I've just tried it myself ... all working fine here

could you send me a link to your forum? PM or so

About the missing forum index, it was not the fault of this plugin.
Should have written, that you should not delete the whole index. Just recreate the Wiki index in

Maintenance->Update Counters->Rebuild Search Index

Hopefully some help here..

I'm having my forum on:

http://forum.domain.com and the wiki on http://forum.domain.com/wiki

When using:

define( "VB_INSTALL_PATH", ".." );
require_once( "$IP/includes/AuthPlugin_vbMediaWiki.php" );

or loads of other commands, I'm getting:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getID() on a non-object in /wiki/includes/AuthPlugin_vbMediaWiki.php on line 216

Go to the forum?s Admin Control Panel:

And press ?Edit Settings?

Please check the settings for the wiki db there (that are not the same as the forum db settings)

Now it functions perfect tense, had wasted me with the password.

Hm... no idea what the problem is there... if possible send me an link to your forum.
And try the new 1.02 beta, it includes a new diagnostic script it will:
- check all files
- check the vb and wiki installation
- check all settings
- check the server
- check the database
... perhaps it will tell you what the problem is
Anyway, it would be very interesting for me what the problem was, so that I can fix it or so that I can make it more clear how to install this product right.

@Desiderius
The new editor is a new extension, which works only for the new 1.16 wiki.
It's part of the MediaWiki UsabilityInitiative extension

I am getting the same ERROR after update to BETA 2

Had an issue too that i could not fix, resulting in just a blank page.

Deleted all files, re-installed mediawiki, re-imported product and i was on-line again.

Looks like this now: http://www.fortforum.se/medwiki/inde...itle=Huvudsida

Never understood what the problem was unfortunately, but my guess is that it was a conflict somewhere, as the script do not uninstall the product.
