MediWiki Integration

[Hellcat]

I just tried the vb-auth thing posted in this thread.
Nice one!
Works just like what I need for a project I'm currently working on, the vB members can login with the same user/pass on the wiki. GREAT!
With a bit of tweaking of the config one can also prevent not registered members to edit (or even view) the wiki pages and the wiki "register new account" can be turned of as well.

I'd be happy to participate in any way I can to take this further, but for the moment this works great for me!

Oh yes, either removing or (better) redirecting the discussion links into the vB would be cool, indeed....

I put my MediaWiki project on hold, thanks to drug spam. I'm waiting for something where I can integrate MediWiki, or some other wiki script, withe the vBulletin user database. I would like to limit Wiki editing privileges to those who have posted a few messages in vBulletin, to prevent drive-by registration for vandalism and spam. If a vBulletin user is banned, their Wiki editing privileges would be removed. I don't think that's possible with a bridge; if you ban or remove a vBulletin user, the user is still there on the MediaWiki side.

I'm still very enthusiastic about a vBulletin-MediaWiki solution and will fully support such an effort in any way I can if someone wants to pick this up. Cyburbia raises mportant considerations, but I'm optimistic.

How do I prevent users that are not logged in from posting in MW though? Can't find that flag.

In the wiki config you can specify certain permissions for different user, like "not logged in", "logged in", "admin" and such.

There you can deny not logged in users to edit MW pages by setting that permission to "false".

I looked in LocalSettings but couldn't find one that appeared to control that. Am I looking in the right file? (didn't think there was another)

This is what I have in my config:

$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['createaccount']   = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['edit']            = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move']            = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit']            = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['upload']          = true;

In the inculde directory you find a file "DefaultSettings.php" - you can browse trhough this one, there's a ton of more possible settings.
Everything you want to change, copy it into your localsettings.php and set the options like you need them.

I've been waiting for this as well..

The Drupal hack has a wiki-type software that works, but it works somewhat funky.... for some reason when I click "View" on older revisions, I don't see them, but only see the current version.

3.0.8 vB / 1.5 MediaWiki. Got it working.

Notes for those following in my footsteps:

I used Kai's suggested code in post #10. I would add details to make the process clearer that the new php file "AuthPlugin_vBulletin.php" needs to go in "includes". Copy his code exactly from that post as others *claim* to have fixed, modified and/or improved his code, but I couldn't get ANY of the other suggested coding working.

In addition Kai's addition to LocalSettings.php should be added to the end of that file, as suggested by Weno in post #52

Weeno's suggested coding in post #48 did not work for me. Niether does his attached code in post #54 Compare them side by side to Kai's and you'll see a number of differences.

For that reason, again, I'd suggest simply copying Kai's coding in post #10

I had the same problems described in Sammyman's and ndahiya's posts (the "Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/user/public_html/manuals/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php on line 314" error).

ndahiya's suggested fix in post #55 is not the suggested fix. Although it works, it requires users to log in twice (claiming the first time that the password was incorrect, even if it was correct).

Sammyman's suggested fix in post #54 works flawlessly.

I noticed that WikiSysop cannot login when applying the code listed in post #10.

Any ideas? When I comment out the lines added to LocalSettings.php, WikiSysop can login.
