MediaWiki/vBulletin Single Sign-On · **Released**: 09-17-2008

Overview:
This hack provides single sign-on capability for MediaWiki using your vBulletin users. You must ensure your cookie path in Admin CP is set to '/' for this to work. Also, I have not tested this if your wiki and your forums are on different subdomains - but as long as your have your cookie domain set properly it *should* work. This is not a user bridge - it is a complete single sign-on using your vBulletin user repository.

The install process has been extremely simplified in version 2.x of this product. You only have to edit LocalSettings.php, import a product, and change a setting in your Admin Control Panel. It's been completely packaged as a vBulletin product - unlike the previous hacked up version, heh. I didn't originally plan to release this so I designed it so it worked - not so it could be redistributed. I searched high and low for a functional MediaWiki bridge - almost bought NuHIT's product, and then realized it had been abandoned for over a year.

This hack no longer requires an edit to class_core.php.

I'll do my best to support it, but I can make no promises.

This thread is for discussion of this mod on vB 3.7.x. For vB 3.8.x, please use the MediaWiki/vBulletin Single Sign-On 3.8 thread

Demo of plugin in action: MyMMOGames - Multiplayer Gaming and Media Community

Also, if you use memcached - ensure you do not cache sessions. If you do, restart it at least once a week. If you don't, you'll end up with invalid session errors out of MediaWiki.

Just installed on vb 3.8.1 and Mediawiki 1.14.0... Looks fine....

Just make sure you follow: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=273

For what is worth, I was using vbwiki Pro... transition appears to be seamless...

Cookies aren't working. It says I'm logged in, redirects me, and then I'm logged out again.
Just so you know, I installed mediawiki and the hack, my forum is here: http://forums.mtgdarkness.com and my wiki is here: http://forums.mtgdarkness.com/wiki

I've asked this before ... I'm currently running two wikis connected to a single vBulletin forum. I'm using vBWikiPro which works well so far (on vB 3.7.5). However I want to upgrade to 3.8 but won't do so unless I find a working solution to keep everything running. Anybody got an idea if this mod is able to do this?

murekhalir · #**295** 03-09-2009, 12:08 AM

this might be stupid - if this allows login,

what mod actually allows bridging?

BRotondi · #**296** 03-16-2009, 09:17 AM

@OneShot: Yes, I also use 2 Wikis on 1 Forum.
@MTGDarkness: Ctrl-F5 (Firefox) is necessary sometimes from inside wiki... hope this helps you

@BRotondi : Can you post a step by step explanation how you got those two wikis to work with the mod?

Strafe · #**298** 03-17-2009, 03:26 AM

I'm getting the following error after following the latest instructions... can anyone please enlighten me?

Using on latest wiki version and vb 3.8.1

Thanks you!

Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt, Mediawiki ist ja bereits eine super professionelle und nur schwer zu handhabende Software. Das vBulletin ist ein verkorkster Haufen von halb service und leicht und gemeine Geschichten im Code.

Die Standard Anleitung hat auf Anhieb funktioniert und der Login ist universell, dafür möchte ich mich ganz herzlich bedanken.

PRESS INSTALLLLLL!!!!

Vielen Dank

Next Step: Hardlinks MediaWiki-Discussion -> vBulletin-Forum

In perhaps four hours I will have time to finish the following code, for this purpose:

PHP Code:


			
// Discussion-Forum no yet created?
$sql = 'SELECT `forumid` FROM `forum` WHERE 
  `parentid` = "[ID_ParentForum]" AND `title` = "[Page Title]";
(...)
If (..) {
  //Create Forum (better but don’t know how to do:
  //  Create only when clicked, perhaps through Java-Script
}

// Create formating
//  More than 0 Threads?
If (..) {
  // Exist-Formated
} else {
  // Not-Exist-Formated
}

// Create link

Does anyone already have some code for this? Any information which helps me save some time very appreciated - so perhaps I can finish this even this evening

In a first step the code has to be put in sthe style-php, where the Discussion-Link is beeing created. This point I already managed. The whole code/solution will be placed here.
