OK, I will give you my settings and so you can try them.

and then at the end of the file:

Note that I have a few extra features installed like cite.php for example.

Try this and report back.

I am using vb 3.8.4, MediaWiki 1.14.0, PHP 5.2.6, MySQL 5.0.45.

I hope this helps

Peter,

As soon as I add the line mentioned earlier to the Auth-file, my page dissappears. I'm guessing that the problem is me running a newer version.

I've been reading up on old installs, and tried some tricks mentioned in there regarding the same line, but all of that seems to be covered in the new version of the hack.

I'm going to see if combing the release notes for the 1.15 version yields anything, otherwise I might just downgrade to wiki 1.14 (the wiki is blank anyway, so no harm done).

Danke!

Peter

I was having the blank page issue when I had the wiki on a different domain to the forum. I had to set both my domain names to the same server space before that problem went away. Do you have the correct settings in vb as they play a major role, too.

e.g. the Wiki Path has to point to the "/wiki" directory and not "/w" (I used the full URL)

Aye, I saw your issue about the blank page in your posts before.

My wiki and forum are in seperate folders, but on the same server and domain.

Forum: www.afterworldforum.com/forum
Wiki: www.afterworldforum.com/wiki

I also installed everything in /w, and have the same settings as you in my localsettings.

As soon as I uncomment line to the the alternative SSO auth page, my wiki will just go blank. I'm going to try and see tomorrow if I can isolate the problem to a single functioncall or line of code by using selective commenting.

Not sure how else to troubleshoot, as I just obtained this VPS box, and my linux skills are extremely rusty (as in ten years or so). I've not bitten myself into this, and dangit, I shall either figure it out, or just give up and download 1.14 tomorrow evening.

Thanks a lot for your help so far, Peter. I did just try using /wiki in the hack, but that also did not do anything. I highly appreciate you taking the time, though.

Off to bed now. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll suddenly see the light.

Peter

Hi Peter,
I had a look at your site and noticed a minor discrepency.

You just told me your forum was located at: "www.afterworldforum.com/forum"

Yet in reality, it is located at: www.afterworldforum.com/forums

If you used the term "forum" instead of "forums" anywhere in your settings, then it is bound not to work. Please check this out.

Hi Peter,

Must have been my mistake when posting. I am pretty certain that I did use /forums everywhere, but will be sure to check that. I should just learn not to post in the late evening hours ;)


Update: Just checked, and it is correctly defined in the file:

Update 2:

Just noticed something weird. In my VPS file manager, I did not see the AuthLogin file. I could see it from my FTP folder, which is where I had been editing it, but for some reason, that obviously failed to get it working properly. I instead uploaded the file through the VPS File Manager (after renaming the other file in FTP), and that seemed to do the trick :D

I R HAPPY CAMPER NOWZ!

Still baffled an uploaded file doe not somehow not show up, but I guess I'll bug my host about that one.

Update 3: D'OH. My FTP client was pointing towards the OLD FTP site. Since I installed wiki before the migration, the environments looked identical, and I just never noticed.

Wiki-SSO is working great now, so the hack works on MediaWiki 1.15 as well.

Vielen dank fur deine hilfe, Peter. Kann ich dir mals ein bier kaufen wann du nach Danmark kommst? :D

Cheers.

Peter

does anyone know if this works with jfusion?

this might be a stupid question - but anyone know the link where to get a vb bridge to WP?

It's not a stupid question, but it's definitely not in the right place.

I googled exactly what you asked for (vb bridge to wp) and there are plenty of links:
http://www.google.com/search?client=...UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

I can't find "localsettings.php"
public_html/Wiki/Localsettings.php is missing..I looked in the downloaded files and didnt come with it.

To quote from my LocalSettings.php

Once you have installed MediaWiki, you will find that file has been created.

I hope this helps

Oh, I didnt install it yet. My bad. I should do that. XD

I have this installed with vBulletin 3.8.4p1 and MediaWiki 1.15.1. It works well enough, but there's one tiny hiccup. Something related to Memcache is causing MediaWiki to forget about its extensions. I get an error like "Invalid tag extension name: myextension". Haven't yet found a solution to this, but I'm looking.

Be careful not to have anything within your vBulletin skin that calls back to MediaWiki by requiring LocalSettings.php. Bad things happen.

Ok, so my install of MW is a bit borked right now. I'm getting the blank page issue mentioned earlier and it actually started when I was using an earlier script to integrate VB with MW. After removing the previous hack (vbwiki pro) I've installed this hack according to the directions listed here but its still not working. After taking a look at some of the posts in this thread I'd like to get a clean and fresh localsettings.php file to work with since this is a bit over my head. Whats the best way to do that?

Once I've got it working well independatly from VB I'll take another look at installing this hack.

Ok, since things in my install were pretty messed up I deleted the localsettings.php file from the root and the /config directory. Then, I used the MW installer to create a new file using the settings I copied from the deleted copy. After that I was able to login using the standard MW systems. Then, following the directionsin the .txt file included with the mod I reinstalled the hack and it works now.

So, this was working well for a while but seems to have died after just a few minutes. If I try to rollback a change I get this response from MW.

And if I try to edit the page I get this error.

Any tips?

Adding "php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off" to my .htaccess file corrected the above issues.

How do you add someone to a wiki usergroup? It doesn't appear to save them for some reason.

Has anyone tested this with vb 4.0 beta yet and the latest version of Mediawiki? I'd love to update but its not worthing breaking anything.

Needless to say, this mod is great for vb 3.8 but I wouldn't recommend running in a vb 4.0 site at all. When attempting to run this mod on an a site with the 4.0 beta 3 installed the following errors are produced on all pages of the wiki and no further content is rendered. Just the error message.

I hope that sometime down the road soon we'll see a 4.0 native mod that will work however, this is an incredible mod. To support the production of a 4.0 mod I'm sending the author a donation right now. Lets all do it and see how soon we can get a 4.0 release. :)

there is no LocalSettings.php file in attachment

Thats true. You should have a LocalSettings.php in the root of your mediawiki installation folder. You want to edit that file.

Does this mod import old users from mediaWiki ? I have a big wiki with many users and I can't loose them.

No, it just replaces the MW login with the VB one. So, you'd have to import all your users to VB or get them to sign up there before you put this on the production site.

Is there a Impex for such a import ?

I don't think there is an impex for that but there are other solutions. Google is your best friend on this one since those type of mods come and go depending on the version supported.

Perhaps it's the easiest way to simply match the UserIDs. How many users are you talking about?

I've troubles with vBulletin 3.8.4 Patch Level 1 and MediaWiki 1.15.1 http://www.softairmania.it/samwiki/i...ciale:Versione

After installation, when I try to edit or insert a new page I give n error about my brouser and and an error abut my browser accent support

Love this hack but want to upgrade Vbulletin to 4.

Is this addon compatible to the upgrade.

I would be willing to donate for this mod to become vB4 compatible. Any chance of that?

Hi,

I was able to get this to work in vb 4.0.0 (mediawiki 1.14) by editing AuthPlugin_vBSSO.php by adding 3 chdir commands twhere the scripts are called

<<<<<
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'wiki');
chdir ('/home/sitename/www/forums');
require_once( CWD . '/global.php');
chdir ('/home/sitename/www/forums');
require_once( CWD . '/includes/functions.php');
chdir ('/home/sitename/www/w/includes');


<<<<<
the second chdir is redundant, i think, but just to be safe. :)

so far working, but will see how stable it is.

ndahiya

Great! Thanks! (not tested yet, but nice to hear :) )

Bruno

Same here, too, also after the latest patch with the changed salt in vb's functions.php I get the same message.

when saving an edit or adding a new page I get the 'token_suffix_mismatch' message:
=> "'''Your edit has been rejected because your client mangled the punctuation characters in the edit token.'''

Any help is appreciated!

this way you dont have anything you need to remember to edit beyond the instructions here, if the paths change for some reason.

Confirmed, GREAT!

Add the red code after the existing black in "wiki\includes\AuthPlugin_vBSSO.php"
1000 Thanks!
Bruno

I'm having this issue and am unable to fix it, any ideas?

It worked fine with vBa 3.2.1 and vB 3.8.*. I don't think that's the reason for your errors...

posting here so I can find this tommorow (when I'm looking to install on VB4)

Hello,

I have this error in vb4

any Idea how can I fix it ?
I'm sure about the path I set in "LocalSettings.php"

Thanks
