I think you mean to add a link to the Users wiki page... I think that is not a bad idea.

- But if the user did never visit the Wiki it would show 'User account "Test" is not registered.' even if the user is registered in the forum.

- If the user did visit the wiki but did not create a page he will see 'There is currently no text in this page. '

- If the user created the page, then it would be perfect.

Just the first case is not nice... but the other two would be ok

I have to think about it... it's not easy to check if the user exists in the wiki, because the name will be changed, like the first char to uppercase

Perhaps we can ignore the first case... not sure yet

Is 1.16 final compatible do you know or should we wait for your next update? (I'm happy to beta test if that would be of help to you).

It should be compatible... MediaWiki is not like vBulletin... they don't do big changes that would leave all the plugins without function.

About testing, I need to upgrade it anyway... so I'll do the testing too, but thank you

bepe i mean like this

http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/1354014 ( its my account )
http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Malene ( My wiki page at game (non-existing page at first but i'm wiki editor now and i created myself))

i mean a system like this - i'll became ur beta tester soon... :P
----------
or maybe ppl can edit about me part and this page created by itself ?

[bepe]

The MediaWiki has a page for every user.
If you click at your name here:
"Bepe - My talk - My prefe..."

Then you will go to this link:
http://www.domain.com/wiki/index.php/User:Bepe

There only the user himself can edit the page.

Now you want to add that link to the forums "About Me", right?

[bepe]

ok, looks like all works just fine with the final MW 1.16

[Gnoll]

It works awsome with MW 1.16

and yes bepe as you said - the page about user and only Team + Him/herself change.

Just released 1.01 BETA

IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!

Upgrade from an older vbMediaWiki Version
You need to uninstall the old vBMediaWiki product inside the Admin Control Panel
before installing a new version! The ?Allow Overwrite? option is not enough!

IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!

@Gnoll
I've added that link to the 'About Me' forum user page, try it

[Gnoll]

Wow ^^ with some template work and edits this became an awesome place

@bepe thanks its really fantastic

[fortforum]

Got it to work on my forum and it looks very good.

One thing that would lift this to pro-level is a possibility to set path to vbulletin install from the settings menu. I miss that.

I do hope you will continu to develop this beyond beta. This has huge potential.

Keep up the good work, mate.

Just curious, are the following possible?

- Able to use the forum on forum.domain.com and wiki on wiki.domain.com
- Able to hide/lock specific wiki pages for specific usergroups
