vbWiki Standard - vBulletin+MediaWiki integration
Developer Last Online: Aug 2010
Update:
9/28/2007: vbWiki Std v1.3 RC5 is now available for download. This version adds compatibility with MW 1.11.0+ 5/17/2007: vbWiki Std v1.3 RC4 is now available for download. This version is compatible with MW 1.10.0+ and vBulletin 3.6.6+ 1/21/2007: vbWiki Std v1.0.2 RC3 is now available for download. This version fixes the 'session error' that used to happen on some installations of MediaWiki 1.9.x. Description: vbWiki Standard is the lite version of vbWiki Pro. vbWiki Standard allows the integration of vBulletin and MediaWiki user authentication. (vbWiki Pro is a commercial product that, in addition to the functionality found in vbWiki Standard, provides full skin integration, enhanced user management, Admin CP, editing of wiki skin in vBulletin's Style Manager, among other features.) Why should you add a wiki to your forums? Forums are great for community building with their high level of interactivity. Successful forums have hundreds or thousand of concurrent users creating and replying to threads. However due to this very reason the more your forums grow the more "collective knowledge" is scattered throughout the thousands (or hundreds or millions) of threads in your forums. Making it difficult for users to find and use. A wiki is not that good at community building, but it is a great medium to centralize this 'collective knowledge'. Enabling you to create an 'ecosystem of information' (quoting pipin ) maintained and contributed by your users. The idea behind vbWiki (both Standard and Pro) is to enable the seamless integration between these two packages (vBulletin and MediaWiki) side-by-side in your community. You (and your users and community) get the best of both worlds. Or so the theory goes... Features:
These installation instructions do not apply to vbWiki Pro. Refer to vbWiki Pro installation instructions for more information. MediaWiki and vBulletin must be installed and properly working before installing vbWiki. MediaWiki can be downloaded here.

the built-in discussion feature is quite useless compared to vB itself. hmmmm you would almost start hoping for an integration which automatically links the discussion tab to a vB discussion thread, and if it doesn't exist for that wiki page, create a new one in the assigned (wiki discussion) forum. anyways, this sort of stuff is SO much more useful to our board than these social networking or gallery mods.. its super!! |

If you are trying to change the colors for monobook, then the section of main.css you need to change is for '#content'. |

In the Style Manager, edit the headinclude template; and at the end, add the following: HTML Code:
<style> #p-cactions li#ca-talk { display: none; } </style> |

OK just another question.
on the "who's online page", the users browsing the Wiki are shown. however, the locations are messed up a little. The location is displayed as: Quote:
i guess the regular users only see the 'unknown location' bit. Is there some setting in vB that I can use to change this 'error-like' location?? |

Hi, this is a 'bug' of vbWiki Standard.
Who's online integration is implemented in the Pro version. The standard (lite) version doesn't have the functionality required to fully extract the wiki article titles and build the URLs to the corresponding pages on the wiki side. To keep vbWiki Standard from showing visitors to your wiki on the Who's Online page, open arcane_vbulletin_core.php, and find this line of code: PHP Code:
