Second little prob, if i logged me into vbull, then changed the wiki navi from vbull style to wiki style.

Thrird prob, where is the options?

If you have soltutions about that i am very happy ;-)
Here is the page: xxxxxx

I use the Vector theme as the default, so not sure of the problem.

The options are under Settings-->Options-->Vbulletin Mediawiki -->

anybody knows about seo friendly url code ? I have on a other page the htaccess and localsettings adjusted and it works fine, no index.php or other snippet. Maybe someone has an idea.

Try here: http://shorturls.redwerks.org/
Works fine for me. One issue I am trying to fix is that the mod still links to w/index.php?title=XYZ type urls instead of /home/XYZ. (works fine though, and after the first click, goes back to the short URLs.)

Super! It works perfectly.

So, one problem still exists with the highlight / selected navbar, if i push the button "wiki" it doesnt selected that, but the "forum" button is then highlight/seleceted with silver color.
How can i change that in css/php/template?

Hi.

I've been looking around for active installation instructions for VBMWv 1.2 but can't find any so far, and I've checked the download as well. The links above are not working for me and I am licensed and can download other stuff here. I bought vBulletin with the main intention being of integrating some kind of wiki. So finding this post made my month!

Can someone point me in the right direction of the installation instructions. Thanks very much.

As a side note I am wondering if Semantic Media Wiki can be added on to VBMWv.

Pretty simple instructions :
1. Upload the wiki_upload files to the wiki folder, and the forum_upload files to the forums folder.
2. Import the product in vbulletin.
3. Set the variables in Settings --> Options --> vBulletin Mediawiki.
4. Grant permissions to various usergroups.
5. Add tab to the wiki under Settings-->Navigation Manager. Set the "Tab scripts" field to "mediawiki".

That's it!!

Not sure Semantic wiki - you could try and let us know?

tomtom1984: In the navigation manager in vbulletin admincp,
select the wiki tab options, and under Tab Scripts enter "mediawiki" (without the ").

The next release should have working submenus.

I have installed Semantic MediaWiki to my working version and it works great. Here is an example page, see the Live History and Appears On section near the bottom.
