Hello. Im not sure if that is already solved but i got a problem after uploading the vB Files.
The Installation of the Wiki itself was ok and it was running but after i installed the files from here i got some errors. I hope that somebody can help me

• First picture is the Option-Settings in vB ACP
  
• This is the Link to the Wiki http://test.brainlag.eu/wiki/ - I really dont know why i get this error
  
• and this is what i?ve added into the LocalSettings.php

define( "VB_INSTALL_PATH", "test.brainlag.eu/wiki" );
require_once( "$IP/includes/vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin.php" );

Thanks for the help

It would probably help if you listed the errors you saw

[lubbie]

What Error do u need? Just click the link then u will see what i mean. I dont wanted to "spam" this Thread. Might be easier this way?!

Your Boardpath is wrong - look at your own diagnosticscript
http://test.brainlag.eu/wiki/vbmediawiki/

I guess you have sth. wrong somewhere in a path-config...

Tryout the manual - I guess there are several things described you may haven't
in your mind yet...


By the way:
Could someone give me a hint:
Where in the css I can change the layout of the letters in white?

TIA

[lubbie]

Got it. I was... a bit blind at all.


When i try to edit the Sidebar with link.to.board/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&action=edit

I get this

Your edit has been rejected because your client mangled the punctuation characters in the edit token. The edit has been rejected to prevent corruption of the page text. This sometimes happens when you are using a buggy web-based anonymous proxy service.

i have updatet on VB4.0.6 and running the Vector 1.0.5



Any Idea where i can fix it ?

[bepe]

check the "mediawiki_navbar_link" template, it did not get overwriten... did you uninstall the old version before installing hte new one?

anyway, there you see a line:
{wiki:raw personal_urls}

replace that line by:
<!-- {wiki:raw personal_urls} -->

then it should be working

I am running the old mod with mw 1.15 and vb 4.0.5, and would like to upgrade to this mod with 4.06 and 1.16. With the old mod I'd get an occasional issue with user IDs, so I was wondering about the following.

If I start with a clean install of 1.16 mw, and my exiting 4.0.6 vb, and then import all of my old pages, will my vb users be able to full use/contribute to the wiki? Will they see their contributions as long as their vb user name is the same as the mw username, even though the mw uername table will now be empty (aside from the admin)? It seems like this might really clean up my systems. Thanks for any advice.

I did some tests, because I've never used the import thing until now...

The result is, that importing a page also contains the user name, so it would show the creators user name even if the user does not exist in vb.
If the user exists, then all his pages will still be his contibutions.

But there is a problem: the vb user wiki stats will show '0' created/edited pages.
... I'll look into it... will try to fix that, but only if i'is possible without making a db query every time the user profile is shown... else it would be bad for the performanc
