we`re having big problems with uploading images (session invalid), usernames with ???(forum ist NOT in utf-8), and some smaller glitches.

i think converting the forum to utf-8 would be an option - but the efford seems mighty.

I am using vbulletin 4.1 and mediawiki 1.19
its working to perfection, make sure you READ all the posts as someone posted a fixed version on page 27, also a link to a working manual.

The only question I have,

How can I change "wiki" to "something else" and put WIKI first and FORUM second?

1) Mainly I can not edit the wiki, as any user.
I have made sure the :can login: option is selected for the right user-groups, and have edited my localsettings.php to make sure nothing is blocking this,

2) in the wiki VBMEDIAWIKI location, when I click on ADMIN TOOLS, I get :** Access denied! ***:

3) Same area I try to go to DIAGNOSTICS and I get

1 of 7: Checking MediaWiki Installation

Fatal error: Class 'SiteConfiguration' not found in /home/lawiki/public_html/includes/DefaultSettings.php on line 32

I am now on vb 4.2 patch 2 and mediawiki 1.19.2

1. the edit permission issue: it appears to be a problem (in vb 4.2 only or other versions also?) due to token issues. For some reason, the token is not being created for "new" wiki users.

one fix that has worked for me is to run: php resetUserTokens.php in wiki/maintenance/
I have create a updated version resetUserTokensNull.php that only sets the tokens for users who do not have one. And i set it up as a cron job every hour... This is the best solution i can find so far.

2. and 3. the diagnostics /admin tools appears to be broken for good.


There seems to be another issue with the way caching is being done in SpankMe's version. Memcached cache performance has falled from close to 100% to ~75% (that is a HUGE difference). Not sure why.

Lastly: for not-logged-in users, instead of login at the top right of the wiki (using the Vector skin), see this

    <0>    Back to the Forum

where the &lt... links to the logout link...



SpankMe? : Please create this mod as a new thread as it has undergone so many changes.

set it up in VB Admincp/Settings/Navigation Manager

[Draffi]

Looks like something is messed up with my value for "forumspath"...

Can somebody gives some example of the right path?

My forum is www.mydomain.com and my wiki is www.mydomain/wiki/

There are no errors...nothing...the diagnostics stopped at point 3

Have the same issue. Any solution for this?

It would be nice if this plugin was relaunched and actually worked with the latest version of vBulletin .

vb 4.2.0 PL3 and MW 1.20.2 does not work. even with spankys version.
Anyone got 4.2.0 PL3 - and some working bridge? I`d like to know if maybe 1.19.0 works - oder if 4.2.0 PL3 breaks everything...

greets, Nik
