Unfortunately, there is no such possibility. But you can write your own plugin, for this reason, we have an API.

I have already set my forum URL without trailing slash ... what would you recommend ?


And regarding the URL rewrite : Thank you for the note but the problem is that vbsso urls are dynamic (I mean log out and such) so there should be a some kind of plugin which force re-writing the url like what vbseo or dbseo are doing.

Thank you again
I would be so thankful if you help me with my problem.

Thank you

When accessing the Mediawiki page Spezial:Vbssoconfig, we get this warning:
Quote:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in .../wiki/extensions/vbsso/apivbsso.php on line 202
It seems like vbsso_get_vb_usergroups() returns null. Could this be a configuration problem?

To keep spammers out of our Mediawiki, I'm removing as many user rights as possible. I wonder whether vBSSO would still work, if I disable user registration in Mediawiki by this setting:
Code:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
Has anyone tried this?

Regards
TiKu

I installed vbsso as well as VB Credits Deluxe...Could you please let me know why what is it that VBSSO is doing that is preventing userdata_postsave hook from being executed correctly during new user registration. I am trying to allocate some points to the user during registration and it isnt working correctly because of the above. Help pls
