4. Grant permissions to various usergroups.
5. Add tab to the wiki under Settings-->Navigation Manager. Set the "Tab scripts" field to "mediawiki".

I'm in the process of setting up a shiny new website with vBulletin 4.0.2, and MediaWiki 1.20.0with Semantic 1.8.0.2. No user accounts to get in the way yet.

My plan is to set up the Wiki to be the primary purpose of the website, with the forum to be secondary. Since this is an add-on domain on my account, I would like the wiki to run from the wikidomain.com directory, and the forum to run from wikidomain.com/forums/ directory.

Will this arrangment cause any problems for this vbMediaWiki mod to work? Will it cause any problems with the cookies?

Thanks!

Edited to add: should I install the new vb forum database in the existing mediawiki database, or should I keep them separate?

so long as they are on the same domain, different folders should be fine so long as you set the paths.
i have them setup in different databases, has not been a problem. you probably want to keep them separate anyway, as it is cleaner to manage updates etc, also avoid the risk that some tables be of same names.

I get this error when trying to use Semantic Media Wiki

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfProfileIn() in /home/cruisin/public_html/w/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_Setup.php on line 463

It refers to this:

/**
 * Initialise a global language object for content language. This must happen
 * early on, even before user language is known, to determine labels for
 * additional namespaces. In contrast, messages can be initialised much later
 * when they are actually needed.
 */function smwfInitContentLanguage( $langcode ) {
	global $smwgIP, $smwgContLang;

	if ( !empty( $smwgContLang ) ) {
		return;
	}
	wfProfileIn( 'smwfInitContentLanguage (SMW)' );

	$smwContLangFile = 'SMW_Language' . str_replace( '-', '_', ucfirst( $langcode ) );
	$smwContLangClass = 'SMWLanguage' . str_replace( '-', '_', ucfirst( $langcode ) );

	if ( file_exists( $smwgIP . 'languages/' . $smwContLangFile . '.php' ) ) {
		include_once( $smwgIP . 'languages/' . $smwContLangFile . '.php' );
	}

	// Fallback if language not supported.
	if ( !class_exists( $smwContLangClass ) ) {

	}

	$smwgContLang = new $smwContLangClass();

	wfProfileOut( 'smwfInitContentLanguage (SMW)' );
}

It refers to this:

On my initial install I required needing the DataValues extension:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DataValues

but there might be some others.

I wound up installing the Semantic MediaWiki Bundle:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_Bundle

which make configuration a bit easier and includes a lot of other optional stuff.

Changing the Usergroup-Permission for "Wiki visible" brings a SQL-Error:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE vbs_usergroup SET

Unknown column 'mgc_cb_evo_permissions' in 'field list'
Error-No: 1054

Damn! I deleted this Shoutbox some weeks ago - what can i do? Delete this manually?
