Hi guys,

Here is an updated version to SpankMe's version (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=392) with some fixes and one that is working with VB 4.2 PL3 and Mediawiki 1.20.2 .

You can access the manual and diagnostics at www.YourSite.com/YourWiki/vbmediawiki/

** To avoid the edit permissions issue, navigate to your wiki/maintenance/ directory
and run :

 php resetUserTokens.php

Alternatively, upload the attached resetUserTokensNull.php to the wiki-maintenance directory (it only sets the tokens for users who do not have one - much faster). And set it up as a cron job every hour... This is (still) the best solution I've found so far.


Installation instructions:
1. Upload the wiki_upload files to the wiki folder, and the forum_upload files to the forums folder.
2. Import the product in vbulletin.
3. Set the variables in Settings --> Options --> vBulletin Mediawiki.
4. Grant permissions to various usergroups.
5. Add tab to the wiki under Settings-->Navigation Manager. Set the "Tab scripts" field to "mediawiki".

Release Notes:
Version 1.1 (21 Jan 13):
* The diagnostics page is fixed.
* The navigation bit (login and logout links) in the Vector skin is fixed. <-- If you use the vector skin with memcached, this improved my cache efficiency meaningfully (suspect because how the login/logout link was created for not-logged in users).

Version 1.2 (2 Feb 13):
* Upgrade instructions: upload files, upgrade product using XML file.
* Support for short URLs. You MUST update the wiki path if you install this version. The previous version works fine, except that the sitemap (and other links to the wiki) create by vbulletin refers to the old style links.
Now, Instead of specifying the wiki path as www.SITE.com/YourWiki (no trailing slash), you now should enter it as www.SITE.com/YourWiki/index.php?title= OR www.SITE.com/ShortURL/ (with trailing slash).
* For more on mediawiki short URLs, see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache or http://shorturls.redwerks.org/ .

Version 1.32 (13 Feb 13): (also changes from 1.30, 1.31):
* Upgrade instructions: upload files, upgrade product using XML file.
* Wiki submenus show in integrated skins.
* Loss of session data errors should be fixed.
* Reduced queries for logged-in users.
* Fixed issue with diagnostics page (likely linked with a apc bug).

Thank you - i will try this at weekend on my vB 4.2 and MW 1.16...

I'm going to try and tackle installing this shortly also.

Just one question for now. In reading through this thread before I believe I came across issues mentioned about spaces within a "username" like "Bill Smith". Is this still something that is still causing issues in the unified login between vb and MediaWiki?

Hi, I'm having a problem with WikiEditor. I already installed the correct extension on my MediaWiki 1.20.2 but the editor doesn't show when I'm using forum skin. When I use vector skin all is working fine.

Anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks in advance

Hi fernas,

i am able to see the editor in all skins on my installation. for some reason, i am unable to see the wikieditor toolbar in any of the skins, but suspect that is an issue with mediawiki/javascript rather than the skin.

the stupid suggestion is to delete all history/cookies and do it again. also if you are using APC with stat=0, you might like to flush apc as well.

Hi,

i have a probs. I install the files from forum_upload to vbull->forum path and the wiki -> wiki path, and the xml addon was ok. And i have made an new navtab like ->wiki etc.
That shows me on:
1 of 7: Checking MediaWiki Installation

Warning: require(/includes/SiteConfiguration.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/web321/html/vbulletin_test/vb4/wiki/includes/AutoLoader.php on line 1145

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/includes/SiteConfiguration.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/web321/html/vbulletin_test/vb4/wiki/includes/AutoLoader.php on line 1145

maybe some idea? i was so glad to see that add on.

best regards

Updated new version of file in Post 421 ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=421 ) . Unclear why the error appeared, but should be ok now!

Hi ndahiya,

the error was a mistake of myself. i forgot the localsettings.php to change. At the moment all right, but 3 things are not so beauty.

If i click on the wiki button, i see the "forum button" navbar as selected. How can i switch that is highlight to the wiki button?

Second little prob, if i logged me into vbull, then changed the wiki navi from vbull style to wiki style.

Thrird prob, where is the options?

If you have soltutions about that i am very happy ;-)

Hi,

anybody knows about seo friendly url code ? I have on a other page the htaccess and localsettings adjusted and it works fine, no index.php or other snippet. Maybe someone has an idea.

htaccess code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?images/thumb/[0-9a-f]/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)px-.*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/thumb.php?f=$1&width=$2 [L,QSA,B]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?images/thumb/archive/[0-9a-f]/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)px-.*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/thumb.php?f=$1&width=$2&archived=1 [L,QSA,B]

LocalSettings.php

# seo
$wgScriptPath = "";
$wgScriptExtension = ".php";
#$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
$wgArticlePath = "/$1";
