vbWiki Standard - vBulletin+MediaWiki integration
Developer Last Online: Aug 2010
Update:
9/28/2007: vbWiki Std v1.3 RC5 is now available for download. This version adds compatibility with MW 1.11.0+ 5/17/2007: vbWiki Std v1.3 RC4 is now available for download. This version is compatible with MW 1.10.0+ and vBulletin 3.6.6+ 1/21/2007: vbWiki Std v1.0.2 RC3 is now available for download. This version fixes the 'session error' that used to happen on some installations of MediaWiki 1.9.x. Description: vbWiki Standard is the lite version of vbWiki Pro. vbWiki Standard allows the integration of vBulletin and MediaWiki user authentication. (vbWiki Pro is a commercial product that, in addition to the functionality found in vbWiki Standard, provides full skin integration, enhanced user management, Admin CP, editing of wiki skin in vBulletin's Style Manager, among other features.) Why should you add a wiki to your forums? Forums are great for community building with their high level of interactivity. Successful forums have hundreds or thousand of concurrent users creating and replying to threads. However due to this very reason the more your forums grow the more "collective knowledge" is scattered throughout the thousands (or hundreds or millions) of threads in your forums. Making it difficult for users to find and use. A wiki is not that good at community building, but it is a great medium to centralize this 'collective knowledge'. Enabling you to create an 'ecosystem of information' (quoting pipin ) maintained and contributed by your users. The idea behind vbWiki (both Standard and Pro) is to enable the seamless integration between these two packages (vBulletin and MediaWiki) side-by-side in your community. You (and your users and community) get the best of both worlds. Or so the theory goes... Features:
These installation instructions do not apply to vbWiki Pro. Refer to vbWiki Pro installation instructions for more information. MediaWiki and vBulletin must be installed and properly working before installing vbWiki. MediaWiki can be downloaded here.

Some versions of Mediawiki used to have the closing ?> I will add a note that if the closing ?> is not found, to simply add the require_once at the end of the file. In this case the error seems to be caused by the path not pointing to where vbWiki is installed. Please verify the install location and the path+filename in the require_once. Thanks. |

I prefer to not end any file with the closing tag because it is easy to leave empty lines at the end of the file, which then causes trouble with HTTP headers, cookies etc. |

The location seems to be correct, but I'll check again. Edit: Fixed it, thanks. |

Hi, this session error is usually caused by the PHP sessions not working properly.
Could you verify that the session.save_path is properly set in the php.ini and that it points to a directory where the web server has write permissions? You can also run vbWiki's Diagnostic Tools where more information can be found. If you'd like PM a link to your site and enable URL commands in vbWiki's settings file. Thanks. |

I got it, elf. Turns out my host hadn't set the path properly with write permissions. Its working now.
Thanks, and great hack. |

I've been using Standard on my site for quite some time now.
My Wiki: http://www.luniafan.com/wiki My Forums: http://www.luniafan.com/forums The wiki works as a free-for-all edit right now. All registered members are able to edit to their heart's content. Now, I wanted to add sysop members in th Wiki. I went ahead and input all permissions in the LocalSettings.php file in MediaWiki for the sysop group. However, when I try implementing it by putting a member in the sysop group, it seems to be giving him normal permissions - no administrating powers of a sysop. Just like he is on the same usergroup but with a different usergroup name. I was wondering if the usergroup permissions in vBulletin conflicts with MediaWiki. Because right now, no matter how many people I assign on the sysop usergroups they seem to be getting no special powers. |

Hi Strafe,
vbWiki (both Standard and Pro editions) have an option to synchronize vBulletin's usergroups into MediaWiki usergroups. If group synchronization is on (it is on by default), then whenever a user logs on, his/her MW groups are synchronized with whatever groups he/she is in vBulletin. The setting that controls this mapping is named $g_vbWiki_Usergroup_Mapping, here is an example (and the default for this setting): PHP Code:
In the example above all vBulletin users who are part of vBulletin's usergroup with id 6 (Administrators), will be added to the MW usergroups sysop and bureaucrat. This assignment overrides MediaWiki's. |

Hey there ElfMage!
Thanks for taking time in responding. What should I do if I just want to place hand-picked members in the sysop group? How should I edit the lines? |
