[4.0.x]

description:
vbmediawiki integration plug-in provides full mediawiki integration, including user system and search system.

This is an easy solution to integrating mediawiki with your vbulletin forum software. If activated, vbulletin will take over full management of users and login. A single registration works for the wiki as well as for the forums. It means that users are registered on the both systems at the same time, and when they log-in, they're logged to both systems at the same time.

how does the integration look like:
search integration:
the mediawiki content is implemented as a new content type into the vbulletin search
system. Search results are shown together with the results from the forum, blog, cms
search. Indexing is all done exactly the same way as the original vbulletin content types.



advanced search:
search the indexed mediawiki pages with advanced search
options like title only, by user, by date and sort the results.



'what's new' integration:
showing a list of the last wiki pages that where created or edited. The list is
created directly from the wiki database and does not rely on the vbulletin index.



permissions settings:
are done per usergroup: Admin control panel -> usergroups -> usergroup manager -> edit
interesting might be the "minimum of required posts" for editing wiki pages;
it will reduce write access to active forum members.



user stats:
additional stats about how many pages a user edited or created.
Forum -> member list -> {?user} -> about me



integrated skin:
the vbmediawiki skin that is completely integrated into the forum
wiki tab on the navbar
personal wiki links under the navbar
navbits showing the location
content inside the page



original skins are still working, just some links are different and there is a new "forum" link at the top so the user can go back
after the user logged in he can decide himself if he wants to use the integrated skin or another one

login:
single sign on over the forum.

• perfect solution:
  on a fresh forum installation the first thing you should do is to set the forum to utf-8:
  admin control panel -> languages & phrases -> language manager -> [edit settings]
  there set "html character set" to: Utf-8
  important: that is not possible anymore if there are posts already, because they would be messed up.
• other solution:
  many of you will not be able to change the forum charset, so this product is checking the charset and will convert the mediawiki content. You should make sure that you remove all not latin languages from the mediawiki.

it might be necessary to turn off magic quotes either in php.ini or in .htaccess.
Else you might get this error when editing pages:

error: Your edit has been rejected because your client mangled the punctuation characters in the edit token. The edit has been rejected to prevent corruption of the page text. This sometimes happens when you are using a buggy web-based anonymous proxy service.

next is that vbulletin user names are different to the one mediawiki is using. Mediawiki always makes the first char uppercase, so it is inconsistent to vbulletin.

• solution: to make it perfect, you need to edit "...\wiki\includes\user.php", open it in any editor and replace "$wgcontlang->ucfirst( $name )" by just "$name" ... There are two places inside user.php where you need to do that

next difference is the user name charset that is restriction by mediawiki. Problem there is that every user name also is a title for a wiki page where the user can write something about himself. Bad charters in the user name might break that page.

• solution: we need to restrict the vbulleting charset and also we need to change all existing usernames.
  admin control panel -> settings -> options -> user registration options
  there set "username regular expression" to something like: ^[a-za-z0-9]+$
  this would allow alphanumeric characters only.

the forum and the mediawiki must be on the same server and both must have the same domain, something like:
http://www.name.com/ - for the forum
http://www.name.com/wiki/ - for the wiki

also i only support the latest versions.
As of right now that are:
vbulletin: 4.0.2
mediawiki: 1.15.1

installation:
1: upload the contents of the "wiki_upload" directory into your wiki root directory.
2: upload the contents of the "forum_upload" directory into your wiki root directory.
3: add this two lines to your 'wiki/localsettings.php':

PHP Code:

define( vb_install_path, '../forum' );
require_once( "$ip/includes/authplugin_vbmediawiki.php" ); 


vb_install_path needs to be adjusted to the relative path from the wiki to your forum.
4: install the new product-vbmediawiki.xml
5: go to your vbulletin options and look for "vbulletin mediawiki: Options"
setup the path to the wiki there and the informatin for the wiki db

upgrade:
uninstall the old product
copy the new files to the server
install the new product-vbmediawiki.xml

actual issues:
integration skin might need to be checked using opera browser (to be done)

4.0.2rc3:
fixed printable version of wiki pages

wiki page redirects are not shown as search results anymore
sub pages should be working now

Давно увидел эту красоту,даже скачал,но вот переводить лень стало...А так штука хорошая и удобная)

Много переводить? я просто не пробывал его на себе.
Если много то я со своим малым опытом перевода браться не буду

SeM13,ну не мало по-поему,сейчас точно не помню...

Прикрутил... но тема оформления не отображается (вообще никакая).. все в одном блоке подряд без оформлений...
Как побороть не знаю (

Потратил кучу времени.
Всё поставил по инструкции, ошибок не было.
В тему форума wiki не интегрировалась.
Пробовал создавать пользователей они тоже не синхронизируются но куски от wiki в модуле поиска и профилях появились.
Как настроить не пойму.
Да и перевод не помешал бы, а то кусков с английским текстом появляется много.

YaSurok,

Подождать можно. (Примерно сколько не подскажете, может есть информация)
Но вот интересует вопрос возможно ли потом будет прикрутить уже к рабочему форуму, наполненую wiki?

YaSurok,информация о финальной версии,может быть только у автора...

Но вот интересует вопрос возможно ли потом будет прикрутить уже к рабочему форуму, наполненую wiki?

Все возможно,если постараться)

мда, попробовал поставить на Vbulletin 4.0.3 + MediaWiki 1.15.3
В навбаре вместо названия ссылки на вики вижу:

{$vboptions['mediawiki_name']}

и ссылка аналогично неверная, не подставлено значение из опции.
При попытке открыть вики вижу вообще пустую страницу.
Будем ждать обновления.
