Integration with vBulletin - [obsolete!] vbMediaWiki 4.0.2 RC 3

This version is obsolete:

New version:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?...diawiki_vector

[benjaminlwells]

sorry for the double post. I just occurred to me, that though I want to do this, I would rather wait 'till the script is not being updated regularly, as I'm lazy and don't want to have to change the vbMediaWik files each time bepe does an update. Maybe Bebe will incorporate this idea, or maybe have an add-on version with a separate set of files if you want it like this...

Just to clarify and confirm...with this mod, the username on the forums needs to be identical to the username on the wiki, correct?

We've long had username changes enabled on our forums, and it's a feature a lot of our users would prefer not to lose. Is it possible that as a future extension to this mod, it may be possible for users to link their existing forum and mediawiki accounts together via a password confirm or something similar, so that the link remains permanent between the two no matter what the exact name is on the account currently?

Hi! This one is a great heack and I testing it on my testinstallation. Just two problems I noticed for now:

a) No css changes are accepted. I edited the common.css via mediawiki and changed colors for the code and pre tag. These changes are ignored. Also changes of the default skins are ignored. And yes, I cleared my browser cache.

b) The divs are misplaced in Opera (checked it with the latest 10.50, see attachment, seen it on another users page here, cause I thought it has something to do with my own installation first )

Additional question: Isn't it risky for security reasons to turn off the magic quotes?

Very, very good work! Keep on rocking!

Thanks benjaminlwells .

@Mukashi: Yes, they must be identical. Perhaps your Idea could be done through two profile custom fields for wikiName and wikiPW for each user... but needs some research and experiments.

@Gargi: Did you changed the skin to vbMediaWiki? (LocalSettings and personal if changed.) And yes: Opera support not finished yet.

they need to be identical, but capitalization can be different.

Hi! Just haven't seen the globalWrapper thing in the css. Seems to be something special compared to the regular mediawiki css. Now I have set it to vbmediawiki and was able to do my changes within the common.css.

I only have two css modifications that works on a pure 1.15.1 installation but not within the integrated one:

#toc,
.toc,
.mw-warning {
	border: 1px solid #aaa;
	background-color: #d0effb;
	padding: 5px;
	font-size: 95%;
	border-collapse: separate;
}

and

body.page-Hauptseite h1.firstHeading { display:none; }

Having those also working would make the hack quite perfect for me

Thanks for any help!

Where is this file located? I cannot find it... and these instructions are too vague and actually kinda incorrect!
It's supposed to be Upload the contents of the "forum_upload" directory into your forum root directory. not wiki root, I suggest you fix that, as your readme.txt in the package states the correct way, and some install instructions are missing in your first post.

Anyway where can I find the file to put in these 2 lines? Instructions dont specify this. And my wiki is located at www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/wiki vbulletin forum is in the root (public_html)

Thanks.

I guess you mean the LocalSettings.php ? This file ist created within the config directory after the mediawiki installing procedure. Just copy the LocalSettings.php with the inserted vbmediawiki lines into the the wiki root directory. Dont't forget to chmod the config directory back to 755.

what config directory? yeah I mean that file, but where is it? where to find it? Full directory please? my wiki is contained in www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/wiki and my vbulletin forums is at www.brotherhoodofgamers.com , (the root)

These instructions barely describe how to install this mod.
