got it running. Its important to NOT use any restrictions at the install and delete them out of the LocalSettings.php if they exist there. isnt in the manual.. took me 5 days to realize the problem

Got it running with 4.1.5 and mediawiki 1.17, not bad for an unsupported (abandoned?) Product.

@PJkcards
the vector Skin is used, also a modified one, delivered with the mod itself. You can find it as
vbmediawikivector and/or vbmediawikiforum

Do you know where in those the sidebar code is? I can't seem to dig it out. Thanks

So is this MOD dead?

I've upgraded to vB 4.1.7 & MediaWiki 1.17.0 and it's works fine. In fact it works better. I no longer have to click twice to save edits or move/delete pages.

Just upgraded to vb 4.1.7
As in 4.1.0 PL2 image uploads do not work at all. In 4.1.0 PL2 some usergroups could not upload, now everyone using firefox can upload. IE, chrome, Safari and Opera are not working, getting the error:

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

I tried the common fixes like:

Check if /var/lib/php5 is writable and not readable for user and world ( # chmod 733 /var/lib/php5 )
Check to see if your session.save_path value in php.ini is valid and writable to the webserver - PHP configuration.
Check to see if there is enough disk space.

After making changes restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

If you use memcached and enable $wgSessionsInMemcached, make sure that memcached is really working.

Any tips, why FF ist working, all other browsers don`t?

greets, Nik

Not sure if image uploads worked before, but just tried with vB 4.1.7 & MediaWiki 1.17.0 and no problem.

I have 4.1.7 running and upgraded to mediawikiforum, now I am having the same problem as this. It says users are not logged in. Tried your suggestions but to no avail. Any other suggestions, from anyone? The site seems to function properly otherwise, except I can't edit anything unless I turn the mod off and edit the Mediawiki without this mod.

I?ve got a problem with usernames.
German names often contain umlaute (?, ?, ?).
They can not log in and receives the following message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getID() on a non-object in /homepages/37/d25485545/htdocs/forum/wiki/includes/vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin.php on line 136

The forum does not run on UTF8.
Because of the hugh number of users and threads it is not convenient to modify the forum into UTF8.
Do you have a solution?

Vbulletin 4.0.7
Wiki 1.16
Mod Vers.1.06 RC

Thanks in advance
Dirk

Is there a solution to this yet? Many thanks in advance, I appreciate it.
