[Try MySqlDumper, the best SQL-Backup I know (free).]

Server side auto backup, I use shell for local backups. I'll check that out however, thanks.

I just realized when going to make a tutorial, that my edit toolbar is gone after installing this!! I checked in my prefferences and "show edit toolbar" is checked. HELP!

Can you post a link to your vB? Or use FireBug / see generated HTML to check whether some paths are beeing brocken like
{vb:raw relpath} above

hi bepe,

i installed this replacing the 3 other mods.. basic stuff works well. but a few issues.

* the maintenance scripts in the wiki stop working!! in the prior mod (_vbSSO), they worked fine. looks like it is a issue of the path and cookies based on the errors.

* i use custom urls for the wiki: ie, /home instead of the physical path of /w/index.php . however, in the settings we do not differentiate between the two so get a bunch of issues. we should pass 2 variables (web path, and physical path).

* because of the existing integration, i have usernames that are already capitalized. so i have to skip replacing User.php to lowercase the usernames. the login works fine. however, the user edit count fails (shows as 0 in vbulletin). my mediawiki edit count mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233959) took care of it in a roundabout way, but you might like to have a look.

* if someone is using a cache (APC, memcache), then unless a cache path is set in vbulletin settings, the integration will fail (looks like a session variable thing?). in forums config.php you have to set this: $config['Datastore']['prefix'] = 'forums'; (can be any other word as well, just unique). you might like to mention it in the install instructions.

* should provide an option to turn off linkage with the talk pages in search results.

* new wiki articles: if a page has fwds (eg: test1, test2, test3 are fwds to test in the wiki, then the recent wiki changes shows ALL of them as separate entries. in the wiki, it would show as one only). Also, the recent changes and the changed list in the forum do not match (maybe coz of time zone issues? we could provide an offset in the settings and check).

* if a wiki page has sub pages (ie, book type format.. like: www.site.com/home/Abc/Def), the style integration fails... it looks like it is coz of the way the paths are interpreted. one example of the way it is trying to pull the path: http://www.site.com/home/forums/images/title.gif (see the /home/forums, instead of /forums). similar problem with some special pages like http://www.site.com/home/Special:Contributions/System

ndahiya

The same problem for subpages here. Did not find any solution for this yet

Sorry, have been busy the last days :$

Yes, should be a problem only with spechial chars like ????...
Anyway, you should change your charset ... not sure if there is any downside to it...
space is not that much of a problem... but ':' would be

yes, relpath would be broken... but not sure why u would need that in the nav bar...
relpath would always give the path to the actual page, so it should only be good for anchors or something like that...

No idea why it would be gone... it is working fine for me
... I would need a link to check that on your page too

ok, some interesting stuff in here that I did bnot try yet :)

I did never use them... but it is strange... it should be working
Can u tell me what script is not working and what commandline u used for it?

I don't support this nice URL stuff, because that would break the forums "Who's online"... so you need to disable it...
If you dont need the WOL to work, you can use the next release... it will work now even if you changed the URL thing
I store the counts with the vb user, every time someone edits or creates a page it will inclement the counter.
Your "existing integration" did not use the same place to store the data...
I understand that this is not a good way for existing wiki's, because all will start with 0 edits... but it's a fast and easy way that does not send a querry to the DB every time I need that data
Hm... need to research that... did not try it yet... and dont usderstand how all that cashing works... might need some time for that
strange, it should not be part of the search results... I just tryed it... I started a talk page with some key word... searching for that key word did not return the new page
no, it's only showing new pages, it's not the same as 'recent changes'
Can not try thatone now... but it should be fixed with the next release

I'll PM you a username and password to log in with if you want

try this in the wiki maintenance folder: php refreshImageCount.php
same issue with others. i think it might make sense to use full paths instead of relative across the mod? also something abt header already sent in the error message.. suspect the Auth file is doing more than just authenticating.

wonder if a workaround is to have 2 defined WOL locations: /w/index.php... and /home/ both called Wiki

then it is a easy fix. do a count at install to set it to a "starting" value. my mod created a starting value at install and then updated it on using a cron job (note that you might need still a index to make sure the count does not fail initially - see the install code of the other mod).

neither do i, but i suspect it is caching sessions and both mediawiki and vbulletin may be trying to set the same variable. very easy fix though with the variable definition as i mentioned.
also, i noticed something strange as i moved from memcached to apc cache (at that time, mediawiki was using apc, forums using memcached). the wiki failed (some error about memcached not found), suggesting it is the auto file that is somehow the cause. now i am using apc cache for both, and it works fine (memcached worked fine too when i used it on both forums and mediawiki. but on a single server, i can replace memcached + eaccelerator with apc cache, so its easier)

what i meant was... you show a link to "Discussion" which goes to the talk page.. it could be optional.

yes, but if you have 2 pages that link to a page with a #REDIRECT in the wiki, it is showing them all, even if the #REDIRECT pages are old.
so if i edit Page1, and had a redirect to Page1 on Page2, the what's new will show both Page1 and Page2...

--

its a great mod bepe, just some small issues.. also, you might like to highlight that the user.php edits are optional... i generally do not like to change the core files when making edits. (btw, vbulletin is case insensitive for user names while mediawiki saves them as case sensitive. so the change of default naming scheme can be a problem later)

ndahiya

Should be working now
As you wished ;) ... Therefor u got more settings now, so all kind of alias and pretty urls can be used now
hm... not that easy for me... might take some time
hm... still no idea :$ ... give me some time to check that out
It looks so empty without that link... I thought everyone would like it :)
... ok, perhaps will be optional some day
done... redirects are not shown anymore
it's a seperated folder now... u will see

ok, thanks for helping... will try to fix the remaining stuff as soon that I find some spare time :$

bepe, Love this mod bridge, How do I donate??

At the right of the first post is a link: 'The Developer'->'Support Developer'
Only paypal is possible there.

Anyway, the product is for free, even if commercial products cost much and can not do the same as this one :D
... but :D ... donations make it more easy to explain to my girlfriend why I'm spending the time working on the PC

Cheers bepe.. done :up:

I bought a "commercial" VB wiki and it was awful, This is so much better in every way!!

Hey Bepe, regarding my issue with the edit bar, I just resinstalled the wiki and then your script and it's all fine now. Must have been some glitch along the way.

Thanks for you time bepe! We will try to help you not only with $'s (go to cinema with your girlfriend "this is from my vBMediaWiki-fans!") but also debugging, ideas, ... :)
Not easy to make everyone happy :) But you don't have add an option for everything. Such personallisation can be made also through personal changes in plugins, templates, files, ... if you tell us where or we find it ourself.

@Big-Pete: Which one did you bought? A friend ist trying Vault Wiki, which seems not bad... till now... But of course a working vB-MW-bridge ist VERY interesting.

Greetings
Bruno

I think you misquoted me above, I never said what you quoted me as saying... :)

I bought Vaultwiki by mistake, asked for a refund but no joy (even though I hadn't even unpacked the download) eventually Installed it, couldn't get it to work properly, then installed the vb4 version when vb4 came out and still same issues, binned it when i see this, and so happy i did.. :)

Hey all,

I'm a little confused about what to put for Aliases for "Who's online" in the options menu. My who's online keeps giving me Unknown Location when people are in the wiki.

@Big-Pete: Oups, made a mistake with the multi quote, sorry!

pmsl... No worries, You had me going though, I thought i was going mad as couldn't remember typing what was in the quote, i was just about to go for a lie down :D:D

tell me the url that u see in "who's online"... there is Unknown Location and below there should an url

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for all the work you are doing bepe.. this is easily mod of the millennium. Maybe time to install bugzilla to keep track of any issues! :D

Well, I have the same issue: sinnimleben.net/forum/online.php ->
(but still RC2, will go to RC3 after eating).

But as you said earlier: You do not support Short URLs..., perhaps an issue of this.

all my Links is broken on RC3....

Kategorie:xxxxx

is /wiki/index.php

Look my wiki and see you self..

all Links in Sidebar or all Links with this format self result [[Category:xxxxxxxx]]


http://eot-clan.net/wiki/index.php?title=Hauptseite

My Englisch is not so good, sorry

it supports short URLs now, you will see :)

German:
Wirklich komisch, der index.php?xxx=yyy&zzz... teil fehlt
versuche es mit dieser zeile am ende der LocalSettings.php:
Aber irgendetwas ist da falsch auf deinem server...

English:
Really strange, the index.php?xxx=yyy&zzz... part is missing
Try to add this line to the end of LocalSettings.php:
But anyway, something must be wrong on your server

Siehe da es geht wieder...Vielen vielen Dank...

Dafür geht jetzt halt Who is online nicht mehr aber darauf kann ich notfals auch verzichten..

It works fine thank´s for support

Great, Subpages are working fine now. Even after switching to Short URLs.

Thank you so much bepe

Not using short URLs anyway ;)

As for what it says:

Unknown Location
/alphanex/index.php?title=Main_Page

ok, thats easy :) .... set the alias to: /alphanex/index.php

thats all, no unknown locations anymore

Thanks so much bepe, I was over thinking it and missing the simplest answer! Awesome work on this whole project!

Now if you could just fix coppermine up the same way ;)

Did not know that one, looks interesting :) ... anyway, sorry... I'll not need that for my forum, so I'll not integrating it

Oh well, it was worth a try :D

Right! :D. 1000 Thanks!

i found not LocalSettings.php everywhere

<a href="http://www.mwusers.com" target="_blank">www.mwusers.com</a> is best for all wiki problems which have nothing to do with especially this mod, but with every modification, personalisation, ... or the wiki itself.

LocalSettings.php is the file you have to know when working with MediaWiki. MediaWiki would not run, if you did not complete the installation and moved LocalSettings.php manually from /wiki/config to /wiki.

Is there already a german Version? Else I can do it and post the xml.

Good Night! (11 PM here)
Bruno

yes please
