Same here. Wondering if a 3.8 version will be made.

I assume there isn't too much coding involved.

How does this merge accounts? How do I login to my wiki account if I had a different username on the forum and wiki? How does one register for the wiki?

Thanks

I would read the directions but the coder's site is "OOS."

is this mod actually working for some? I'm getting the same error previously posted twice but never address, it's most likely that I just did something stupid, this is one of the harder mods I've installed to be honest. But I guess I'm curious if I get past this first hurdle, will there just be a ton more that I'm going to have to figure out. It doesn't look like the author of this mod and been on since Aug. so I just don't want to waste too much time digging in versus finding another option.

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home6/mmacrypt/public_html/w/includes/vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin.php on line 9

Thanks for any input guys.

It's really a pity that this mod seems to have been abandoned. If it's not working on the latest vB4, and given that the mod author and his site seem to have vanished, is anyone up to the challenge of re-writing this for the latest version of both vB and Mediawiki? Too many of us are being left high and dry here.

I PM'ed mmacrypt with the solution to his problem. (Rather, he messaged me and I responded).

It's working for me but I'm still on 4.0.5 (I've edited too many files to my liking, an upgrade would revert too many things).

Yes. The solution was to move the entire mediawiki directory inside the forums directory.

/public_html/forums/wiki/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php

In localsettings my install path is as follows:
define( "VB_INSTALL_PATH", "/home/novociv1/public_html/forums");
require_once( "$IP/includes/vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin.php" );

I believe my issue had to do with the fact that we run at forums.novociv.com but the code was trying to work with novociv.com/forums.

I can't access to bepe80.com and can't RTFM...

Thank You NovoCiy, I will give it a shot but it sounds like it may just be too many battles for me to win as I'm not the best at this stuff.

the problem we experience atm on saving a page:

Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still does not work, try logging out and logging back in.

if you press save again, it works, just not the first time :-/
also, page deletion does not work.

I get these bugs too. No idea how to fix it. I think I just remove pages from the database when I want to delete them.
