Is there any way we can set a different vB style for Wiki?

[InfoNirvana]

I think it make much more sense to have the Navigation Panel to the right, not left.
Does this support Wiki Linking yet ? [Page Two]

I am trying to combine vbMediaWiki with TreeAndMenu (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TreeAndMenu). The idea is to have folder trees on the left sidebar of MediaWiki.

vbMediaWiki is running fine, but I was not able to make TreeAndMenu in MediaWiki work. My guess: TreeAndMenu requires Monobook, but vbMediaWiki is using vector. The code I have to add to LocalSettings.php is Monobook specific:

$wgHooks['MonoBookTemplateToolboxEnd'][] = 'wfNavTree';
function wfNavTree() {
...

Does anybody had an idea what to use instead of MonoBookTemplateToolboxEnd?

Thanks

Hi, first of all thanks a lot for this bridge, is very very nice.

I'm experimenting this issue: my vbulletin admin account (primary Aadministrator) is created in wiki but it has not the edit/create rights.
Then i tested with a user with primary group User and all went ok. Also i tested with a custom usergroup and all ok also in this case.

Also, when i click on the special page with the list of WIKI usergroup i see duplicated usergroup. For example, 2 user usergroup...or 2 burocrat usergroup, one of them is translated in italian, the language of vbulletin and wiki installation

[Darksky]

I'm checking the usergroup right and it seems that Administrator doesn't have the create/edit rights that users have .... hummmm it seems that "high" level users such us Sysop (administrator) and burocrat, do not include also the rights of low level users such as Users. Is it normal ?

This seems to be broken in 4.0.8 - It will load but the layout is messed up.

I found out what this issue is
i noticed that that only occurs in 4.03.. in 4.07 i do not have that issue.

the problem lies in the MEDIAWIKIFORUM template in the product xml

if you delete row: 162 through 171 from the product xml it loads fine, and everything will work.

to get back the missing CSS statements, just copy the same part from FORUMHOME into the MEDIAWIKIFORUM template

that should do it

its quite easy to fix.
It seems that the sidebar.css is not loaded in the MEDIAWIKIFORUM template.

replace the line below
{wiki:raw headinclude}

with
{vb:cssfile forumbits.css,forumhome.css,widgets.css,sidebar.cs s,options.css,tagcloud.css}
