MediaWiki/vBulletin Single Sign-On
Version: 2.2.0, by NoeJeko NoeJeko is offline
Developer Last Online: Apr 2011 Show Printable Version Email this Page

No support by the author.

Overview:
This hack provides single sign-on capability for MediaWiki using your vBulletin users. You must ensure your cookie path in Admin CP is set to '/' for this to work. Also, I have not tested this if your wiki and your forums are on different subdomains - but as long as your have your cookie domain set properly it *should* work. This is not a user bridge - it is a complete single sign-on using your vBulletin user repository.

The install process has been extremely simplified in version 2.x of this product. You only have to edit LocalSettings.php, import a product, and change a setting in your Admin Control Panel. It's been completely packaged as a vBulletin product - unlike the previous hacked up version, heh. I didn't originally plan to release this so I designed it so it worked - not so it could be redistributed. I searched high and low for a functional MediaWiki bridge - almost bought NuHIT's product, and then realized it had been abandoned for over a year.

This hack no longer requires an edit to class_core.php.

I'll do my best to support it, but I can make no promises.

This thread is for discussion of this mod on vB 3.7.x. For vB 3.8.x, please use the MediaWiki/vBulletin Single Sign-On 3.8 thread

Demo of plugin in action: MyMMOGames - Multiplayer Gaming and Media Community

Also, if you use memcached - ensure you do not cache sessions. If you do, restart it at least once a week. If you don't, you'll end up with invalid session errors out of MediaWiki.

Requirements:
MediaWiki Version: 1.11.0-1.14.0
vBulletin Version: 3.6.9-3.8.2

Features:
- Provides single sign on capability between vBulletin and Mediawiki. vBulletin user repository is used
- Configurable sysop/bureaucrat groups
- Configurable disallowed user groups
- Configurable "Who's Online" display
- Counts users viewing wiki in vBulletin's "Who's Online"

Installation/Upgrade:
Please read the included "readme.txt" file in the "docs (do not upload)" folder.

Options:
Admin Control Panel->vBulletin Options->MMOG Wiki Options

Change Log:
1.0.0.0 - Sep 18, 2008

I actually didn't even think about this. In 2.0.1, I'll add a switch allowing you to specify if you use Wiki's short URL options. Thanks for the feedback!
Sweet, as a former coder I know you always can't think of everything. We, as users, find interesting ways to break things :-).

Anyways the only other really missing feature would be who's online status.

I get things like:

Unknown Location
/action/edit/Classes/Dwarf_Fighter

Etc ....

I also noticed some Hardcoded values for your MyMMOGames Wiki and Blog in place.

If I get a chance this weekend I'll see if I can come up with a nice clean solution. Regardless this plugin is heading in the right direction.

Version 2.1.0 has been released. The following changes were made:

- Feature: ACP option to use MediaWiki Short URLs
- Feature: ACP option to set sysop groups
- Feature: ACP option to set bureaucrat groups
- Feature: ACP option to disallow login to certain groups
- Feature: ACP option to change WOL display text

Please read the upgrade instructions in readme.txt. If you're upgrading from version 2.0.x, the upgrade is very quick but you must ensure you check the new ACP settings or you may give someone unauthorized access to your wiki. I recommend turning off vBulletin before the upgrade.

I didn't see this in time to address it in this version. You have an interesting wiki setup and I'll do my best to see if I can code support for that.

Yea so please don't try and accommodate me. I've found my own solution just adding on to your code. I'll update it to work with 2.1 and post my results (If however you want to know how I did my install let me know as I'm more then happy to share ... nothing more then htaccess and simple localsetting settings).

I'm going a step beyond just using /wiki and have /action for all action events (Instead of index.php&action=)

While I would classify it as interesting (I doubt many use it) it is a documented approach.

Thanks again for providing a *working* plugin with fast updates!

(Also thanks for not coming off as arogant like the ElfMage person who programed the last mediawiki plugin .... I really appreciate your hard work)

Thanks! Positive feedback give me motivation to continue development on this product. If no one had used it then it most likely would have never evolved, heh - it worked for my purpose.

This discussion somewhat started earlier in the thread. For my site, I modified the wiki templates directly. Sorry, but between work, running a game community, and trying to keep somewhat of a life, I really don't have time to go as in-depth as elfmage tried to go. Maybe one day, but there are no plans for this functionality in the foreseeable future.

the system seems to work as far as sending me to me VB for logging in but when I get back to the wiki it seems to not have me logged in, I have tried multiple times to login. not sure why its not working. any ideas/hints welcome.

Linux, vb 3.7.3, MW 1.13

(not on my main forums, rather on a new forum im working on)

Are your forums and wiki on different subdomains? If so, do you have your cookie settings properly configured? If not, press <Ctrl+F5> after you log in and are back on the wiki to see if it's a cache issue.

You need to use the MediaWiki configuration script to generate LocalSettings.php.
