->validate(Array) #2 /home/sylithr/public_html/GALACTICCONTROL.COM/admincp/template.php(2121): compile_template('??{vb:stylevar ...') #3 {main} thrown in /home/sylithr/public_html/GALACTICCONTROL.COM/includes/class_template_parser.php on line 1083The other CSS elements in additional.css work fine though.

<vb:else />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vbcsspath}forumbits.css,forumhome.css,tagcloud.css" />

Now i just need ot get it working with VBa

@KrU$ty: Looking at GALACTICCONTROL.COM you are running VB4.0.3, so that might the problem. I'm running VB4.1.0pl2 and fixed the broken vbMediaWiki for that version.

Where can I find the additional.css - file ?

[hollosch]

I have .htaccess-files in ../forum and ../wiki
I posted to both files "php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off" in the top of the files and it doesn't work. what may be the problem ?

thx

[Daryn]

So are there any plans to update this with all the mentioned fixes?

[MoreLinux]

Where can I find the additional.css - file ?The file isn't on the file system. It's a VB template. In the VB4 Admin Control Panel => Styles and Templates => Search in Templates for the "additional.css" file.

The file isn't on the file system. It's a VB template. In the VB4 Admin Control Panel => Styles and Templates => Search in Templates for the "additional.css" file.

Nobody else the same problem or a solution ???

[FreshFroot]

Same here. Wondering if a 3.8 version will be made.

I assume there isn't too much coding involved.

[pjkcards]

How does this merge accounts? How do I login to my wiki account if I had a different username on the forum and wiki? How does one register for the wiki?

Thanks

I would read the directions but the coder's site is "OOS."

[mmacrypt]

is this mod actually working for some? I'm getting the same error previously posted twice but never address, it's most likely that I just did something stupid, this is one of the harder mods I've installed to be honest. But I guess I'm curious if I get past this first hurdle, will there just be a ton more that I'm going to have to figure out. It doesn't look like the author of this mod and been on since Aug. so I just don't want to waste too much time digging in versus finding another option.
Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home6/mmacrypt/public_html/w/includes/vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin.php on line 9

Thanks for any input guys.

[Mukashi]

It's really a pity that this mod seems to have been abandoned. If it's not working on the latest vB4, and given that the mod author and his site seem to have vanished, is anyone up to the challenge of re-writing this for the latest version of both vB and Mediawiki? Too many of us are being left high and dry here.

[NovoCiv]

I PM'ed mmacrypt with the solution to his problem. (Rather, he messaged me and I responded).

It's working for me but I'm still on 4.0.5 (I've edited too many files to my liking, an upgrade would revert too many things).

Yes. The solution was to move the entire mediawiki directory inside the forums directory.

/public_html/forums/wiki/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php

In localsettings my install path is as follows:
define( "VB_INSTALL_PATH", "/home/novociv1/public_html/forums");
require_once( "$IP/includes/vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin.php" );

I believe my issue had to do with the fact that we run at forums.novociv.com but the code was trying to work with novociv.com/forums.

I PM'ed mmacrypt with the solution to his problem. (Rather, he messaged me and I responded).

It's working for me but I'm still on 4.0.5 (I've edited too many files to my liking, an upgrade would revert too many things).

Thank You NovoCiy, I will give it a shot but it sounds like it may just be too many battles for me to win as I'm not the best at this stuff.

the problem we experience atm on saving a page:
Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still does not work, try logging out and logging back in.

if you press save again, it works, just not the first time :-/
also, page deletion does not work.

I get these bugs too. No idea how to fix it. I think I just remove pages from the database when I want to delete them.

I found creating/deleting a test page, then try deleting the page again works.

[mmacrypt]

Thanks for the help NovoCiv but I think I'm going to just drop this one. You tips didn't work for me and as this mod seems kinda dead, I could be chasing it for a while.

But again, thank you Novo.

Trouble with uninstalling and solution here (http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?14384-MediaWiki-vBulletin-Bridge&p=53258&viewfull=1#post53258):
I host a site which had run this mod, but we had been running into too many issues, like having to save again or log out then in again. We have since removed this modification, but the users who created accounts when we started using this mod are having trouble logging in. How do you fix those accounts? They're missing several bits of information in the user table, not the least of which being their e-mail addresses (easily taken care of) and passwords (eh, semi-easily taken care of). Even when I populate the columns for password and e-mail, the user cannot log in. I checked and rechecked the hashing needed to create the password, including against a known-working account, my own. Still no dice. Any ideas?
I have managed to get things working again. I found that I needed to set the user_email_authenticated column.

I am having another issue. I have had a forum and a wiki separate for quite awhile. I just installed them plugin. How can a user signin to the wiki using their old account? It is possible they had different usernames on the wiki. Is there a way I can turnoff the single-signon feature but leave everything else the same?

I have run the init counters, but I am getting database errors similar to this:

How do I uninstall this product?

[S3Ponline]

awesome mod!

[Scan Cape Cod]

How do I uninstall this product?

Given that it appears that this has been abandoned, which is unfortunate but is also the case with many of these wonderful mods (hopefully the coder is actually ok, not ill, etc.) could someone if possible come up with a SAFE way to properly uninstall this modification?

Given that vBulletin is now several versions beyond 4.07 it would be nice to be able to upgrade to the latest version. It appears the only solution to keep both vBulletin and MediaWiki up to date is to remove this mod.

If someone had the time to provide a brief tutorial it would be appreciated. I would normally reverse the installation procedure to do so and maybe that is the correct thing to do, but I am concerned for the integrity of my wiki, which now has an astronomical amount of data in it (yes it's backed up).

Thanks in advance.

[Scan Cape Cod]

Followup: for anyone else considering the removal of this, it is as many of you expected (forgive me, I am not a coder nor do I play one on TV) very easy and basically a reversal of the installation.

1. Uninstall the plug-in.
2. Remove the two added lines to localsettings.php
3. Remove all associated files.
4. You're back in business with a standalone Wiki.

I'm still looking at the impact on username/passwords right now, but I would "think" that it would leave all of the data from vBulletin in there. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm just glad I could "de-integrate" without issue.

[SpankMe]

I've just upgraded to vB 4.1.2 and vbMediaWiki Vector is still working fine for me. Haven't made any changes.

[wampforum]

I wonder if anyone can help?
I have the wiki set up and running and I did have an rss widget feeding into my vbulletin cms pulling content from the wiki feeds. All was fine then some error with the host turned magic quotes back on and even though they have been turned back off the widgets havent worked since.
The widgets work fine with any other feeds I try and the wiki feeds themselves work fine in other widgest or readers - they just wont work together with this feed. I just dont understand what the issue is if the feed is good and the widget is also.

Thank you so much Mnemonic76!! I have been looking for those instructions for a while.

Allow me to ask a question to those who already have installed this vbMediaWiki Vector successfully: What does this means:

Replace "<<placeholder>>" by the relative path to your vBulletin installation
That is on the manual on section 4.4.1 (or just here: http://www.qtcentre.org/wiki/vbmediawiki/#wiki)

Thank you in advance of your helpful answer(s)

[Stubbed]

^-- Really?
Replace "<<placeholder>>" by the relative path to your vBulletin installation. Ensure you do not add a trailing slash!It says it right there. Something like "/var/www/site/forum" or "../forum/" or what ever suits in your installation.

[Cyamia]

^-- Really?
It says it right there. Something like "/var/www/site/forum" or "../forum/" or what ever suits in your installation.

Thank you so much. I will go with "../forum"
But I do not think we put the "/" at the end as you have mentioned

I found a way to disable magic quotes if your server fails when adding the codes to the .htaccess ... but it takes time, you need to create a php.ini file that only contains this line:

magic_quotes_gpc = Off

And need to store the file in every folder that is contained in the mod... this will disable the magic quotes locally ...

[Arcanus]

I was very happy to find this plugin but I've had a slight problem with spam. There are somehow users able to register for the wiki without being a member of my vbulletin board. Is there a way to block edits from any user not in vBulletin?

Hi,

While logged into the forum, a username doesn't show in the Wiki, just my IP, as if I were a random user. I can't get into user preferences either.

Here's my situation

I'm running MediaWiki 1.13.2
VB3.87
The bridge is MMOG Wiki 2.2.0
and my server is running MySQL version 5.0.92-community & PHP version 5.2.17

I can't upgrade to the newest version of MediaWiki because it was a more recent MYSQL. My server guy wants to wait to the next version of MYSQL because he says a lot of the applications running on the server will have issues.

I would like to upgrade to VB4 -- but I can't lose my Wiki.

Has anyone been in this same situation -- and were you able to fix it?

[Isaibed]

i have a little problem, my problem is the Sidebar, atm its not a side bar, its under the content, but i want the sidebar on the right side, like the forum, how can i do that?

[DaffyDuck]

I take it that this mod has been orphaned / abandoned, seeing as how the manual and screenshot links go to a server that is no longer operational?

[iamacyborg]

Daffy, it's working perfectly for me on the latest version of vB 4 and Mediawiki.
The manual will automatically be installed on your site when you install the mod, so it's no problem.
You can see it working here: http://www.hellgateforums.com/wiki

[Mukashi]

Even if it's working currently, without an active developer it'd be a bit dangerous to install it, given that you might be put in a situation of having to decide between site security and a working wiki.

[stephen1976]

Anyone got instruction on how to install this i dont have any wiki on my site yet

[nima6]

Im installing this mod on my forums and will report the result.

here is a working link to the manual: http://wamp-forum.com/wiki/skins/vbmediawiki/

[nima6]

Oh boy, i love this mod. Im just getting started with it but its absolutely amazing if you have already have an active wiki

If you dont have a wiki, whats the hold up?

[ndahiya]

I upgraded to Mediawiki 1.17 and vbulletin 4.1.5 - integration still works.

See post 300 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2136317&postcount=300 ) and also post 301 for some discussion on style integration.


separately, for those having issues (previously) with uploading images / thumbnails, it had something to do with a imagemagick bug. this is the workaround i use in LocalSettings.php - seems to work fine.

# $wgUseImageMagick = true;
# $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";
$wgCustomConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert -resize %wx%h %s %d";

it just states "you are not logged in" but no matter how often a login is tryed.. in the board success in the wiki still not logged in.

[pjkcards]

Awesome mod, too bad it isn't supported. I'd certainly pay for it.

Anyways, anyone know which template to modify to add an image to the sidebar. It doesn't look like monobook.php is the correct one. Thanks

[Vincinzerei]

got it running. Its important to NOT use any restrictions at the install and delete them out of the LocalSettings.php if they exist there. isnt in the manual.. took me 5 days to realize the problem ;)

Got it running with 4.1.5 and mediawiki 1.17, not bad for an unsupported (abandoned?) Product.

I've upgraded to vB 4.1.7 & MediaWiki 1.17.0 and it's works fine. In fact it works better. I no longer have to click twice to save edits or move/delete pages.

[Flightbase]

Just upgraded to vb 4.1.7
As in 4.1.0 PL2 image uploads do not work at all. In 4.1.0 PL2 some usergroups could not upload, now everyone using firefox can upload. IE, chrome, Safari and Opera are not working, getting the error:

Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in.

I tried the common fixes like:

Check if /var/lib/php5 is writable and not readable for user and world ( # chmod 733 /var/lib/php5 )
Check to see if your session.save_path value in php.ini is valid and writable to the webserver - PHP configuration.
Check to see if there is enough disk space.

After making changes restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

If you use memcached and enable $wgSessionsInMemcached, make sure that memcached is really working.

Any tips, why FF ist working, all other browsers don`t?

greets, Nik

Hi Bepe,

nice Mod, thank you!

I?ve got a problem with usernames.
German names often contain umlaute (?, ?, ?).

The forum does not run on UTF8.
Because of the hugh number of users and threads it is not convenient to modify the forum into UTF8.
Do you have a solution?

Vbulletin 4.0.7

Thanks in advance

Important: This (finally) has stopped working with Mediawiki 1.18 .

works with vb 4.1.9 and Mediawiki 1.17 . but upgrading to MW1.18 breaks a bunch of stuff. login still works, but skin integration is a problem, advanced edit toolbar is not visible etc... I am back to MW 1.17 for now...

[NetTraptor]

disabling the mod and using the wiki standalone rectifies this error so it has to be an issue with how the mod is handling sessions

This is a session problem. I have not found a way to solve it not even after adding various upload extensions to the wiki (I was expecting another plugin uses different methods) or even after adding session_save_path to scripts.

If you turn the plugin off then all works fine with the wiki.

Even looked around on the net to see if their is a working installation that can upload files to the wiki. I found nothing since some of the forums restrict edits before you do a certain amount of post while the ones that are open to edits have the same exact problem. After this I consider this plugin broken. The upload feature in a wiki is essential

It's a shame to have such an excellent integration script that brakes wiki uploads :(

I installed this mod last weekend and got wiki uploads working just fine on my side (http://www.theforumsa.co.za/wiki/index.php/Test_page). I'm using Mediawiki 1.17.2 and vBulletin 4.1.10

Have you disabled magic_quotes in php? Trying to do anything with the wiki was hell until I got that setting sorted out.

I have to say this is one impressive mod. It may need a little tweaking here and there to clean things up and get everything working as advertised, but it really is 95% there. Bepe, I don't know where you've gone, but I really appreciate what you've put together here. It must have been a pile of work...

I realize this mod doesn't get support from its creator anymore, but maybe one of you guys can help me. I've got everything installed, and it looks fine. However, the program is not linking up user names (i.e. creating a matching account from vB to Media wiki). Any ideas for a fix?

[lawiki]

this is amazing stuff, just what I needed.
I have added this and it seems to work but have 2 questions

1) I have a rather large base of users in mediawiki, how can I add these to the vbull system
2) I do not get the WIKI link in the navbar at all

[lawiki]

I have fixed above issues, but still have some problems.

1) Mainly I can not edit the wiki, as any user.
I have made sure the :can login: option is selected for the right user-groups, and have edited my localsettings.php to make sure nothing is blocking this,

2) in the wiki VBMEDIAWIKI location, when I click on ADMIN TOOLS, I get :** Access denied! ***:

3) Same area I try to go to DIAGNOSTICS and I get

1 of 7: Checking MediaWiki Installation

Fatal error: Class 'SiteConfiguration' not found in /home/lawiki/public_html/includes/DefaultSettings.php on line 32

Can someone please have a look? Our wiki is rather large and the vbulletin integration is just what we needed to get some more community to it.

[nima6]

I have a problem with the MediaWiki pages showing up in VBulletin search results. First, the search doesn't always return the best results. More importantly though, the links to the MediaWiki pages are not the ShortURL (SEO friendly) ones that I've defined in that platform.

Basically the search result in VB is creating a lot of links that shouldnt be there. How can I fix the URL for MediaWiki pages showing up in VB search results?

The installation manual links dont seem to be working. Anyone know where i can find them?

[nima6]

I have updated bepe's mod to work on vB 4.1.12 and MediaWiki 1.19.

I have tested on a clean install of the above versions as well as two of my sites that use this mod after updating them to the above versions and all seems to work ok.

The original mod didn't quite work for me but this one did.
Thanks

[Flightbase]

uhh, mine works perfectly with this mod...

using which versions of vbulletin and mediawiki?
we`re having big problems with uploading images (session invalid), usernames with ???(forum ist NOT in utf-8), and some smaller glitches.

i think converting the forum to utf-8 would be an option - but the efford seems mighty.

I am using vbulletin 4.1 and mediawiki 1.19
its working to perfection, make sure you READ all the posts as someone posted a fixed version on page 27, also a link to a working manual.

[lawiki]

The only question I have,

How can I change "wiki" to "something else" and put WIKI first and FORUM second?

[ndahiya]

I have fixed above issues, but still have some problems.

1) Mainly I can not edit the wiki, as any user.
I have made sure the :can login: option is selected for the right user-groups, and have edited my localsettings.php to make sure nothing is blocking this,

2) in the wiki VBMEDIAWIKI location, when I click on ADMIN TOOLS, I get :** Access denied! ***:

3) Same area I try to go to DIAGNOSTICS and I get

1 of 7: Checking MediaWiki Installation

Fatal error: Class 'SiteConfiguration' not found in /home/lawiki/public_html/includes/DefaultSettings.php on line 32



I am now on vb 4.2 patch 2 and mediawiki 1.19.2

1. the edit permission issue: it appears to be a problem (in vb 4.2 only or other versions also?) due to token issues. For some reason, the token is not being created for "new" wiki users.

one fix that has worked for me is to run: php resetUserTokens.php in wiki/maintenance/
I have create a updated version resetUserTokensNull.php that only sets the tokens for users who do not have one. And i set it up as a cron job every hour... This is the best solution i can find so far.

2. and 3. the diagnostics /admin tools appears to be broken for good.


There seems to be another issue with the way caching is being done in SpankMe's version. Memcached cache performance has falled from close to 100% to ~75% (that is a HUGE difference). Not sure why.

Lastly: for not-logged-in users, instead of login at the top right of the wiki (using the Vector skin), see this
&lt;0&gt; Back to the Forum where the &lt... links to the logout link...



SpankMe? : Please create this mod as a new thread as it has undergone so many changes.

Looks like something is messed up with my value for "forumspath"...

Can somebody gives some example of the right path?

My forum is www.mydomain.com and my wiki is www.mydomain/wiki/

There are no errors...nothing...the diagnostics stopped at point 3

Hi guys,

Here is an updated version to SpankMe's version (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2326856&postcount=392) with some fixes and one that is working with VB 4.2 PL3 and Mediawiki 1.20.2 .

You can access the manual and diagnostics at www.YourSite.com/YourWiki/vbmediawiki/

** To avoid the edit permissions issue, navigate to your wiki/maintenance/ directory
and run :
php resetUserTokens.php

Alternatively, upload the attached resetUserTokensNull.php to the wiki-maintenance directory (it only sets the tokens for users who do not have one - much faster). And set it up as a cron job every hour... This is (still) the best solution I've found so far.


Installation instructions:
1. Upload the wiki_upload files to the wiki folder, and the forum_upload files to the forums folder.
2. Import the product in vbulletin.
3. Set the variables in Settings --> Options --> vBulletin Mediawiki.
4. Grant permissions to various usergroups.
5. Add tab to the wiki under Settings-->Navigation Manager. Set the "Tab scripts" field to "mediawiki".

Release Notes:
Version 1.1 (21 Jan 13):
* The diagnostics page is fixed.
* The navigation bit (login and logout links) in the Vector skin is fixed. <-- If you use the vector skin with memcached, this improved my cache efficiency meaningfully (suspect because how the login/logout link was created for not-logged in users).

Version 1.2 (2 Feb 13):
* Upgrade instructions: upload files, upgrade product using XML file.
* Support for short URLs. You MUST update the wiki path if you install this version. The previous version works fine, except that the sitemap (and other links to the wiki) create by vbulletin refers to the old style links.
Now, Instead of specifying the wiki path as www.SITE.com/YourWiki (no trailing slash), you now should enter it as www.SITE.com/YourWiki/index.php?title= OR www.SITE.com/ShortURL/ (with trailing slash).
* For more on mediawiki short URLs, see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache or http://shorturls.redwerks.org/ .

Version 1.32 (13 Feb 13): (also changes from 1.30, 1.31):
* Upgrade instructions: upload files, upgrade product using XML file.
* Wiki submenus show in integrated skins.
* Loss of session data errors should be fixed.
* Reduced queries for logged-in users.
* Fixed issue with diagnostics page (likely linked with a apc bug).

Thank you - i will try this at weekend on my vB 4.2 and MW 1.16...

[bzcomputers]

I'm going to try and tackle installing this shortly also.

Just one question for now. In reading through this thread before I believe I came across issues mentioned about spaces within a "username" like "Bill Smith". Is this still something that is still causing issues in the unified login between vb and MediaWiki?

[fernas]

Hi, I'm having a problem with WikiEditor. I already installed the correct extension on my MediaWiki 1.20.2 but the editor doesn't show when I'm using forum skin. When I use vector skin all is working fine.

Anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks in advance :D

Hi fernas,

i am able to see the editor in all skins on my installation. for some reason, i am unable to see the wikieditor toolbar in any of the skins, but suspect that is an issue with mediawiki/javascript rather than the skin.

the stupid suggestion is to delete all history/cookies and do it again. also if you are using APC with stat=0, you might like to flush apc as well.

i have a probs. I install the files from forum_upload to vbull->forum path and the wiki -> wiki path, and the xml addon was ok. And i have made an new navtab like ->wiki etc.

Updated new version of file in Post 421 ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2398436&postcount=421 ) . Unclear why the error appeared, but should be ok now!

[tomtom1984]

Hi ndahiya,

the error was a mistake of myself. i forgot the localsettings.php to change. At the moment all right, but 3 things are not so beauty.

If i click on the wiki button, i see the "forum button" navbar as selected. How can i switch that is highlight to the wiki button?

Second little prob, if i logged me into vbull, then changed the wiki navi from vbull style to wiki style.

Thrird prob, where is the options?

If you have soltutions about that i am very happy ;-)

Try here: http://shorturls.redwerks.org/
Works fine for me. One issue I am trying to fix is that the mod still links to w/index.php?title=XYZ type urls instead of /home/XYZ. (works fine though, and after the first click, goes back to the short URLs.)

Super! It works perfectly.

So, one problem still exists with the highlight / selected navbar, if i push the button "wiki" it doesnt selected that, but the "forum" button is then highlight/seleceted with silver color.
How can i change that in css/php/template?

Hi.

I've been looking around for active installation instructions for VBMWv 1.2 but can't find any so far, and I've checked the download as well. The links above are not working for me and I am licensed and can download other stuff here. I bought vBulletin with the main intention being of integrating some kind of wiki. So finding this post made my month!

Can someone point me in the right direction of the installation instructions. Thanks very much.

As a side note I am wondering if Semantic Media Wiki can be added on to VBMWv.

tomtom1984: In the navigation manager in vbulletin admincp,
select the wiki tab options, and under Tab Scripts enter "mediawiki" (without the ").

The next release should have working submenus.

I'm in the process of setting up a shiny new website with vBulletin 4.0.2, and MediaWiki 1.20.0with Semantic 1.8.0.2. No user accounts to get in the way yet.

My plan is to set up the Wiki to be the primary purpose of the website, with the forum to be secondary. Since this is an add-on domain on my account, I would like the wiki to run from the wikidomain.com directory, and the forum to run from wikidomain.com/forums/ directory.

Will this arrangment cause any problems for this vbMediaWiki mod to work? Will it cause any problems with the cookies?

Thanks!

Edited to add: should I install the new vb forum database in the existing mediawiki database, or should I keep them separate?

so long as they are on the same domain, different folders should be fine so long as you set the paths.
i have them setup in different databases, has not been a problem. you probably want to keep them separate anyway, as it is cleaner to manage updates etc, also avoid the risk that some tables be of same names.

Odd behavior.
The function should not differentiate between type of accounts anyway. $user is got from vb, so for some reason vb is not setting the variable right. What version of PHP are you using ? VB 4.2 is not compatible with php 5.4 . also this works with mediawiki 1.20 or higher.


1. check the version of php/mediawiki.
2. Delete all cookies/history an server cache (APC if any).
3. run diagnostics in vbmediawiki and see if you get clean bill of health.
4. Try a clean login into the other user account. while this should NOT cause this error, check if the other user has permissions in usergroup permissions.


let us know how it goes.

On the main MediaWiki page the path shows as:
http://www.xxx.com/forum/http://www.xxx.com/forum/cron.php?rand=1364440975

(domain name substituted for xxx's above)

5. Add tab to the wiki under Settings-->Navigation Manager. Set the "Tab scripts" field to "mediawiki".

I mean navtab men?

this should not by itself be a issue. the cron would be run from other pages and no tasks should be unfinished. not sure why the problem occurs though.

What happens when vB users who have usernames with spaces in them try to edit on mediawiki, which from what I can tell from the information posted does not recognize spaces?

its unclear... you might like to install and test? the other option is to try and convert the vb usernames to one without a space and then set a regexp in vb to disallow space.

Hi guys,

Here is an updated version to SpankMe's version (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2326856&postcount=392) with some fixes and one that is working with VB 4.2 PL3 and Mediawiki 1.20.2 .

You can access the manual and diagnostics at www.YourSite.com/YourWiki/vbmediawiki/

** To avoid the edit permissions issue, navigate to your wiki/maintenance/ directory
and run :
php resetUserTokens.php

Alternatively, upload the attached resetUserTokensNull.php to the wiki-maintenance directory (it only sets the tokens for users who do not have one - much faster). And set it up as a cron job every hour... This is (still) the best solution I've found so far.


Installation instructions:
1. Upload the wiki_upload files to the wiki folder, and the forum_upload files to the forums folder.
2. Import the product in vbulletin.
3. Set the variables in Settings --> Options --> vBulletin Mediawiki.
4. Grant permissions to various usergroups.
5. Add tab to the wiki under Settings-->Navigation Manager. Set the "Tab scripts" field to "mediawiki".

Release Notes:
Version 1.1 (21 Jan 13):
* The diagnostics page is fixed.
* The navigation bit (login and logout links) in the Vector skin is fixed. <-- If you use the vector skin with memcached, this improved my cache efficiency meaningfully (suspect because how the login/logout link was created for not-logged in users).

Version 1.2 (2 Feb 13):
* Upgrade instructions: upload files, upgrade product using XML file.
* Support for short URLs. You MUST update the wiki path if you install this version. The previous version works fine, except that the sitemap (and other links to the wiki) create by vbulletin refers to the old style links.
Now, Instead of specifying the wiki path as www.SITE.com/YourWiki (no trailing slash), you now should enter it as www.SITE.com/YourWiki/index.php?title= OR www.SITE.com/ShortURL/ (with trailing slash).
* For more on mediawiki short URLs, see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache or http://shorturls.redwerks.org/ .

Version 1.32 (13 Feb 13): (also changes from 1.30, 1.31):
* Upgrade instructions: upload files, upgrade product using XML file.
* Wiki submenus show in integrated skins.
* Loss of session data errors should be fixed.
* Reduced queries for logged-in users.
* Fixed issue with diagnostics page (likely linked with a apc bug).

Thanks, sadly I've got some problems with this because the integration works, but as Admin/User I'm not logged in, I can only see my IP as User, also the diagnostics-script stuck on "3 of 7: Checking Forum Path"

no clue really. looks like something is wrong with the installation. delete all cookies before testing and see if it reoccurs.
a remove/reinstall might help? also remember to set permissions for usergroups.

[Elenna]

Thank you very much for the update, ndahiya! My host doesn't have the new version of MySQL, so I can't run MediaWiki 1.20. I installed 1.19 and tried your updated version and it works wonderfully on vBulletin 4.20.

After deactivating the vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin-extension the debug-menu goes til: 5 of 7: Checking Wiki db connection

Re-Installed serveral times :/

I upgraded from vBulletin 4.1.12 to 4.2.1 and included an upgrade to v. 1.32 without problems.

Nice job ndahiya! Whatever you need to continue to keep it supported let us know, it's a great feature.

[daviet]

Any ideas for new features?

1. wiki changes included in the Activity Stream
2. vbulletin 5 integration

I saw ndahiya did some optimization, perhaps a review of anything else that can be done to improve the speed. For logged-in users, the initial page load seems to be slightly slow for me still.

[MoreLinux]

vBulletin 4.2.1 and vbMediaWiki 1.32 work like a charm on my board.

On the test site I'm using, spaces in usernames don't appear to cause a problem.

However, this is based on a grand sample of 1... and I haven't yet tried other disallowed characters.

I've noticed I'm getting crawl errors from Google for every user's profile page within MediaWiki.
They show like this:

http://www.XXX.com/forum/www.XXX.com/wiki/User:user1
http://www.XXX.com/forum/www.XXX.com/wiki/User:user2


It says it is coming from a link in the vB members profile page linking to the MediaWiki member profile page.

[Slipperyduck]

I'm also having a problem, having setup successfully, I can login with my default created sysop and edit as necessary, but my Integration, users attempting to connect (they are in the sysop and bureaucrat group) don't connect as a User, rather as their IP Address.

It's very strange as my sysop user account logs in from the same forum and comes across as a user and NOT an IP address. Very confused. I'm assuming it will be related to the Tokens somehow, but just need to figure out how/why.

--EDIT:
I've just been looking at the mw_users in the Database, the USERNAME does come across correctly, however the user is reported as being IP Address in MediaWiki rather than from this plugin (I think) ... investigating more.

--EDIT:
So, when logged into the forum, then connecting to the Wiki pages, the Database Entry for the User is created, however that seems to be where the process ends, having looked at the page source, I can see the IP address of the user identifying the user anonymous "pt-anonuserpage" whereas the SysOp user that works source pages identifies as user "pt-userpage"

Something not quite following through in the authentication. . . .

--EDIT: The only difference I can see is that the SysOp user that works does have a user_password BLOB 44bytes in the database whereas the new users do not 0bytes. - could this be a source of problems?

*Note I do have the TokenUpdate script running in my Cron and I do see the Token update (in the database) once it runs.

YEP - basically - exactly the same boat as CGhostGroup - I get user IP only, installed every which way from sunday.

--UPDATE: FOUND IT. My User is a member of several usergroups - it's only when I change the vbWiki Options for EVERY SINGLE Usergroup that this member belongs to, that I no longer get IP (or anonymous) access. I now have EDIT access. *Note that the users primary Group and Display group both had FULL access.
--- I will do an experiment to see if it's something like the HIGHEST usergroup number that is chosen or something along those lines, but at least I can now edit. . . .

KUDO's - Happiest I've ever been.


Latest version available: 4.2.1
MW 1.19 using vbMediaWiki_Vector_vB4.1.12_MW1.19 <-- Integration formatting works better
Upgraded to vbMediaWiki 1.31 (on Page 29) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=143750&d=1360807326)

checking usergroup permissions was what my suggestion was going to be :)

the issues is caused by how VB assigns permissions - denied permissions go to the lowest permission level, not highest (this is the safest way to do it), so changing it is likely to be tough.

ps: i am using MW 1.21, works fine

Hi, I'm having a problem with WikiEditor. I already installed the correct extension on my MediaWiki 1.20.2 but the editor doesn't show when I'm using forum skin. When I use vector skin all is working fine.

Anyone know how to solve this?

Hello,

I have had the same problem and I spent long time to fix this. The problem is that the MediaWiki javascripts were moved to the footer. And the footer was not displayed by vbmediawiki. To fix this, I have added the following code to the file /wiki/skins/vbMediaWikiForum.php in line 667 (after the line: "<div class="visualClear"></div>"):


<!-- scripts and debugging information -->
<?php $this->html('bottomscripts'); /* JS call to runBodyOnloadHook */ ?>
<?php $this->html('reporttime') ?>
<?php if ( $this->data['debug'] ): ?>
<!-- Debug output:
<?php $this->text( 'debug' ); ?>
-->
<?php endif; ?>


@ndahiya: Thanks for your work. May be you can add this piece of code to the next version of your plugin?

Regards, Kristian

Facebook platform integration was causing the wiki pages to load very slowly if the user was logged in to Facebook. After disabling the Facebook platform on vBulletin, my wiki page loads went down from an average 6 or 7 seconds to around 2 seconds.

[jluerken]

When I call the wiki from an Android phone I get a blank page. Works on normal PC's and Apple iOS.

Is there a fix for this?

[crzyone9584]

All the links form the orginal post are not working... Does anyone have any links for installing the entire mod including how to install media wiki to work with this?

Go to your wiki installation and go to

[crzyone9584]

Thank you. I must of missed that reading the posts last night.

[crzyone9584]

I've gotten most of the errors out of this for my installation. Now I'm stuck on this one. I can't seem to find a solution for it. I followed this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2398436#post2398436) for installation.

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_write() on a non-object in /home/cccc/theworld-r2.net/global.php(29) : eval()'d code on line 52

That error is from step 3 of 7 in the Diagnostics tab of vbMediaWiki.

Line 52 of my global.php is nothing. It doesn't even exist. It stops at line 51.

Forum display and integrated display do not work either. Only the Vector display setting works. Any one else have this issue?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fixed the Fatal call by defining VB_INSTALL_PATH in diagnostics. If i took out the require_once for LocalSettings it stopped pushing out errors.

Next things I ran into was step 5. It wasn't pulling the data out of the forum for the mysql server. I actually had to go in and enter mysql information. It worked then. This is a big concern for me. I'm not sure why the

$data = unserialize($vbulletin->options["mediawiki_db"]);

is not working correctly. But $data was always empty for me. So I went into phpmyadmin to make sure the settings where saved. They are saved correctly for me. So IDK whats up with that. I changed everything back to normal though in all the files I changed.

Still can't get any other dispaly working than Vector though.

Hi,

anyone is using vb 4.2.2 with mediawiki 1.22.2?

Yes, I've been upgrading with new releases and haven't had any issues.

Did you try it with php 5.5.x or was it php 5.3.x?
EDIT: and was it UTF8 or latin?

[daviet]

I was on PHP 5.3 then moved recently to 5.4 without issues.

I recall reading about needing to convert to UTF-8 but I didn't go through that step, my vbulletin setting for HTML Character Set is set to "ISO-8859-1"

Are you running into any specific issues? There have been a few small hacks along the way but for the most part I'm using v. 1.32 posted by ndahiya:

Guys, I'm planning on installing this mod, but since all the links on the initial thread are gone, any of you guys have like a mirror or installation steps?

And also, is this mod still working/good? I just installed a new mediawiki and would love to see such integration.

Hey :)

Great work on reviving this; saved me from buying another bb license >.<

Nevertheless, on the diagnostics page, i get an error:

Notice: Undefined variable: IP in /var/www/path/w/LocalSettings.php on line 139

Warning: require_once(/extensions/Poem/Poem.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/path/w/LocalSettings.php on line 139

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/extensions/Poem/Poem.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/path/w/LocalSettings.php on line 139

if i just comment out that line, it throws an error on the next extension. It doesn't seem to find the whole extension folder...

i'm using vb 4.2.2 and mw 1.22.4. Any ideas?

[Edit]
nvm, figured it out. $IP is not defined, so i set it to my wiki root path and chdir'd there:

$IP = "/var/www/path/w";
chdir("/var/www/path/w");


and it *kinda* worked. Some errors were thrown by the WikiEditor, which seem to be unrelated to vbmediawiki though.

[illusioN-tEk]

works great on 4.2.2

[Big Kahuna]

I'm interested in using this for www.MoparWiki.com as it was getting Spammed despite trying every suggested mediawiki spam addon. Want to use www.moparstyle.com/forums but I'm concerned with those reporting problems and lack of activity on this thread/addon.

Anyone recently install with latest versions of vbulletin and Mediawiki, that want to give their experience?

[Flightbase]

Anyone still maintaines this for current versions?

[Flightbase]

I found this page:

https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:VbMediaWikiVector

There is a vb4.2.3 linked, using mediawiki 1.26.2 and extension version "2.0".

I registered there and SSO worked as well as uploading files without session data lost error.

FYI.

I will try that "2.0" version these days...

[inigo]

Any update or new info?
