Integration with vBulletin - MediaWiki/vBulletin Single Sign-On

Overview:
This hack provides single sign-on capability for MediaWiki using your vBulletin users. You must ensure your cookie path in Admin CP is set to '/' for this to work. Also, I have not tested this if your wiki and your forums are on different subdomains - but as long as your have your cookie domain set properly it *should* work. This is not a user bridge - it is a complete single sign-on using your vBulletin user repository.

The install process has been extremely simplified in version 2.x of this product. You only have to edit LocalSettings.php, import a product, and change a setting in your Admin Control Panel. It's been completely packaged as a vBulletin product - unlike the previous hacked up version, heh. I didn't originally plan to release this so I designed it so it worked - not so it could be redistributed. I searched high and low for a functional MediaWiki bridge - almost bought NuHIT's product, and then realized it had been abandoned for over a year.

This hack no longer requires an edit to class_core.php.

I'll do my best to support it, but I can make no promises.

This thread is for discussion of this mod on vB 3.8.x. For vB 3.7.x, please use the MediaWiki/vBulletin Single Sign-On 3.7 thread

Also, if you use memcached - ensure you do not cache sessions. If you do, restart it at least once a week. If you don't, you'll end up with invalid session errors out of MediaWiki.

Where? In the Wiki? In the "Who is online"?

In the Wiki? No, this doesn't have anything to do with your vB installation other than bridging their accounts. You need to use Wiki markup in MediaWiki, which is similar, but different.

For vB4 i suggest to disable this AddOn and install this much more powerfull bridge: vbMediaWiki. You can use it with your actual Skin or change to the vB-integrated skin vbMediaWiki, which will keep the vB header and footer in the wiki. (Or let your user decide, since every user can choose his skin.)

This is only a bridge for MediaWiki. First install MediaWiki.

If you search a bridge for vB4: vbMediaWiki 4.0.2 RC 3. There you can find perhaps more detailed informations for all this.

I already installed MediaWiki but i don't understand about LocalSettings.php file cause there is no no file in attachment with the name of LocalSettings.php please help me

[BRotondi]

How can you have MediaWiki running, if the last install instruction is "Move LocalSettings.php to the root."?!

Can you post a Link to your wiki? Are you really able to post something in your wiki?

LocalSettings.php came with MediaWiki, not this modification.
