Damn! I deleted this Shoutbox some weeks ago - what can i do? Delete this manually?

i suggest you install it again, then uninstall it in the right order. hopefully the prob goes away.

This mod works fine for me with VB 4.2.0 PL3 when logged in as Administrator, but when I login to a normal user account, I get this when I try to open the wiki

Fatal error: Call to a member function getID() on a non-object in /home/xxxxxx/xxxxx/wiki/includes/vbMediaWikiAuthPlugin.php on line 100

Odd behavior.
The function should not differentiate between type of accounts anyway. $user is got from vb, so for some reason vb is not setting the variable right. What version of PHP are you using ? VB 4.2 is not compatible with php 5.4 . also this works with mediawiki 1.20 or higher.


1. check the version of php/mediawiki.
2. Delete all cookies/history an server cache (APC if any).
3. run diagnostics in vbmediawiki and see if you get clean bill of health.
4. Try a clean login into the other user account. while this should NOT cause this error, check if the other user has permissions in usergroup permissions.


let us know how it goes.

Here is an updated version to SpankMe's version (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=392) with some fixes and one that is working with VB 4.2 PL3 and Mediawiki 1.20.2 .

You can access the manual and diagnostics at www.YourSite.com/YourWiki/vbmediawiki/

** To avoid the edit permissions issue, navigate to your wiki/maintenance/ directory
and run :

 php resetUserTokens.php

Alternatively, upload the attached resetUserTokensNull.php to the wiki-maintenance directory (it only sets the tokens for users who do not have one - much faster). And set it up as a cron job every hour... This is (still) the best solution I've found so far.


Installation 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".

Release Notes:
Version 1.1 (21 Jan 13):
* The diagnostics page is fixed.
* The navigation bit (login and logout links) in the Vector skin is fixed. <-- If you use the vector skin with memcached, this improved my cache efficiency meaningfully (suspect because how the login/logout link was created for not-logged in users).

Version 1.2 (2 Feb 13):
* Upgrade instructions: upload files, upgrade product using XML file.
* Support for short URLs. You MUST update the wiki path if you install this version. The previous version works fine, except that the sitemap (and other links to the wiki) create by vbulletin refers to the old style links.
Now, Instead of specifying the wiki path as www.SITE.com/YourWiki (no trailing slash), you now should enter it as www.SITE.com/YourWiki/index.php?title= OR www.SITE.com/ShortURL/ (with trailing slash).
* For more on mediawiki short URLs, see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache or http://shorturls.redwerks.org/ .

Version 1.32 (13 Feb 13): (also changes from 1.30, 1.31):
* Upgrade instructions: upload files, upgrade product using XML file.
* Wiki submenus show in integrated skins.
* Loss of session data errors should be fixed.
* Reduced queries for logged-in users.
* Fixed issue with diagnostics page (likely linked with a apc bug).

What happens when vB users who have usernames with spaces in them try to edit on mediawiki, which from what I can tell from the information posted does not recognize spaces?
