Important: This (finally) has stopped working with Mediawiki 1.18 .

works with vb 4.1.9 and Mediawiki 1.17 . but upgrading to MW1.18 breaks a bunch of stuff. login still works, but skin integration is a problem, advanced edit toolbar is not visible etc... I am back to MW 1.17 for now...

ndahiya

This is a session problem. I have not found a way to solve it not even after adding various upload extensions to the wiki (I was expecting another plugin uses different methods) or even after adding session_save_path to scripts.

If you turn the plugin off then all works fine with the wiki.

Even looked around on the net to see if their is a working installation that can upload files to the wiki. I found nothing since some of the forums restrict edits before you do a certain amount of post while the ones that are open to edits have the same exact problem. After this I consider this plugin broken. The upload feature in a wiki is essential

It's a shame to have such an excellent integration script that brakes wiki uploads

I installed this mod last weekend and got wiki uploads working just fine on my side. I'm using Mediawiki 1.17.2 and vBulletin 4.1.10

Have you disabled magic_quotes in php? Trying to do anything with the wiki was hell until I got that setting sorted out.

I have to say this is one impressive mod. It may need a little tweaking here and there to clean things up and get everything working as advertised, but it really is 95% there. Bepe, I don't know where you've gone, but I really appreciate what you've put together here. It must have been a pile of work...

Some demo's would be awesome. The creator of this plugin's website / screenshots is completely dead.
