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

why not convert the php code for inclusion in a plugin instead, tht way you would get rid of vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin.php

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)

im with this guy, either making the wiki use the whole custom templates or using another style when you are in the wiki only, anyway to do this?

LocalSettings.php has:

either a IIS error or the fact that you added a trailing slash like you werent suppoed to, try with only

define( "VB_INSTALL_PATH", "forum" );

Just thinking since it says don use trailing slash.

[Gnoll]

define( "VB_INSTALL_PATH", "../forum" );

use like it

Having a problem hm .. the wiki works fine outside of my account but whenever i am logged in the skin refuses to change and the integrated skin won't load no matter what i do, it just says on the vector skin

Edit: Managed to get the new skin showing by switching to the new skin before uploading any other files, all working fine now

I hesitate to ask as you've done just a brilliant job how could I get the wiki to return the default permissions error message "Username: you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:.." when the wiki visible permission is set to no?

Basically how can I get the vBulletin to handle the permissions missmatch rather than mediawiki for the wiki visible permission?

Thanks

Just a note: I spent the last few hours fighting to find a good regex to use for user registration, and came up with this:

^((?!admin|moderator)[A-Za-z0-9 ._-])+$

Since vBulletin does not allow Illegal User Names and Regular Expressions to be used together, you can add multiple phrases in the first portion (separated with a "|" character) that you do not want users to be able to use anywhere in their username (or as their username). The second portion checks for all characters valid in a wiki. Slashes and other characters are excluded because they cause problems, but periods, underscores, dashes, and spaces are all allowed along with alphanumeric characters. I've already tested it live and it works just fine - it's a very elegant solution. I find it preferable to the suggestion in the included pdf, since it allows for more breadth to the usernames and still allows us to customize phrases we don't want allowed as well.

I'm getting this error:

[04-Aug-2010 18:30:21] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/ACCOUNT/public_html/mydomain.com/forum/global.php(29) : eval()'d code on line 557


My forum is setup as follows:

http://www.mydomain.com

http://www.forum.mydomain.com

http://www.forum.mydomain.com/wiki


Is the problem the subdomain or is it because the wiki directory is located inside the forum directory?


Thanks for your hard work with this mod.

Just posting the new beta right now... will try to catch up tomorrow

Was working the last week on the new skin... you'll see what I mean
please give me results on how it is working or on any problems with wiki plugins and so on

When is to be calculated about on the final version, in so far as there will be generally one? Should one uninstall with a new beta the old version?
