MediWiki Integration

[weeno]

Can someone explain how the namespaces on vbulletin and mediawiki usernames are different? What would cause a collision?

bump!

[high]* GrendelKhan{TSU hopes there is still interest in this. [/high]

I've been trying to use this code to integrate a wiki and vbulletin.

There's a mistake in the initUser function... note the database query isn't correct. I fixed it here:

function initUser( &$user ) { 
    $vb_find_user_query = "SELECT email FROM user WHERE LOWER(username)=LOWER('" . 
addslashes($user->mName) . "')";
    $vb_find_result = mysql_query($vb_find_user_query, $this->vb_database);
    if(mysql_num_rows($vb_find_result) == 1) {
      $vb_user_info = mysql_fetch_array($vb_find_result);
      $user->mEmail = $vb_user_info['email'];
    }
    else {
      // ERROR?
    }
  }

is no one else working on this/ interested in this?

So, it seems the "_" underscore is the one of the forbidden chars in mediawiki.... so might cause some collision issues with vb's user database.

still working on this to see how to best resolve these issues.

well I'm glad someone is working on it. Sorry I can't contribute on that end. but just wanted to say I think this would be a KILLER hack if ya got it work.

<<< keeps fingers crossed.

I have been trying to work this out for 3.5 as well, i will post any of my results here.

Ya, the namespace is a problem... One way around it is to limit the vb name space... you want to make sure there are no spaces etc... i just do it in the vbulletin register.php file in vb...

---
Another point:

Not sure what the error was in the original code, BUT even after using the code by weeno, i get this error the FIRST time a user logs in (with the correct password)

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/sitename/public_html/wiki/includes/SpecialUserlogin.php on line 314

the user is actually created, but this error still comes up... not sure why... the user can then login.. i am isung mediawiki 1.5 and vb 3.5...

Thx.
