I am logged in. Also under user rights it shows Bureaucrats and bureaucrats also.

I can edit the pages that come pre installed. But edit is about the only thing I have.

Before I installed vbMediaWiki Vector I had all of the tabs.

When clicking on "View all wiki articles by Crazyace" in my profile, I get "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

Just one small suggestion for the manual - it doesn't say you have to install MediaWiki first (obvious I know but someone will ask)

/Installed /Nominated

I have two queries when you have time (low-priority):

1. How can I stop users changing skin? (I think I need to use $wgSkipSkins but I'm not certain)
2. Can you add a "Wiki Visible" permission in a future version so it is possible to hide the navbar link and Wiki entirely from some users but not others? I've got a custom vB style and I'd like to be able to work on intergrating and populating the wiki without everyone seeing the work-in-progress.

About the manual, ok, you are not the first one telling me that.. .will change it

1. There are two ways:
   1. delete the vector.php from your wiki/skin folder
   2. or add this line to the very end of your LocalSettings.php (after the vbMediaWiki lines!)
   $wgSkipSkins[] = "vector";
   
2. yes, good idea... I'll add it as soon as possible

Great mod, easy to install easy to use. The "hide from navbar" option would be nice

[TheSupportForum]

i need some help, it installed all fine, i have 4.0.5 installed but does not show like your screenshot

please visit ereptalk.co.uk to check this out
would like a fix for this

[bepe]

ok, I've added a "Wiki Visible" permission to the groupsettings
Turning it off will:
- hide the navbar link
- hide all wiki stats from the user pages
- hide the what’s new wiki entry
- don’t show any wiki search results in the forum (but still the wiki content type will be shown in the advanced search... it is too deep implemented to remove it)

usergroups that have it enabled will still have everything

[Joelimo]

Same Problem like crazyace.
I cant´t create new Pages.

[bepe]

I'm working with him on the problem right now
... not sure what the problem is yet

[Joelimo]

Where can i edit der permissions for "autoconfirmed user" ?
