HUmm it seems that your tips helped, maybe. I activated ImageMagick and now i can upload files, even if the resizing files because the sistem say me:

Error in thumbnail creation: /pathtowebroot/nwiki/bin/ulimit4.sh: line 4: usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory

I hope that wiki do not want read access on that file, but executing is enough

err...i don't know what happened but now....it works...

[Darksky]

Ok, fixed also the thumbnail problem. I forgot the / at start of convert path.

This seems a never ending story.

I can set Wiki Administrator user groups for a vbulletin users but it seems that after some minutes he looes the Administrator user groups. maybe the plugin check costantly that the wiki user groups corresponds to the vbulletin groups ?

EDIT: nevermind. It seems that what in wiki english is called "sysop", in wiki italian is called "amministratore" that is the italian transaltion for "administrator". Sorry.

Has this mod been abandoned? bepe doesn't seem to have posted for quite some time. =/ I was hoping with the recent advanced in both MediaWiki and vB4, maybe some solution might have been found to the link via user ID idea.

HI,
installed this and works pretty good but hade a few quesiotns:
I can get the wiki logo area to show on integrated skin only on forum default.
Is it possible to remove the vbulletin navbar on wiki pages (just so it shows the vbulletin log in area pluse header?
Also is it possible to make the wiki display a different logo in the header to the usual main logoo I have?
also the forum index shows this: <span style="display:none">Main Page</span>

great mod by the way
thanks
