Install VB as u are used to and also install MW on the sever. Both should be running independend and both should use it's own DB.
Then install this mod and set it up right.

When it is installed you will see an wiki tab in VB, when u click it you will see the content of the wiki in the form content area and the user that is logged into VB is also logged into the wiki

Cheers for the reply Bebe, Thats how i have it now, except when i click on the wiki tab and goto the wiki it says I need to log in, and when ive tried to log in using a vb username it says I can only assume that the path in the settings is wrong, My wiki is installed at
http://example.com/w so in the vBulletin MediaWiki settings the path is set to ./w is that correct or do i need to change it??

it looks like you forgot something... perhaps to edit the LocalSettings.php?
would be easier if I take a look myself... could u send me an link via PM?

Hi Bepe. Just to let you know that my content list boxes aren't formatting properly. I assume this is a CSS issue?

Please see my attached screengrab.

Pm Sent Bebe, Thanks...

bepe you have pm :)

found something about my problem with the log in ...

Everytime when it seems to log me out in the adress field is now an adress without www.

Thank you ... will try to fix it for the Beta 6

Try the new Beta 5 ... it should fix it

[edit]
ow.. .you are right... why is the www disappearing?? I think that is not related to my mod :$

New beta 5 installed... But it is not the solution.
In my forum i didnt have such problems only on the wiki pages...

Bepe: Another more serious issue that you should be aware of.

This product does not work in the IE8 browser. I've tried various usernames and a number of computers and IE8 fails every time with a blank page. Using Firefox there is no such problem.
Any ideas? I'll try other browsers tomorrow.

That is fixed in Beta 5, try again ... eventually F5

check PM, found some wrong config on your wiki I think

ok... but I found a big problem I think... :(

Wiki can show chars like ???? ... but if I edit a page it can not save this chars

[EDIT] only if the forum is not utf-8

Thanks for a great mod :) love it. Installed and works great. But i use norwegian language with the letters ??? . I cant do that utf-8 in language phrase in my forum cause then it messes up my board, but then wiki looks right. So it must been another way to fix this i hope ?? When setting my forum back to ISO-8859-1 the wiki show these strange symbols when writing the norwegian letters ??? - p� det r�de b�r v�re

See the attached picture

Confirmed and no issues as yet. Man you are fast!

Thanks great work:up:

But stil have some problems with Beta5. I'm using subdomains.

Have a look at my testinstallation
Forum: http://forum.xxx.tk
Wiki: http://wiki.xxx.tk

Problem is that all the Links in the Wiki are pointing to the Subdomain of the Forum.

added the following into LocalSettings.php:
Mediawiki Path: http://wiki.xxx.tk

There are also problems with login but hopefully this will be fixed by solving the first problem here.

Thanks in advance!

Other domains (even sub domains) are not supported yet, sorry

new beta, wiki is uft-8 now even if the forum is not ... that fixed all problems for me

Thanks for your quick help:)

Now i moved the Wiki to

http://forum.xxx.tk/wiki

Mediawiki Path: ./wiki

LocalSettings.php:
also changed
$wgScriptPath = "/wiki";


Now the content is lost and the page looks wired.
Without the mediaWikiSettings in LocalSettings.php the Wiki is correct if i delete the two lines.

Any ideas?!

Now works fine, thanks again.

Two little bugs:

Extension CategoryTree doesn?t work, redirect to forum:

See: http://www.rotolandia.com/wiki/index...gina_Principal

And see:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

any idea why it would break this extension? the extension works when i disable this plugin

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Secured_PHP

edit: as in, is it breaking the scripter wiki group?

bepe,

i have the previous mediawiki single signon integration (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=213102 ).

it works fine with the differently capitalized usernames (ie, converts usernames in mediawiki with first letter capitalized).

so have shared connects already. by installing this mod, will the existing linkage be broken (ie, would a new username be recreated?) can you not edit this similar to the previous mod, so that the capitalization of the usernames does not make a diff.

in vbulletin, the field is not case specific, so ABCD, Abcd, abcd are the evaluated as the same username. not so in mediawiki.


ndahiya

Concerning my previous error i recognized that the URL is after embedding the addon in long version like

http:// www.mydomain.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hauptseite
and not
http:// www.mydomain.com/wiki/index.php/Hauptseite

like it was before in my Mediawiki. I can reach all pages by adding the simple URL. Adding the long URL in the Browser it jumps back on main page.

Can somebody tell me where to switch between long and simplified URL in Mediawiki as i cannot find the configuration parameter.

Maybe this would solve my problem.

Both is fixed now

if you dont change the user.php, then it should behave like the single signon

can u send me a link to your page?

E.
P.
I.
C.
I'll download it when it's out of beta.
I LOVE THIS MOD <3

Hi Bepe. I don't know what you did to beta 7 but my header is now all text links. I uninstalled beta 5 (sorry I missed beta 6) as per instructions, uploaded the new files and re-installed the product. On a positive note: My contents list within the wiki are now fine though - so thanks on that one.

Please see attached; thanks

VB_INSTALL_PATH needs to be relative now
if possible send me a link, then I can check it

We solved the problem via PM... he was using an old version of MW

I just changed it to a relative path - I missed the new instructions. No problem now. Thanks.

bepe,

great. so the existing linkages will work and future linkages will too?
does not changing user.php break anything else in the mod?

then, you might want to make the changes to user.php optional.

ndahiya

yes, it's optional ... anyway, if I use my alias 'bepe' I always want it to be lowercase; if I have 'bepe' in VB and 'Bepe' in MW it would be strange for me; more like it to be consistent

About if it will work or not... it should in theory, but I did not try it... so better you try it with some test forum first

bepe, the attachment in post #148 is exactly how my site looks if i use your default skin, If i select any of the media wiki skins its fine.. Im using :-

Powered by MediaWiki 1.15.1
And vbmediawiki Beta 7

Any ideas whats causing this ??

As I wrote:
VB_INSTALL_PATH needs to be relative now

Are there any plans to figure out ways to integrate with non-alphanumeric username charachters?

I dont mind doing code edits on the wiki, but I wish to refrain from editing all the usernames in my forum to fit spec.

I really wish to use this mod as I like the concept and layout integration it provides.

that is not that easy... would have to rewrite much code in the wiki sources... sorry, that is too much work for me, need to get my own forum up and running

Hi bepe. You've put a lot of hard work into this amazing product and I must say I am one very happy customer. Thank you very much indeed.
So tell us, are you happy with the way this beta process is going? Are we looking at a Gold release now?

So far all fine... I've added a setting for the tab name to the admin panel and some small changes...

I really want to add search integration to VB... Like you search the forum for "xxx" and if the wiki contains an article called xxx it will show that in the result page at first place

... but what did VB think when the made this contentypes thing that is used for adding new contents to the search query... there is no docu and I think no one ever used it :(

let me try a bit more, then I decide if it can be done or not...

Good luck and I'm watching in anticipation of more great things coming out of this product. Is now too soon to start asking for a wishlist?
