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!
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).
I changed the 'HTML Character Set' to utf-8 and don't appear to be having any ill effects. I use english however, is this only a problem on non-english languages?
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
It's self made. I rewrote my posting vbMediaWiki 4.0.2 RC 2 #274 and deleted the old one which was unclear. I think, you have another Problem, but if your modifications also use {vb:raw relpath}, perhaps it helps replacing them with
... But first deactivate each other Add to see which one causes the problem.
Good Luck!

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 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

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'
