MediWiki Integration

[Cyburbia]

Is there wasy integration like this yet?

I don't know if it's a bridge or real integration, but it's better than nothing.

I'm having a problem that some people had earlier, I'm getting this error message when a member trys to log in:

Warning mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/site/html/wiki/AuthPlugin_vBulletin.php on line 47

They're told that there is no user by that name, and to check their spelling or create a new account.

I saw someone mention something about prefix table name, and changing "FROM user" in Authplugin_vbulletin.php

Could someone explain this to me? I'm not a coder, and generall have to muck my way through this stuff as best as I can, but I'm afraid I'm at a dead end here.

The problem is actually a PHP problem (likely restricted to PHP 4.3.11)... so only a few lucky ones like sammyman and me get it!

it has something to do with php getting confused about the variable scope...

I was also getting this error with PHP 4.3.11. Sammyman's fix worked for me.

Been working on somthing like that, vBmediaWiki-GUI. Its still in the begining stages and i have not typed much info about it yet, but the link below has some examples. Smilies and BBcode will be added later for the Wiki end of the project and the login/register integration is working right now.

Anyway, heres the link...

Hi together,

I need to push up this thread again.

We've set up MW 1.6.7 with vB 3.5.4, tried Kai's code from #10 as well as the code found on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/VBull...rs_Integration. Both are working fine, as long as you don't need this in Germany ;-).

Our problem is the existance of german special characters (Umlaute, ????). Because for us these characters are standard, a lot of usernames are containing them.

And unfortunatly, I don't have any idea where to look, hack or modifiy the code to allow usernames like "B?rchen". I tried multiple things now for two days, but now giving up.

It's OK not to support chars like "~, +, *" and so on, but the Umlaute are really required....

If there is anybody out there who has an information where to find the required information, this would be very, very cool.

Thanks in advance for any response, I know this is more a MW related question than vB, but, who knows, maybe another german board has allready found the solution.

bye for now,
Frank

Does anyone know how this project is coming along?

vBulletin 3.6.1 is now out, last I heard, this was for 3.5.4

I would be willing to donate to help progression of this plugin.

My guess from post dates is that it has been abandoned. I heard the code in post 10 worked OK.

It looks good and I'd like to know, if anyone is still 'listening' to this thread, is anyone using it with vB 3.6.4?

maybe you should wait for the vbwiki project.

http://www.arcanetek.com/forums/index.php

the code is used at http://www.luxurywiki.com/

but they stated that they will release a vbwiki and a vbwiki pro version.

release date unknown.

[Smitty]

Yeah - I was watching it for a while but that sorta seemed to peter out. The key is: "Release date Unknown".

[Murty]

Well i am very keen for a wiki that can integrate with vb. Is there a thread i can subscribe to or something?
