before doing this, take a screenshot of all your settings so that its easier for you to put it back after

I've writen it to the Manual (Rev. 4) already... but I just uploaded it this day

@fortforum
As simonhind said
- uninstall the product
- upload the new files, edit LocalSettings.php (one of the lines needs to be changed)
- import the new product xml
- do the settings again
- to make it perfect, delete the old wiki\includes\AuthPlugin_vbMediaWiki.php... it's not used anymore

you had not mentioned that wiki\includes\AuthPlugin_vbMediaWiki.php
is no longer needed for 1.0.3, please can you make it clear for others on your MOD description etc...

[bepe]

yes, I will do that
I renamed the AuthPlugin_vbMediaWiki.php to vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin.php, so when uploading the new version it would be not overwriten anymore.
That was part of the code cleanup, sice we are going rc now soon

next version just contains a fix for same of the wiki tables that are not shown right
e.g.: go to wiki/index.php?title=Special:Version ... there the tables have this thick borders right now
... lets see if we find something else

[Gnoll]

bepe is it possible to use wiki only with Default theme ?

well i'm using some custom themes ( gaming site ), but all s... at when opened wiki, so is there any chance users only see wiki under Default theme ?
(thx for updates)

[fortforum]

The challenge here is not to install this plugin or to set up a working mediawiki.

The hard part here is to master the LocalSettings.php so the wiki appears as you wish. Had some problems on image code and file uploading, but i worked it out eventually, even as my server is in safe mode.

Fortunately the mediawiki documentation is good, to say the least.

Getting Error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getID() on a non-object in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\includes\vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin.php on line 216

Ran diagnostic script. Came up with:

vbMediaWiki Vector
Config Test Script

Checking MediaWiki Installation: OK
  * MediaWiki Version: 1.16.0 
Checking vbMediaWiki Wiki Files upload: OK
  * vbMediaWiki Version: 1.02BETA 
Checking Forum Path: OK
  * vBulletin Version: 4.0.5 
Checking vbMediaWiki Forum Files upload: OK 
Checking Wiki db connection: OK 
Validating that it really is the Wiki DB: OK 
Checking Magic quotes: OK 

All looks fine.

Any ideas?

I can´t get vb search to work very well, as for wiki artikles doesn´t get inkluded . Going for known words in wiki turns up with nothing. Can search be refined in any way?
