• BUT: No password and no email is being stored!! This means: After disabling the bridge you will have to add email addresses manually, so users can press "Send Password"

Btw: Really don't know when bepe will have time again to continue his work... I don't have the know-how yet and perhaps will not continue to use MediaWiki...

Appreciate the reply. Only thing required after this in that case would be to create a query to add the email addresses from the forum DB to the wiki DB.

Mind if I ask what you plan to use if not MediaWiki ? I'm wondering whether to use this or just install MediaWiki on its own and then use a bridge (only downfall being that integration for searching etc is lost).

Seems not to work any more with 4.0.3 ... at least with the german version. Anyone got it working?

I'm having some problems with this mod. I've followed the instructions, this is on a new vbulletin installation so I changed the charset to utf8.

The wiki website comes up when I click on the navbar, but when a user has write permissions to the wiki, the system logs them out and they're unable to post. When I try to login, they're able to login but it just refreshes and they're not logged in.

Any ideas?

Nevermind I got it working, I misread the instructions when removing the ucfirst portion.

I have installed but for some reason where I should have the wiki tab instead of displaying WIKI it shows {$vboptions['mediawiki_path']} and makes that the path so no connection to the wiki at all. I can get to the wiki on www.mysite.com/wiki and have set ./wiki as path and Wiki as name but its not showing.

Any ideas?

Perhaps a problem with another installed add/plugin. Disable all others and check for correct installation of vbMediaWiki again.

It all seems to work fine except for the tab. I'm using 4.0.3 so maybe thats the problem. This is the only added module other than those that come standard with vbulletin.

O.K. I was able to upgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3 on XAMPP, everything fine - including the tab! Now continuing to search for the bug on the server...

Update: He he, uninstalled and reinstalled on Server: Now exactly your Tab-Issue

[BRotondi]

O.K. solved this, but really don't know, what's causing it, since the template mediawiki_navbar_link ist the same on my working XAMPP and my buggy server-installation. Perhaps if you install vbMediaWiki on 4.0.2 and then update to .3 something will be updated, which interprets above template in another way...

Solution: replace those vars with the new {}-descriptors: Change mediawiki_navbar_link to

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'vbmediawiki'">
<li class="selected">
    <a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.mediawiki_path}">{vb:raw vboptions.mediawiki_name}</a>
    <ul class="floatcontainer">
{wiki:raw personal_urls}
    </ul>
</li>
<vb:else />
<li>
    <a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.mediawiki_path}">{vb:raw vboptions.mediawiki_name}</a>
</li>
</vb:if>

For those who want to install vbMediaWiki on a 4.0.3, you can directly use the new xml which has above changes included (Attachement).
