that should be fine

vprp, we have this setup running at our site: www.arcanetek.com (wiki is at wiki.arcanetek.com and vb at forum.arcanetek.com). All these subdomains are hosted by the same server, The only difference is in the cookie domain settings.

Clayton, if you can wait, I would suggest you wait for the next build. It's been due for two weeks now, so it is bound to be released any second... :rolleyes:

great stuff Elf

so it was ready yesterday

:laugh:

[high]* sebbe subscribes to this thread :)[/high]

Elfmage - What's the status on this? I *finally* got php on my server upgraded to version 5.x and mediawiki upgraded to version 1.8.2

I've been reading about the name issue in other threads and from this one it sounds like you solved that issue. My board is too big and too old to try to get everyone to change their user name to a letters, numbers and underscore only user name.

Smitty. We are still working on this project.

We solved the 'name issue' by implementing a dynamic name mapping on the fly between MediaWiki and vBulletin. MediaWiki sees user names the way it expects, but this is transparent (for the most part) to the end user. The user is aware and uses only his/her vbulletin login both from within vBulletin and from within MediaWiki (logging into one, logs the user user into the other system, and vice versa).

Today we released the RC1 to be tested. and we expect to have a final release shortly.

P.S. We moved our site to www.nuhit.com.

Thanks for the update! I will be getting the pro version.

How many people are working on this project? Why did it move from luxurywiki.com?

For some reason the 'instant e-mail notification' did not work on this thread. Weird.

Anyways, we launched vbWiki Pro last week. This is a commercial product. A more lightweight version (vbWiki) is available as a free download from our site: www.nuhit.com

Our company got renamed/restructured, and this is why our website url changed.

Internally we have two teams, mine is working on products related to forums, wikis, CMS, etc. And vbWiki Pro is one of these products... :rolleyes:

Thanks for the update. I will purchase the pro version once I upgrade to vb 3.6

Just to say that I bought vbwiki Pro and it's integration is pretty well done with mediawiki and vb. I also had some problems with language transcoding (mediawiki is UTF-8 and my forum ISO-8859-1) and ElfMage did a fix in a couple of days.
I'll post soon the link of my wiki soon, because it's not officially open.

1. How do we determine if our forum is UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1?
2. 'did' a fix in a couple of days or 'will' have a fix in a couple of days?

language settings. English and french are in this encoding. It's not a problem for english in fact, but languages with accent (like french > ? ? ? ?, etc.) it's a problem. Then, now, everything is fine.

He " did" ;) Sorry for my english :)

In attachement, two screen capture (forum in french language). The only problem I have is the integration of the Translate plugin for vb, which forward to the forum and not wiki (I just saw it)

I still have to finish to edit my templates, to fix some default wiki colors that doesn't suit my forum template.

OK - Thanks. I may buy this. But - I also would want the language settings correct for UTF-8 because although my forum is in english, I think people do use 'non-standard' characters in their names from time to time so I'd rather be prepared than trying to fix things later.

No problems with your english - Heck, all I can read, write and speak (for all intents and purposes) is english. I just wanted to make sure of what what was being said.

Nice looking Wiki, by the way! Thanks for the screen shots!

Your Englisg is excellent. SVP poste un lien pour ton wiki. Merci ;)

Thomas, thanks for the positive feedback.

Smitty, you can tell if your forum is using UTF-8 or an ISO character encoding by looking at your 'Language Pack' settings in your forums' Admin CP.

However, starting with vbWiki Pro v1.0.1 this is no longer an issue. You don't need to make any changes to your forums' setup.

Whoa, I'm definitely buying vbWiki Pro once my Paypal money move goes through. I have to have this for my fansite. So awesome, thanks! I wish there was a phpAuction mod like this, lol... One can dream. ;)

OK - It's currently set to ISO character encoding. Thanks for the info.

Yes I might be interested in this too, wanted to use mediawiki anyway, but integrating vbulletin is even better :)

I got the pro version - So far so good!

Question: When this hack is no longer supported (god forbid), is the wiki database going to be useable standalone? I mean, does your hack alter the media wiki db in a way that will make my entire wiki obsolete when vbWiki is no longer supported with some future version of VBulletin?

Thanks :)

:)

Not at all. vbWiki doesn't modify the wiki database in any way.

All users created in vBulletin are created in MediaWiki (the first time the user visits the wiki).

vbWiki also updates the user's e-mail address, whether the user's e-mail is authenticated, language settings, etc.

The only changes you would see if you disable vbWiki are:
- users with special characters in their name will now have to use their 'MediaWiki usernames' (in the example above ElfMage-45
- passwords are not synchronized.

vbWiki doesn't update the passwords in the Wiki DB because it doesn't need them, since all authentication goes through vBulletin's user DB.

However we could add this to vbWiki to be ready for the extremely far fetched possibility that you would want to uninstall vbWiki ... :eek:

When is vbwiki pro for mw 1.9 expected please?

We are about to release version 1.0.2 RC3 which includes full compatibility with MW 1.9.0.

The only outstanding issue is the 'Session lost' error reported above. Since we cannot duplicate this in-house we are working with some of our users to troubleshoot this.

Once we duplicate and fix this issue, we'll be launching v1.0.2 RC3. An updated changelog can be found here: http://www.nuhit.com/products/vbwiki-pro-changelog.html

Notice that the fixes and support for MediaWiki 1.9.0 apply to both vbWiki Pro and vbWiki Standard.

We have vbWiki Pro 1.0.2 RC3 working with MW 1.9.0 in our site: http://www.nuhit.com/wiki/Special:Version

Id like to seem some examples of sites that use vbwiki.
