Not yet... would be possible of course, if someone has time and energy to get through the stuff...

The file is missing... (path, ...)

Yeah, it runs .. great.

Nice to hear! :)

Is there any consequence in changing the Char Set on a new instillation?

I have a problem. I use my forums with latin ISO-8852-2.
Everything inside MediaWiki is fine, I can see Polish characters with no problems: ąśćźęół
The problem is the VB search results. All Polish chars are swapped with "?". Please take a look at the attachment. What is the solution to overcome this problem?

Getting this error at forum search results page:

@milaszewski: As much as I understood, your only solution would be a char-converter wiki to vb... or perhaps to change both to UTF-8 which also can be very difficult / on a large scale...

what about this?
the above is from the mod description... so it seems to me that the mod is designed to overcome the problem, but somehow it doesn't

@milaszewski: I'm not sure about that, but would say that at the moment only UTF-8 (wiki) -> latin (vB) is suported. You need UTF-8 -> ISO-8852-2.


@all: What exatly means bepe with MediaWiki is always UTF-8, or not? (My assumtion: UTF-8 supports every language, latin only some of them. So the UTF-8 -> latin will not work for others...)

ISO-8852-2 is latin

The problem is even more serious - usernames containing Polish characters are unable to access Wiki. For example Kołtun username is seen as Ko - it doesn't recognize ł letter.

Ok, more on this... The problem appears when saving a page.

- If I save a page with the module working, links don't work at all and the effect is the same as if set $wgCapitalLinks to false ( [[content]] doesn't link to the page named 'Content' ).

- If I comment "require_once( "$IP/includes/AuthPlugin_vbMediaWiki.php" );" so the module is not loaded, the links works perfectly after I save the page.

I will appreciate any help on this.
Ty :)

My fault. To be clear: German and English vBulletins use ISO-8859-1 (Latin alphabet No. 1), but your polish version ISO-8852-2 (Latin alphabet No. 2)...

Have a look at ACP > Language Manger > Edit Settings > HTML Character Set German and English will show ISO-8859-1, but Polish ISO-8859-2

I think, this affects only the Language Pack. vBulletin itself should be the same.


Back to the code: bepe uses
which should convert the right way, but obviously doesn't...

Perhaps also a problem with
Well... but we cannot cover bepe with issues and issues as long it is a one man show...

Is there any option that it replaces up FAQ then it will be great

Ok, I found '$wgCapitalLinks = false;' on the file 'includes/AuthPlugin_vbMediaWiki.php'

I tried to comment this line and now links are working as expected, so I can write 'This is some [[content]] as example' and the link points to the page 'Content'.

Now I have a problem with usernames as they are expected with the first letter uppercase, even after uploading the 'User.php' provided with the module.

Am I the only one with this problem?

Ty in advance.

Thanks for the Info! Seems like things are not perfect for people using $wgCapitalLinks = true; ...

Are those using this Wiki integration for english boards having any major issues? I love this project so much that I want to start using it now ;)

I'm using wikimedia version 1.15.2 ? 2010-03-08, it works fine but when i'm clicking on "wiki"-tab i'm always getting logged off.
Is it necessary to install mediawiki into the same database as vbulletin? Or are there any other settings?

Hopefully someone can help me fix this login-problem .... :(

Hello!

It works nice here with

• MW1.15.1, UTF-8, ENGINE=InnoDB, DEFAULT CHARSET=binary
• VB4.0.2, ISO-8852-1
• separate databases but on the same Server, no prefixes
• installed on //server/path/forum and //server/path/w
• Wiki: short URL, vB: CEO-URL with Rewrite

Greetings, Bruno

installed 1.15.2 but having the same logon error switching between vb and mwiki

Okay, problem was sitting infront of the keyboard (again :D ). Had a wrong database name in the admincp and haven't seen it for 1 billion times looking over it :) Search function works almost now. Only thing left is showing all users wiki articles by clicking on the link in the user profile. The link "....search.php?do=finduser&userid=123&contenttype =vBMediaWiki_Wiki" delivers no results. Searching within the extended search selecting WikiArticels and searching for the user delivers the correct articles. It ought to work, but just that link in the profile leads to nothing.

Keep on rocking!

This seems to be a kind of database error. Are the database login information set correctly in your admincp? Ran into the same problem (see posting above).

Try to set your Cookie Path to "/". This helped in MediaWiki/vBulletin Single Sign-On.


Just had - and tested - an idea which perhaps is an interesting extension:

• Create a User "Wiki".
• Allow everyone to edit his postings by bypassing the permission check. (2 edits in 2 files, more for blog and article)

In the history of these postings you will see who edited the post, as you see it in MediaWiki. (Example, History)

You nailed it there,thanks,totally put a hyphen where I need an underscore.
*slaps self*

Good to hear! :)

excellent mod!

and had another admin try to install it and he got it.

wiki has updated their software to 1.15.2 thinking maybe it might have some issues resolved to enhance this add on. OR possibly correct a few present bugs. Worth checking??

I added the 2 lines to the localsettings.php, no error appeared however I'm not quite sure it's actually loading the file.

The wiki

Anyone has any clues or idea's perhaps ?

You have to set the skin to vbMediaWiki! (Localsettings and where changed also in the usersettings, Test: &useskin=vbmediawiki)

Still means though the users of vB aren't taken back as wiki-users seeing as the skin should be autoloaded with the AuthPlugin_vbMediaWiki.php.

This lacks in the install instructions, but I mentioned it allready earlier and right above: You have to change the default skin in LocalSettings.php!

I cannot find localsettings.php.
I've read upto page 7 of this thread and although people seem to be giving the solution... it doesn't make sense to me. I do not have the localsettings.php in ANY of the wiki folders. Please help?!

Nevermind. I just realised I need to download and install MediaWiki.
Could someone link me to the correct version - 1.15.1?! I'm under the impression that's the version that works with this vB mod. Is that correct?
I can only see a download for version 1.15.2.

1.15.1 works, don't know about 1.15.2...

mediawiki.org > Download > 1.15

As stated that would fix the theme, not the actual fact users from vB are linked to the wiki as stated in my previous part. Yes it did fix the theme, not the underlaying system.

Thankyou :)
but which one is it? There are several downloads for 1.15.1 on that page...???

EDIT: OK I still don't get this. I downloaded the last 1.15.1 MediaWiki version on that page... but all it is is 1 file and I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with it.
The installation instructions for this mod need to be clearer, imo.
Also, I still don't have the localsettings.php file... where does this even come from?!

:) You must first learn how to get into a product: If you want to use MediaWiki, then use their forum (mwusers.com) for Support. If you install vB ... the same. If you THEN want the bridge - after everything works fine - ask here ;)

i don't think i have the patience.
it looks like a nice mod though.
:)

What a pitty you edited your last post. I just found the right answer :):"Are you going to the Apple store to learn driving, only because you installed an iPhone in you car?"

But you are not the first to misunderstand this mod. I really hope, bepe will be back soon, so we can update informations and install instructions.

I'm still rearranging my forum to create a suitable support place for this and other mods or projects. Hope this will do things here easier and clearer!

Regards,
Bruno
