Followup: for anyone else considering the removal of this, it is as many of you expected (forgive me, I am not a coder nor do I play one on TV) very easy and basically a reversal of the installation.

1. Uninstall the plug-in.
2. Remove the two added lines to localsettings.php
3. Remove all associated files.
4. You're back in business with a standalone Wiki.

I'm still looking at the impact on username/passwords right now, but I would "think" that it would leave all of the data from vBulletin in there. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm just glad I could "de-integrate" without issue.

I've just upgraded to vB 4.1.2 and vbMediaWiki Vector is still working fine for me. Haven't made any changes.

I wonder if anyone can help?
I have the wiki set up and running and I did have an rss widget feeding into my vbulletin cms pulling content from the wiki feeds. All was fine then some error with the host turned magic quotes back on and even though they have been turned back off the widgets havent worked since.
The widgets work fine with any other feeds I try and the wiki feeds themselves work fine in other widgest or readers - they just wont work together with this feed. I just dont understand what the issue is if the feed is good and the widget is also.

Have someone the manual for me? The website (http://bepe80.com/vbmediawiki/#installation) is down...

electron: All you need to do is find some existing installation. They all have the docs included. For example here: http://www.qtcentre.org/wiki/vbmediawiki/

i hate it when people upload the screen caps to an external site.

does anybody have screen caps so we can see what this looks like?

Bit concerning that the developer hasn't been online this month and their website has disappeared? :S

Thank you so much Mnemonic76!! I have been looking for those instructions for a while.

Allow me to ask a question to those who already have installed this vbMediaWiki Vector successfully: What does this means:

Replace "<<placeholder>>" by the relative path to your vBulletin installation

That is on the manual on section 4.4.1 (or just here: http://www.qtcentre.org/wiki/vbmediawiki/#wiki)

Thank you in advance of your helpful answer(s)

[Stubbed]

^-- Really?

Replace "<<placeholder>>" by the relative path to your vBulletin installation. Ensure you do not add a trailing slash!

It says it right there. Something like "/var/www/site/forum" or "../forum/" or what ever suits in your installation.
