:) Thanks. ArcaneTek.com is up now. LuxuryWiki.com is currently being updated to the latest version....

Can't wait to see it!

Are you sticking with Mediawiki 1.6.8? I hope so because I don't have the guts to upgrade to php5 yet.

My sites are running 1.7.1, but per the request of several users the extension was made 1.6.8 compatible...

Hi,
sorry if this isn't very clear. I've only recently started looking at MediaWiki, so I might mess up the terminology.

I tried luxury_vBulletin today, and haven't been able to get it to work consistently, though it seemed good to start with. I think it's down to usergroup mapping.
If I try to login as my main admin user, it needs to verify in the forum database of course. So I created a user of the same name in my forum, and a wikiadmin group and made it a member. I then mapped the groupnumber to "Bureaucrat". When I login it says I successfully logged in, but doesn't actually go to the main page.
When I disabled it and went in as my main user again I found it could see fewer special: pages. I assume it normally has both bureaucrat and sysop rights, but the mapping had removed the sysop group. How can I make a usergroup map to multiple MW groups? I've tried using "sysop,Bureaucrat" as the mapping, and I've tried using multiple lines for the same group, but got nowhere.

I could be going down a blind alley here, but hope you can help.

Hello Jim,

The current version of the luxury_vBulletin extension has a known bug when logging in and MW's page caching that makes it behave inconsistently. This among other similar bugs have been addressed and will be fixed in the next build.

Now, what you describe regarding mapping a VB's usergroup to multiple MW user roles makes a lot of sense. It will be included in the next release.

The syntax will be what you tried: "sysop,Bureaucrat".

Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks for the quick reply, and thanks for your work on this too. I'll look forward to your next release. Any idea when it'll be ready to try?

Jim

how are things going, are we any closer to getting our mitts on the next update yet, please?

and ditto .. thanks for allt he hard work

Thanks Clayton. We have most of the features working, doing some testing and packaging. Should have a build in a week or so.

Good news

do you reckon it would be OK to attempt the integration now

this will be for 1.6.8 and I am pretty keen to let this one rip

Cheers

Just curious. If the forum and wiki are on different sub-domains, will there be any problems?
