You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

* The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Users.
* This page provides interface text for the software, and is locked to prevent abuse.

You can view and copy the source of this page:

edit: If I create a new user and give admin permission to it I can see all buttons ( edit, action, etc )....

I have checked all the code... and I've tried to recreate the problem... but no success
Someone of you need to give me access to the forum with an admin account please, without that I cannot fix that
... also I need ftp access to the wiki folder

There is no button for creating a new page, you just search for an title like "test" in the wiki search box (NOT THE FORUM SEARCH BOX!), if the title does not exist, you get an link to create the page

Hi Bepe,

I tested the installation as the Wiki is on a different subdomain. It's running so far!!

BUT i cannot login. That's the only little issue found. As i'm logging in at the Wiki page or moving already logged in to Wiki it will never log me in.

I know thatt subdomains will not be supported but i need it installed at different subdomains. I would be glad if you can help me out.

If you need a login to my Testenvironment no problem. Just drop me a PM.

Thanks!

I've come up with this now:

PHP Code:

/^[^_ #:~\/[\]]{1}[^_#:~\/[\]]*$/ 


[^_ #:~\/[\]]{1} -> for avoiding space as first char
_ -> would be converted to a space in the username
# -> Wiki does not allow it
: -> someone might use a username like 'Talk:ToMe' ... that would be a Wiki Namespace
~ -> Wiki does not allow this sequence: '~~~'
/ -> Name is used in the URL, so we cannot have users with something like "../" or "./" or "/../" in the name... so disallow the '/' or the '.'
[] -> Wiki does not allow it

Just realized that with this string as the User Registration Regex nobody can create an account. Went back to the plain alpha numeric one for the moment, but it would be nice to get the precise one working at some point.

hi,

I am very new to both Vbulletin and obviosuly vbmediawiki. My question is can vbmediawiki be used for multiple wikis off of the same site?

I have about 5 users on my site that I want each of them to have their own wiki.

[Snug]

so if my forum url is www.example.com/forums then the wiki needs to be www.example.com/forums/wiki

[Rik Brown]

This is looking great. Only problem is that our software layout is:

forums.[domain].com
wiki.[domain].com

And that appears to mess up the cookies.

Any chance to support that layout?

Thanks. -- Rik

Congrats on the excellent manual, nicely done.
Shouldn't the manual use vBMediawiki Vector ?
