Integrate or bridge with MediaWiki
by
14 Apr 2006
Do you want to use vBulletin's user database with your MediaWiki? You might like this. I have taken Kai Backman's MediaWiki authentication plugin idea, fixed coding errors, and expanded greatly on it. Working on: vBulletin 3.5.4 and MediaWiki 1.6.3 Features:
Possible Future Features: These are possible features for inclusion in the how-to in the future. They have not been investigated for their feasibility, but are here to let you know they have been requested and I am thinking about them. If you know how to add the features, please let us know.
How to:
Please let me know if this was helpful, or if you can expand on this code. No members have liked this post.

Thanx HolisticEarth,
maybe you should add $wgCapitalLinks = false; too, so the usernames will be exactly the same and not changed at the first letter. No members have liked this post.

Ive been using the original method for a while, ill take a look at the code and see if I can merge it in to mine(done so many edits since then, which ive not made notes on..)
Also if you like to use subdomains on yoru sites, ill find the code so you can have something like http://wiki.site.com/PAGETITLE (eg http://wiki.exceem.co.uk/Help:Contents) No members have liked this post.

I have heard now and again that some of those methods do not work perfectly, as in they will not display URLs that contain periods properly. Also, the script I came up should work great with the other script... the only difference is the extra function call in your LocalSettings.php file for your vB table prefix. If you simply add that information to the LocalSettings.php, then all you need to do is replace the original file with my file and you will be good to go, no worse than before, but have more functionality.

You might want to try changing

if you want anonymous users to be able to read the wiki.

I'll be happy if I can use my info to login but in the wiki page no login box appear, and if I click on "login" it remain on the same page.
However when I visit that page, I'm already logged in on my vbulletin. No members have liked this post.

A sure way to fix it would be to erase all the users but wikisysop and start with a fresh users db.

Hi, I'm not that great at PHP. For the changing of the values, do I replace everything after the $, or after the $wgDBserver, or something else?
Thanks! No members have liked this post.

Thanks for making this!
I'd use it if it weren't for the "no alphanumeric characters" restriction. It would be terrific id there was a way around it. No members have liked this post.

I like your website btw, I found a bit of information on it for a paper or two I have done at University.
