Editing the .httaccess file using those settings does not work if you have your wiki in a separate directory (outside the forum directory)

Okay... Please disregard editing the vBSEO hook --- That will give many images a re-write rule.

My solution:

I added "wiki/" to the "Excluded Pages" option in the vBSEO Control Panel.

Everything seems to be functioning correctly now.

This mod works like a charm on my forum.

See
http://buypoe.com/wiki

Wiki code is intimidating at first, but just take some time to learn it and its really a pushover.

Also:
No problems yet
image uploading works
search function works
user integration works

This mod is so powerful, I just hope the mod developer stays active in fear of vBulletin updates.

Some things you guys should make sure you do:
-Turn off magic quotes via php.ini or .htacess
-When adding mediawiki extensions, its not like vBulletin, its actually easier, you just copy the entire extension into the extensions folder and add a small snipet of code to the localsettings.php file.

Possible Future Updates:
Adding the # of wiki edits in Postbit

If you want it now: Modifications

Thanks again for your infos and solution! Updated.

It would be easier for further users to have all informations together but not inside one thread only... transferring those to a 2nd support forum is too work intensive... I'm really interested what bepe will say, when he comes back...

I think it would be best not to support on two sites... Perhaps also other vb-Modifications will move to vbmods.org since we can offer them more support possibilities (multiple Threads or even Forums, Wiki, ...) ... or perhaps vbulletin.org will change their policy and offer us more possibilities too.

Anyway: Thanks to all helping grow this mod!

Edit: vbmods.org is still under construction and therefore a part of SinnimLeben.net but fully functional.

Great fix.

This updated code may work even better if your members wish to create pages about themselves in the wiki, this will connect it straight to their wiki page.

I have it up and running but my vbMediaWiki settings is all blank (shows up as a blank entry in the settings list and when I view the settings the page is blank)

(hope this helps...)

Yes it was, installed and appears to be working.

Nice to hear :). You are not the first, missing a dot, writing a instead of o and similar. Copy/Paste the paths from the error message to notepad and comparing there with "how it should be" can help.

Enjoy the rest!

With some folks testing it's looking very stable so far.

Edit: I needed to add this to my .htaccess to make it work.

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

Some people reported that they were able to integrate the wiki installed in a subdomain. Can they please put some more light into how this can be achieved? I have a forum and a wiki on the following urls:

forum: www.urduweb.org/mehfil
wiki: wiki.urduweb.org

Quick question.

If say this mod isn't supported in the future (let's hope that never happens!), is it possible to separate the wiki from the forum integration and then continue to update MediaWiki (on its own) as updates to it our released? I'm talking about software updates primarily and possibly the ability to keep using the wiki.

Perhaps a quick, but very important Question. Just tested it:

• If you browse the table "user" you will see, that every User ever logged in has been created and his edits are shown correct even if you disable the bridge (Disable: Undo the LocalSettings.php-Changes and rename the skin files vbMediaWiki.php, so monobook will be chosen and no php error occurs)
• BUT: No password and no email is being stored!! This means: After disabling the bridge you will have to add email addresses manually, so users can press "Send Password"

Btw: Really don't know when bepe will have time again to continue his work... I don't have the know-how yet and perhaps will not continue to use MediaWiki...

It's on you to get the light by reading... at least the last view posts and those links...

I have reviewed the installation and the instructions several times, but nothing the integration does not work does anyone know how to make users to integrate properly?

This instruction is wrong:

Upload the contents of the "forum_upload" directory into your wiki root directory.

Should be:

Upload the contents of the "forum_upload" directory into your forum root directory.

this is safe?

Yes, I'm assuming this isn't the first mod you've installed.

Appreciate the reply. Only thing required after this in that case would be to create a query to add the email addresses from the forum DB to the wiki DB.

Mind if I ask what you plan to use if not MediaWiki ? I'm wondering whether to use this or just install MediaWiki on its own and then use a bridge (only downfall being that integration for searching etc is lost).

Seems not to work any more with 4.0.3 ... at least with the german version. Anyone got it working?

I'm having some problems with this mod. I've followed the instructions, this is on a new vbulletin installation so I changed the charset to utf8.

The wiki website comes up when I click on the navbar, but when a user has write permissions to the wiki, the system logs them out and they're unable to post. When I try to login, they're able to login but it just refreshes and they're not logged in.

Any ideas?

Nevermind I got it working, I misread the instructions when removing the ucfirst portion.

I have installed but for some reason where I should have the wiki tab instead of displaying WIKI it shows {$vboptions['mediawiki_path']} and makes that the path so no connection to the wiki at all. I can get to the wiki on www.mysite.com/wiki and have set ./wiki as path and Wiki as name but its not showing.

Any ideas?

Perhaps a problem with another installed add/plugin. Disable all others and check for correct installation of vbMediaWiki again.

It all seems to work fine except for the tab. I'm using 4.0.3 so maybe thats the problem. This is the only added module other than those that come standard with vbulletin.

O.K. I was able to upgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3 on XAMPP, everything fine - including the tab! Now continuing to search for the bug on the server...

Update: He he, uninstalled and reinstalled on Server: Now exactly your Tab-Issue :)

O.K. solved this, but really don't know, what's causing it, since the template mediawiki_navbar_link ist the same on my working XAMPP and my buggy server-installation. Perhaps if you install vbMediaWiki on 4.0.2 and then update to .3 something will be updated, which interprets above template in another way...

Solution: replace those vars with the new {}-descriptors: Change mediawiki_navbar_link to
For those who want to install vbMediaWiki on a 4.0.3, you can directly use the new xml which has above changes included (Attachement).

Awesome Thankyou for the great support. It all works fantastic now.

O.K. I installed a solution for this on my site: vbmods.org. You will see two wiki tabs, linking to two independent wikis.

Instructions here: Linking multiple Wikis to one vBulletin

This modification needs little coding-skill and does not include Search etc, only Single-Login and Active Tabs.

Works fine on my vb.4.03

Hiho! Is there a chance, to get a bugfix for the Opera style errors? :)

For myself I don't know where to look to fix it by myself.

Has anyone successfully made a widget showing recent wiki activity for the vbulletin cms? I tried to this by adding a general search widget. You can select vbcms_searchresult_wiki as the search result but when this is selected I get database errors. Is there another way to make a widget for the cms that might work?
Thanks!

I hate to ask, but I'm going to anyway!

What's involved in a VB3.8 version and do you think you would ever release one?

I will run this eventually, but I'm not quite ready to go to vB4 just yet, however I really want to get a Wiki up and running.

So far... the product looks good except THREE things that I was hoping could be clarified:

1. It seems that my Home button on the navbar now points to the home of the Wiki, as opposed to the normal Homepage of my forum.
Can be viewed here: http://www.dfwsportbikes.org/wiki/

2. My shoutbox is no longer working on this wiki page. It loads, but the content does not.

3. It seems as though the Wiki is slow to load. Is this a known issue, or can something be done?


Please, don't assume I mean to critique... I very much like the plugin, just asking some questions to make the overall usage flawless :)

Hello

I have vb 4.03 gold with cms, blogs and mediawiki 1.15.3 with the last xml of this product and the files of attachment, views ok on the navbar.. :)

Forum is on http://www.tododream.com/foro/forum.php
Wiki is on http://www.tododream.com/wiki/

But when active the changes of localsettings.php i receive one blank page on wiki.

define( VB_SYSTEM_PATH, '../foro' );
require_once( "$IP/includes/AuthPlugin_vbMediaWiki.php" );

is Correct?

Thanks & regards
