Update:

9/28/2007: vbWiki Std v1.3 RC5 is now available for download. This version adds compatibility with MW 1.11.0+

5/17/2007: vbWiki Std v1.3 RC4 is now available for download. This version is compatible with MW 1.10.0+ and vBulletin 3.6.6+

1/21/2007: vbWiki Std v1.0.2 RC3 is now available for download. This version fixes the 'session error' that used to happen on some installations of MediaWiki 1.9.x.

Description:

vbWiki Standard is the lite version of vbWiki Pro. vbWiki Standard allows the integration of vBulletin and MediaWiki user authentication.

(vbWiki Pro is a commercial product that, in addition to the functionality found in vbWiki Standard, provides full skin integration, enhanced user management, Admin CP, editing of wiki skin in vBulletin's Style Manager, among other features.)

Why should you add a wiki to your forums?

Forums are great for community building with their high level of interactivity. Successful forums have hundreds or thousand of concurrent users creating and replying to threads.

However due to this very reason the more your forums grow the more "collective knowledge" is scattered throughout the thousands (or hundreds or millions) of threads in your forums. Making it difficult for users to find and use.

A wiki is not that good at community building, but it is a great medium to centralize this 'collective knowledge'. Enabling you to create an 'ecosystem of information' (quoting pipin ) maintained and contributed by your users.

The idea behind vbWiki (both Standard and Pro) is to enable the seamless integration between these two packages (vBulletin and MediaWiki) side-by-side in your community. You (and your users and community) get the best of both worlds.

Or so the theory goes...

Features:
  • Single sign-on for vBulletin and MediaWiki (users log in only once)
  • Supports mapping of vBulletin usergroups to MediaWiki user roles
  • Users viewing wiki pages are shown in vBulletin's "What's going on?" section (both guests and registered users)
  • Supports auto-authentication, users who choose to be "remembered" are logged in upon visiting the site to both vBulletin and MediaWiki.
Installation:

These installation instructions do not apply to vbWiki Pro. Refer to vbWiki Pro installation instructions for more information.

MediaWiki and vBulletin must be installed and properly working before installing vbWiki. MediaWiki can be downloaded here.
  • Create a new directory in your forums directory named vbWiki.
  • Upload the content of the installation package to this new directory.
  • Rename the file vbWiki_Init.php-dist to vbWiki_Init.php
  • Open the file LocalSettings.php found in your MediaWiki directory in a text editor and at the very end find the following line and remove it if present:
PHP Code:
?> 
  • Add the following code at the end of the file (entering the correct directory path):
PHP Code:
require_once "/absolute/path/to/your/forums/vbWiki/vbWiki_Init.php"
Troubleshooting:

If you run into any trouble installing vbWiki (blank page, logins not working, etc.), follow these instructions to temporarily turn on vbWiki's Diagnostic Tools.

Open vbWiki_Init.php (or vbWikiPro_Init.php) and find this line:

PHP Code:
$run_vbWikiPro_diag_tools false
And change it for this:

PHP Code:
$run_vbWikiPro_diag_tools true
Navigate to the wiki home page, and see the results.

Changes:
  • 0 vBulletin files to Edit
  • 1 MediaWiki file to Edit
  • 10 vbWiki Files to Upload
Requirements:
  • vBulletin v3.5.4 (version 3.6.x recommended)
  • MediaWiki 1.6.8+ (recommended 1.7.x+).
  • PHP4+
Uninstalling...
  • To uninstall vbWiki Standard simply remove (or comment) the line added to LocalSettings.php.
  • Optionally remove the directory vbWiki from your forums directory.

If you would do, what wiki expects you to do ... you would have seen that this is the same small bug described above.

I just added return true to all functions in vbWiki_Hooks.php and it works perfectly with 11


thanks a lot

Cool. Glad to hear that.

We'll be releasing a new version in 2-3 weeks, that will include these changes.

Hey ElfMage, seems like vbWiki Standard isn't compatible with the new MediaWiki version 1.11.0.

I only get the following error on my Wiki main page when trying to run it (with $wgShowExceptionDetails = true):

Quote:
Internal error

Detected bug in an extension! Hook vbWiki_GetLocalURL_Hook failed to return a value; should return true to continue hook processing or false to abort.

Backtrace:

#0 /var/www/html/collaborative/tools/includes/Title.php(838): wfRunHooks('GetLocalURL', Array)
#1 /var/www/html/collaborative/tools/includes/Title.php(739): Title->getLocalURL('', false)
#2 /var/www/html/collaborative/tools/includes/Wiki.php(170): Title->getFullURL()
#3 /var/www/html/collaborative/tools/includes/Wiki.php(45): MediaWiki->initializeSpecialCases(Object(Title), Object(OutputPage), Object(WebRequest))
#4 /var/www/html/collaborative/tools/index.php(89): MediaWiki->initialize(Object(Title), Object(OutputPage), Object(User), Object(WebRequest))
#5 {main}

Any new update of vbWiki to fix this anytime soon?

EDIT:
This seems to be your problem (I had to patch 3 or 4 hook functions in your code to make it work again, no biggie, but you'd probably want to do it in the release version anyway):

Yes, some members made the modifications as listed above and got it working.

However, we just released vbWiki Std 1.3 RC5 which is compatible with MW 1.11+

Feel free to download it and let me know if it doesn't fix these errors.

Hi, please download v1.3 RC5, and verify that the correct line is added to the LocalSettings.php.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply,

i did what you recommended and installed RC5.

I put

PHP Code:
require_once "/absolute/path/to/your/forums/vbWiki/vbWiki_Init.php"
with the right path at the end of the

LocalSettings.php

(there is no ?>)

but still nothing happens. It seems, that the LocalSettings is not called neither the vbWiki_Init.php

Thanks
Alfred

Hi Alfred,

Just to be sure, you replaced the '/absolute/path/to/your/forums' with the correct local path, correct?

Could you send me a PM with a link to your wiki/forum?

Thanks.
