When I call the wiki from an Android phone I get a blank page. Works on normal PC's and Apple iOS.

Is there a fix for this?

All the links form the orginal post are not working... Does anyone have any links for installing the entire mod including how to install media wiki to work with this?

Go to your wiki installation and go to

/wiki/vbmediawiki/index.php

Thank you. I must of missed that reading the posts last night.

I've gotten most of the errors out of this for my installation. Now I'm stuck on this one. I can't seem to find a solution for it. I followed this post for installation.

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_write() on a non-object in /home/cccc/theworld-r2.net/global.php(29) : eval()'d code on line 52

That error is from step 3 of 7 in the Diagnostics tab of vbMediaWiki.

Line 52 of my global.php is nothing. It doesn't even exist. It stops at line 51.

Forum display and integrated display do not work either. Only the Vector display setting works. Any one else have this issue?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fixed the Fatal call by defining VB_INSTALL_PATH in diagnostics. If i took out the require_once for LocalSettings it stopped pushing out errors.

Next things I ran into was step 5. It wasn't pulling the data out of the forum for the mysql server. I actually had to go in and enter mysql information. It worked then. This is a big concern for me. I'm not sure why the

PHP Code:

$data = unserialize($vbulletin->options["mediawiki_db"]); 


is not working correctly. But $data was always empty for me. So I went into phpmyadmin to make sure the settings where saved. They are saved correctly for me. So IDK whats up with that. I changed everything back to normal though in all the files I changed.

Still can't get any other dispaly working than Vector though.

Did you try it with php 5.5.x or was it php 5.3.x?
EDIT: and was it UTF8 or latin?

[daviet]

I was on PHP 5.3 then moved recently to 5.4 without issues.

I recall reading about needing to convert to UTF-8 but I didn't go through that step, my vbulletin setting for HTML Character Set is set to "ISO-8859-1"

Are you running into any specific issues? There have been a few small hacks along the way but for the most part I'm using v. 1.32 posted by ndahiya:

Guys, I'm planning on installing this mod, but since all the links on the initial thread are gone, any of you guys have like a mirror or installation steps?

And also, is this mod still working/good? I just installed a new mediawiki and would love to see such integration.
