Integration with vBulletin - Mediawiki Edits in Postbit & Profile

This hack enables better integration between MediaWiki and vBulletin.

This hack displays a user's total edits made in mediawiki in their posts and on their profile page (similar to vBulletin post count).

Release Info:
v1.0.0: Initial Release

Requirements:
* MediaWiki
* MediaWiki/vBulletin Single Sign-On integration hack. If there is a problem making it work with vb4, please also see Post 112 in that thread.

To install:
* Add the product using the attached product file.
* Perform the 2 simple template edits outlined below.

Template Edits:
1. postbit_legacy or postbit
Find:

<dt>{vb:rawphrase 'posts'}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.posts}</dd>

Add Below:

<dt>{vb:rawphrase total_wikiedits}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.wikiedits}</dd>

2. memberinfo_block_aboutme
Find:

<vb:if condition="$prepared['lastposturl']">
	<dl class="stats">
		<dt>{vb:rawphrase last_post}</dt>
		<dd><a href="{vb:raw prepared.lastposturl}">{vb:raw prepared.lastposttitle}</a> {vb:raw prepared.lastpostdate} <span class="time">{vb:raw prepared.lastposttime}</span></dd>
	</dl>
	</vb:if>

Insert Below (change the wiki path to your own: i use /home/):

<dl class="stats">
<dt>{vb:rawphrase total_wikiedits}</dt><dd><a href="/home/Special:Contributions/{vb:raw userinfo.username}"> {vb:raw userinfo.wikiedits} </a>
</dd>
 </dl>

Thats it!


Notes:
1. This hack assumes that your mediawiki install uses a "mw_" table prefix in the same database as vbulletin. If this is not the case, do a search/replace in the product XML file before you install it.
2. If mediawiki is installed in a different database, then replace "mw_user" with "wikidatabase.mw_user" (make sure that the forums' database user has access to the other db).

---
This hack is broadly based off AngelBlue's hack hack for a previous release.

Even better: I disabled this AddOn and the Modification on postbit_legacy still works! Perhaps this means: You don't even have to install this mod, simply change postbit_legacy as desired, vbMediaWiki does the rest:

In Template postbit_legacy (or postbit) search for

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts}

and add

<vb:if condition="$post['wikiedits'] > 0">
    <dt>Wiki Edits</dt> <dd><a title="Wiki Edits" href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/{vb:raw post.username}">{vb:raw  post.wikiedits}</a></dd>
</vb:if>

Greetings, Bruno

[Does anyone know how to put this Templatemodification into a plugin instead? {vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts} seems to give us this possibility]

i think vbmediawiki is using the same field as this. so you are correct. this is somewhat redundant now.
do not uninstall this, as that will delete the field and you will have to reinstall vbmediawiki

Thanks. Installed along with vBMediaWiki (No need for the second edit).

Sorry to go off topic, but what is the best MediaWiki integration to use?

I would like a single-sign on, with Who's Online compatibility & is compatible (or can atleast handle) users with underscores and spaces.

I integrated MediaWiki/vBulletin Single Sign-On as this post asks and it works fine on vBulletin 4.1.1 (after I made changes to it's Whos Online script)-- However I feel as though this stuff isn't supported and people keep throwing names around! Who's leading this development?! lol

ndahiya, you are the expert: what do you recommend?
