MediaWiki vBulletin Integration

[redlabour]

Thats all you can see now for 2 Days :

I have the site down for some major restructuring. I posted a 'maintenance' message on the home page, forum, etc, but I didn't catch that entry point you mention.

Basically, I am moving all plugin/developer/design content to a new site that will be a better home for it. I think both sites should open again later on tonight or tomorrow morning.

That is the entry Point you posted here in the first Posting.

Anyway - thx for Information.

[ElfMage]

Thanks.

The site is back online. In addition, all development content has been moved to www.arcanetek.com.

Both sites still require some work (skinning, navigation, content, etc). But the are functional.

ElfMage has done a really great job with this Mediawiki bridge.

The more testers we have, the better. It's no big deal to set up a development wiki because the bridge does not touch your vB files or require the installation of any vB plugins.

Painless to demo.

Same here! That would be great.

Can we have an update on how things are going?

[ElfMage]

Things are progressing. The project was moved to www.arcanetek.com (the site is also under construction, but it has all the information / downloads there).

In the next build the following changes will be found:

• The extension will be renamed to vbWiki (its original name was luxury_vBulletin, because it was initially coded for www.luxurywiki.com, since then it has been released to the public, and the previous name is not as applicable .
• Added new settings to control whether to allow MW to create forums automatically.
• Rather than redirecting the talk pages from MW to a new forum per page, it will use one forum for all talk pages, and one thread per page.
• A brand new MW skin, named vbMonoBook is now being shipped with vbWiki. This is a MW skin that makes MW assume the look from vBulletin (including navbar, login form/welcome+stats, footer links, and color theme).

In addition, in the past couple of builds several compatibility issues with php4 and MW 1.6.8 have been addressed.

The pace is a bit slower than ideal since this is not a full time project. But, we are getting there...

this is the part that I was waiting on
if the bridge can take as much of it's style from vBulletin templates (header-navbar-footer) then with the other integration being so seemlessly good I may just propose to the hack straight out and ask it to marry me.


much kudos to ElfMage (Y)
