That's another piece left from vbWiki Pro.... :rolleyes:, I re-uploaded 1.3 RC4 with the correct code for vbWiki.

Indeed this will disable this code.

Thanks.

Hi rfikki, I replied to your thread over at nuhit.com, the issue was that the product XML was saved in utf-16, and this was conflicting with your system's default encoding... a new utf-8 version is available from the Premium Members Area. Thanks.

(P.S., I am sure vb.org will not approve of using this forum/thread to support a commercial product... :rolleyes:)

Thanks for the updated version!

I might have found a possible bug with it though, after I just installed it on our vBulletin 3.6.7.

After I install it in the same way as the old version (which worked perfectly for me), the authentication still works as usual etc, and the diag tools says everything is fine too.

BUT, when I create a new wiki page, after submitting the content, the browser screen just turns blank (the content is still received in the wiki though). I tried this several times with the same result, and as soon as I disable the vbWiki extension it works again.

This was working in the old version, with vBulletin 3.6.5, but not now in this new one. :(

Could you please take a look and see if you can fix it?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

now mediawiki functionally correct www.pchs.it/wiki-pchs, but vbWiki no. www.pchs.it/forums/vbWiki

Why?

Er, the vBWiki folder does not need to be accessed. Is user db not being shared correctly?

Please note all configuration of this is done within the vbWiki_Init.php and vbWiki_Settings.php, and the folder itself does not affect vB.

Hi Slappy,

What version of MediaWiki and vbWiki are you using? Could you PM me a link to your site?

Thanks.

As Iseran describes, you are not supposed to go to the /vbWiki folder. If vbWiki is working when you are logged in into your forum you should be logged in your wiki, and vice-versa. Is this not working in your site?

Thanks.

I'm using the just-released vbWiki Std v1.3 RC4, on a server with MediaWiki: 1.9.3, PHP: 5.2.2 (apache2handler) and MySQL: 5.0.27

PM sent with more details, thanks!

ElfMage, were you able to trace this bug any further? Any ideas for a solution?

I'm getting a page that looks like this:
http://www.gridiron-glory.net/wiki/

after editing my Local Settings.php file.

You can plainly see my absolute path my vbWiki-Init.php file

My vbWiki directory is under the forums directory.
My MediaWiki directory ("wiki") is outside my forums directory.

Can anyone help me out here?

Hi, the first line of your LocalSettings.php should be this:

And you last lines of the file should be these:


Make these changes and it should work...

Why is it that in order to make a new article I have to include "index.php?title=" in the URL (i.e.
"http://url.com/wiki/index.php?title=article"? Why does it not assume that if I just did "http://url.com/wiki/article"

Hi Slappy, sorry for the delay.. :rolleyes:

I just tried editing your main page, and I was successful (edited it, and got no error).

Are you still getting this error? Does it happen only when you are logged in?

Thanks.

Hi, that's MediaWiki's default behavior. With some changes you can make MediaWiki use Search Engine Friendly URLs. There are a couple of articles at mediawiki.org, and there is also one at nuhit.com: http://www.nuhit.com/wiki/MediaWiki_SEF_URLs

Really? I'm working on various techniques to make it easier for users to develop their own articles, I tried the create.php and inputbox.php but they kept giving me way too many problems. Most likely it is due to my n00bness with the Wiki application, but thank you very much for the link.

BTW ElfMage, that worked great! Thank you sir :)

:) Cool. Glad you got it working!

Thanks for your test, but yes, the error is still there. :(

After I read your post, I made some further tests, and here are some interesting results, and a test that will let you reproduce the problem:

1.
The problem only seems to occur when I'm logged into vBulletin (and thus, into MediaWiki with your extension), yes. I cannot reproduce it in any way when not being logged in. This does of course even more support that this problem is due to some bug in the vbWiki extension though.

2.
It seems like some wiki pages can be edited even when I'm logged in, e.g. the main page and also some small test page I made.

3.
Some pages cannot be edited though, as described in my original bug report in this thread. One of these pages is the one with the name "Test Tool 2", please test this yourself (while being logged in, you can easily create an account at /forum).

4.
The problem always (when logged in) seems to occur when creating new pages though, please test this yourself too.

If it would make any difference, I'm using the "Remember me" checkbox in vBulletin when logging in.


Eagerly awaiting your results! Thanks!

:) Thanks for the thorough troubleshooting..

Please download and extract the attached file to your vbWiki directory, and let me know. This file will let me test sessions on your server as seen by vbWiki.

I'm sorry for the delay, I have now uploaded the file (in the same dir as all the other vBWiki files).

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to make your debugging easier.

Looking forward to having this problem fixed!

Thanks!

If I have media wiki on a seperate domain and box than Vbulletin is there a way to get this to work or should I move this to the same server?

If so it would still be to seperate domains.

Any progress on locating the bug yet ElfMage? Did the uploaded file help, or do you want me to upload anything else too?

Hi folks,

i've installed vbBuletin 3.6.7 PL1 and MediaWiki 1.10.0.

Both work fine.

I try to install vbWiki. But the VB User is not logged in in MW.

Set the :

$run_vbWikiPro_diag_tools = true;

and getting error:

Testing forum integration

Die Cookies konnten nicht gesetzt werden, da der Header schon an den Browser geschickt wurde.

Datei: /www/htdocs/blauwi/knx/vbWiki/vbWiki_Tools.php

Zeile: 455

i'm stuck. Please help.

Alfred

Hi, yes I managed to run the tests. Thanks for uploading the files.

It seems that your site's sessions are working properly. It also seems that vbWiki Std is working as well.

The blank page you describe is caused by a PHP error, most likely caused by some other extension.

I am able to edit any page, except those containing the template named MainObjTemplate, which is not implemented by vbWiki.

Could you confirm this to be the case?

Thanks.

Hi Alfred, could you disable vbWiki Diagnostic Tools, and PM me a link to your Wiki?

Thanks.

It's not only for pages containing the MainObjTemplate, try to create a arbitrary new page, containing only the text "This is a test" or whatever, and it will happen too (it happens when you save the page, as usual, you can still load the page later).

Also, as soon as I disable the vbWiki extension, the errors are completely gone, so it sounds strange that the errors would be in another extension too, don't you think? :(

Are there perhaps some error logs or something that would help you?

Well, I created some articles earlier today (Test Page, and Test Tool 3 or 4, can't remember), and I didn't get those errors. As soon as I copied the page containing that template, I got the PHP error (blank page), and vbWiki was active in all these tests. Quite puzzling.

Yes, indeed. If your site has a php error log, any php errors will appear there.

It is possible that this issue is caused by vbWiki Std, or it may not. More information would be required.

Hi,
Can't find the file LocalSettings.php.

very last line of the installation says

I'm a bit confused. I'd like to installed Standard and by reading here on your site, I don't have to download and install Wikipedia prior to install this hack ?

Only the Pro version needs prior wikipedia installation ?

Hi, my apologies for the confusion.

However, both vbWiki Std and vbWiki Pro are 'bridges' between vBulletin and MediaWiki. In the installation instructions above it is stated:

Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but from reading the side-by-side comparison between Standard and Prof version, it seems the Standard is much better and easier to work with ?

instead of put them in /vbwiki/ folder, can i put them under /wiki/ folder ?

:) It depends. vbWiki Standard is easier to install, but on the other hand, vbWiki Pro has quite a number of features missing from vbWiki Standard. For instance with vbWiki Pro you get skin integration, usergroup management, Admin CP to control vbWiki and MediaWiki's operation, etc. A more thorough comparison can be found over at our site.

If you are installing vbWiki Standard, you can rename the /vbWiki folder to something else, although this is not advisable.

Please notice that this folder (e.g. /forums/vbWiki) is never seen by your visitors. Instead your visitors will go to the folder where you installed MediaWiki (e.g. /wiki).

The folder where vbWiki is installed does not affect your forum or wiki URLs.

Ok, I have found the source of the error by looking in the error log:

This is what made the crash semi-random. I changed the memory limit in the LocalSettings.php, and the problem went away.

What I still don't know is what is taking so much memory. The problem only occurred when having the vbWiki extension active, but this could of course either mean that this extension takes up a lot of memory itself, or that it was just the last drop, but the real culprit was some other extension.

Oh, and one more tip, which I found when looking through the error logs. The following (non-critical) error in your code appears a lot in the error-log, so you might want to fix it:

vbWiki will need to load the vBulletin bridge to access vBulletin's users and DB. This requires extra memory. Now, 20MB seems a bit excessive. I have seen vBulletin use around 6-8 MB, but I don't know how much MediaWiki usually uses. Also, as you mention it would depend on MW extensions or vBulletin mods installed.


Thanks for the heads up.

You can edit that line vbWiki_Hooks.php and change it from:
to

Thanks.

If i install Standard version now and decide to upgrade to the Pro version later, do I have to reinstall everything again ?

I assume the Standard version here is exactly the same as the nuWiki version released on your site ?

To upgrade to vbWiki Pro you only need to follow the vbWiki Pro installation instructions, you do not need to reinstall MediaWiki.

No, NuWiki is a different product.

NuWiki does not use MediaWiki. Instead NuWiki is implemented from zero on top of vBulletin (e.g. you can use vBulletin's WYSIWYG BBCode editor to create and modify articles, or you can take an existing thread (e.g. sticky) and convert it into a NuWiki article, etc).

A comparison between NuWiki and vbWiki Pro can be found in this page: http://www.nuhit.com/nuwiki/comparison.html

Ah, I see where i got confused.
Look like nuwiki is what i need.

:) We will be releasing free trial download for NuWiki in our site within the next week or two.
