MediWiki Integration

I had no problems logging in as a WikiSysop using the code listed in post #10. Note tho, that it now uses your vB Admin log in... NOT whatever you might have originally used as your WikiSysop log in prior to integrating the DBs.

I see. Let me double check.

Thank you!

Okay, un-commented out the lines added and when I login as my vB admin account, I cannot see protect, etc...

Try one more time -- first as your WikiSysOp, then as your vBAdmin. Either working?

During my initial install, I defined a WikiSysop username which I've now realized is identical to one of my vBulletin usernames. The passwords are not the same but it gets rejected either way. How should I best address that problem?

Edit: Got around part of the problem by taking out the vB lines from LocalSettings.php temporarily, logging in as another user, logging out and logging in as the WikiSysop user, granting full access to second user, logging out, restoring the vB lines to LocalSettings.php. I was able to log in as the other user and am good to go on administration.

However I still can't login as the original user specified as a WikiSysop. I assume this has to do with the fact that the WikiSysop name got added to my MediaWiki database during the initial install, and now the Wiki sees the name in two places, or something. I'm wondering if locating and removing it will address the problem - anyone know where that might get stored, or have altnernative ideas? (Both users are in the Wiki Contributors usergroup).

3.5.2 vB / 1.5.7 MediaWiki. It works GREAT. :banana:

I used Kai's suggested code in post #10:

require_once( 'AuthPlugin_vBulletin.php' );

$wgAuth = new AuthPlugin_vBulletin( 'someHostName' , 'someUserName', 'somePassWord', 'someDBName');

, but put it in "includes/User.php" and then uploaded "AuthPlugin_vBulletin.php" direct in my wiki "includes" folder

Thanks a lot!

I've noticed just a small problem with international characters .. It didn't work out with umlauts - "?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?" and maybe "?" ..

I got it working on my forum and I used the changes from post #48 to restrict the wiki to a special group.

HAs anyone used drak's code for linking the wiki discussion to use the vbb for discussions? It looks right.

How do I impliment the template change required. I can't find how to do that in the metawiki help.

I'm also very interested in the integrated thread function. Is it the case for others here that in order to authenticate against the wiki, a user's primary vBulletin usergroup must be the associated wiki editors user group?

Not for me.

They have to have the subgroup that I have programmed it to require(post 48 for code).


WHere is s good place to find information configuring the wiki. I have some questiosn and I have no clue where to look or post.

The MediaWiki Handbook is a great place to start. Also check out MediaWiki extensions.

It wouldnt let me install on VBs database so i had to create a new database to install it on. Is there another way to do this or maybe conect the two databases.
