this is amazing stuff, just what I needed.
I have added this and it seems to work but have 2 questions

1) I have a rather large base of users in mediawiki, how can I add these to the vbull system
2) I do not get the WIKI link in the navbar at all

[lawiki]

I have fixed above issues, but still have some problems.

1) Mainly I can not edit the wiki, as any user.
I have made sure the :can login: option is selected for the right user-groups, and have edited my localsettings.php to make sure nothing is blocking this,

2) in the wiki VBMEDIAWIKI location, when I click on ADMIN TOOLS, I get :** Access denied! ***:

3) Same area I try to go to DIAGNOSTICS and I get

1 of 7: Checking MediaWiki Installation

Fatal error: Class 'SiteConfiguration' not found in /home/lawiki/public_html/includes/DefaultSettings.php on line 32

Can someone please have a look? Our wiki is rather large and the vbulletin integration is just what we needed to get some more community to it.

I have a problem with the MediaWiki pages showing up in VBulletin search results. First, the search doesn't always return the best results. More importantly though, the links to the MediaWiki pages are not the ShortURL (SEO friendly) ones that I've defined in that platform.

Basically the search result in VB is creating a lot of links that shouldnt be there. How can I fix the URL for MediaWiki pages showing up in VB search results?

uhh, mine works perfectly with this mod...

[Draffi]

What MW and VB do you use?

I have VB 4.2 and MW 1.16 (in xampp) and it is not working...

[jasharen]

I am getting the same access denied when I go to admin tools...

[jasharen]

Ok I was logged in as the wrong user

Logged in as administrator on vbulletin and had no problem getting to the admin tools page.

However I still get the following on the diagnostics:
RROR:
The MediaWiki is not cofigured/installed yet. Please run the MediaWiki install script and do the configuration.

The installation manual links dont seem to be working. Anyone know where i can find them?

I have tested on a clean install of the above versions as well as two of my sites that use this mod after updating them to the above versions and all seems to work ok.

The original mod didn't quite work for me but this one did.
Thanks
