Looking at installing this also. I found this:

http://www.qtcentre.org/wiki/vbmediawiki/

Edit: after actually installing it, /wiki/vbmediawiki/ works with my own install. After a couple small tweaks the install is looking great and I support any effort to keep this mod alive and up-to-date.

I have updated bepe's mod to work on vB 4.1.12 and MediaWiki 1.19.

I have tested on a clean install of the above versions as well as two of my sites that use this mod after updating them to the above versions and all seems to work ok.

Thanks for the effort and for sharing SpankMe! Good to know there is still interest in this great mod. I'll test it out and let you know if I run into any issues.

SpankMe's update is working perfectly for me, I use the vector integrated view. Thanks again!

I made one slight enhancement to add the wiki home link to the breadcrumb:

SpankMe: this is sufficiently different from the old mod (version compatibility, some "enhancements") that you should release it as a separate thread...

I've uninstalled this. However, the database is still a bit messed up. N

When I try to make an account for "Nickname", I receive this message: Login error. Username entered already in use. Please choose a different name.

When I ask for a password, I receive this message: There is no e-mail address recorded for user "Nickname".

Has anyone found a solution for this? I'm yet to resolve peoples accounts with this. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Yeah it would be great if someone would continue that mod in a seperate thread. I doubt we'll ever see bebe again since he's already gone for almost 1,5 years now.

I'm using: vB 4.1.10 + WM 1.19
Since I'm applying skins ( vbMediaWikiForum or vbMediaWikiVector)
Getting errors:

Fatal error: Class 'vB_Template' not found in /home/maersk/public_html/wiki/skins/vbMediaWikiForum.php on line 491

or

Fatal error: Call to undefined function construct_navbits() in /home/maersk/public_html/wiki/skins/vbMediaWikiVector.php on line 680

Thanks.

I realize this mod doesn't get support from its creator anymore, but maybe one of you guys can help me. I've got everything installed, and it looks fine. However, the program is not linking up user names (i.e. creating a matching account from vB to Media wiki). Any ideas for a fix?

[mohammad6006]

for vb 4.2.x ?
