Has anyone else purchased vbwiki pro and not received the download information within the 20mins (as stated on their website)?

Hello Jon, I replied to your e-mail. The download information is sent by an automated process (within 5 minutes of the order being received). Once in a while we see a customer who didn't receive the e-mail because it was stopped by a spam filter or some other similar cause. :confused:

In any event, I resent the access instructions to you. Thanks.

Thanks :)

i have an error and the wiki doesnt use the forum login

i ran the tools and it says it cannot find my absolute forum path. I am running php 4.4, MediaWiki 1.6.8, vbulletin 3.6.4, vbWiki standard

any ideas would be appreciated

Hi, make sure that vbWiki is installed as a subdirectory of your forums, and that in vbWiki_Init.php the forum path is using the default value of

dirname(__FILE__) . '/..'

If you'd like PM me a link to your wiki/forum, and I'll take a look.

Thanks.

Would I be able to like, have my forums on www.myforums.com and host the wiki on www.mywiki.com and have vb work with it that way?

The trick with different domains is the cookie tunneling to share sessions and login persistence between the two domains..

The standard version doesn't have this feature included. However, you could accomplish the same results with the standard version by using the mod created by thincom2000 found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=139272

what permission do I give my usergroups to start new pages? I dont understand how all that works.

vbWiki Standard will allow you to map vBulletin's usergroups to wiki usergroups.

But then you need to control the wiki usergroups permissions manually, per MediaWiki's usergroup (roles) functionality. (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:...g_group_rights)

Sorry for asking kind of offtopic ... in the requirements it's said, that you can run wikimedia under PHP version 4 ... but this doesn't work for me? the wiki installation routine tells me, that PHP5 is required and it's aborting.

Can somebody please give me a hint, where I can look for a suitable mediawiki version or what else I could do instead?

Need this stuff urgently :D
