no clue really. looks like something is wrong with the installation. delete all cookies before testing and see if it reoccurs.
a remove/reinstall might help? also remember to set permissions for usergroups.

After deactivating the vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin-extension the debug-menu goes til: 5 of 7: Checking Wiki db connection

Re-Installed serveral times :/

Version 1.32 (13 Feb 13): (also changes from 1.30, 1.31):
* Upgrade instructions: upload files, upgrade product using XML file.
* Wiki submenus show in integrated skins.
* Loss of session data errors should be fixed.
* Reduced queries for logged-in users.
* Fixed issue with diagnostics page (likely linked with a apc bug).

I upgraded from vBulletin 4.1.12 to 4.2.1 and included an upgrade to v. 1.32 without problems.

Nice job ndahiya! Whatever you need to continue to keep it supported let us know, it's a great feature.

Any ideas for new features?

1. wiki changes included in the Activity Stream
2. vbulletin 5 integration

I saw ndahiya did some optimization, perhaps a review of anything else that can be done to improve the speed. For logged-in users, the initial page load seems to be slightly slow for me still.

vBulletin 4.2.1 and vbMediaWiki 1.32 work like a charm on my board.

What happens when vB users who have usernames with spaces in them try to edit on mediawiki, which from what I can tell from the information posted does not recognize spaces?

On the test site I'm using, spaces in usernames don't appear to cause a problem.

However, this is based on a grand sample of 1... and I haven't yet tried other disallowed characters.

I've noticed I'm getting crawl errors from Google for every user's profile page within MediaWiki.
They show like this:

Code:

http://www.XXX.com/forum/www.XXX.com/wiki/User:user1

http://www.XXX.com/forum/www.XXX.com/wiki/User:user2

It says it is coming from a link in the vB members profile page linking to the MediaWiki member profile page.

I'm also having a problem, having setup successfully, I can login with my default created sysop and edit as necessary, but my Integration, users attempting to connect (they are in the sysop and bureaucrat group) don't connect as a User, rather as their IP Address.

It's very strange as my sysop user account logs in from the same forum and comes across as a user and NOT an IP address. Very confused. I'm assuming it will be related to the Tokens somehow, but just need to figure out how/why.

--EDIT:
I've just been looking at the mw_users in the Database, the USERNAME does come across correctly, however the user is reported as being IP Address in MediaWiki rather than from this plugin (I think) ... investigating more.

--EDIT:
So, when logged into the forum, then connecting to the Wiki pages, the Database Entry for the User is created, however that seems to be where the process ends, having looked at the page source, I can see the IP address of the user identifying the user anonymous "pt-anonuserpage" whereas the SysOp user that works source pages identifies as user "pt-userpage"

Something not quite following through in the authentication. . . .

--EDIT: The only difference I can see is that the SysOp user that works does have a user_password BLOB 44bytes in the database whereas the new users do not 0bytes. - could this be a source of problems?

*Note I do have the TokenUpdate script running in my Cron and I do see the Token update (in the database) once it runs.

YEP - basically - exactly the same boat as CGhostGroup - I get user IP only, installed every which way from sunday.

--UPDATE: FOUND IT. My User is a member of several usergroups - it's only when I change the vbWiki Options for EVERY SINGLE Usergroup that this member belongs to, that I no longer get IP (or anonymous) access. I now have EDIT access. *Note that the users primary Group and Display group both had FULL access.
--- I will do an experiment to see if it's something like the HIGHEST usergroup number that is chosen or something along those lines, but at least I can now edit. . . .

KUDO's - Happiest I've ever been.

Code:

Latest version available: 4.2.1

MW 1.19 using vbMediaWiki_Vector_vB4.1.12_MW1.19 <-- Integration formatting works better

Upgraded to vbMediaWiki 1.31 (on Page 29)

checking usergroup permissions was what my suggestion was going to be :)

the issues is caused by how VB assigns permissions - denied permissions go to the lowest permission level, not highest (this is the safest way to do it), so changing it is likely to be tough.

ps: i am using MW 1.21, works fine

Anyone know how to solve this?

Hello,

I have had the same problem and I spent long time to fix this. The problem is that the MediaWiki javascripts were moved to the footer. And the footer was not displayed by vbmediawiki. To fix this, I have added the following code to the file /wiki/skins/vbMediaWikiForum.php in line 667 (after the line: "<div class="visualClear"></div>"):

HTML Code:

 <!-- scripts and debugging information -->

 <?php $this->html('bottomscripts'); /* JS call to runBodyOnloadHook */ ?>

 <?php $this->html('reporttime') ?>

 <?php if ( $this->data['debug'] ): ?>

 <!-- Debug output:

  <?php $this->text( 'debug' ); ?>

  -->

 <?php endif; ?>

@ndahiya: Thanks for your work. May be you can add this piece of code to the next version of your plugin?

Regards, Kristian

Facebook platform integration was causing the wiki pages to load very slowly if the user was logged in to Facebook. After disabling the Facebook platform on vBulletin, my wiki page loads went down from an average 6 or 7 seconds to around 2 seconds.
