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.

sorry editing again but now i installed mediawiki-1.14.0 in my forum also put LocalSettings.php file in public_html/ folder and also added these 2 lines


require_once( "$IP/includes/DefaultSettings.php" );
After it, add these two lines:
define( VB_SYSTEM_PATH, '/var/www/html/forum' );
require_once( "$IP/includes/AuthPlugin_vBSSO.php" );

but problem is still same my site redirect to yahoo

It's not redirecting to Yahoo, it's going to a Not Found Page. You haven't set the path to your wiki correctly yet, either in in the Local Settings or in the Admin CP.

below path i put in admincp

http://www.mknexusonline.com/wiki/article/Main_Page

and this below path i put in localsetting
define( VB_SYSTEM_PATH, '/home/xxx/public_/forums' );

is above path are not correct?

[Digital Jedi]

What is this /article subfolder you have the main page in? It's supposed to be /wiki/Main_Page. You probably need to do a little more research on how short URLs are set up. I don't think you can put the wiki contents in another subfolder.

The path to your wiki should be the full URL to your wiki installation: http//www.yoursite.com/wiki

Seems not to work any more with vB4.0.3, at least not the German one... Any one tried it?

[gamerfu]

does wiki need to share the same db as the vB one?

ADD:
I am using ...

WikiMedia 1.15.3 (latest).  
All edits are done. 
Recieve 500 Error when modified LocalSettings.php.
Using PHP 5.2.11 and MySQL 5.0.87-community-log

Do I have to run 1.14.0?
Do I have to move wiki to my forum folder?

[BRotondi]

I'm affraid, that at the moment both vBulletin-Mediawiki bridges are not supportet. I tried to make vbMediaWiki (Single Thread at vbulletin.org) as clear as possible. Works only with vB4 but is really a nice solution.
