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.
  
  
  
• 'Who's Online' integration:
  Showing the actual title with link.
  Different pharses for Viewing, Editing, History of a MediaWiki page.
  
  
  
• 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.

Awesome, thanks for the great product

[bepe]

please remember that this is an alpha build and that there is much work to be done to get it all working really stable.

Reason that I released it this way is because I need ppl interested in testing it and ppl that will report any bugs and problems

Running a public server is always a Security Issue...
Just joking :P

... How does it work?
1. The user is doing a login via vBulletin, I did not temper with that whole login thing there... so it is as save as VB made it.
2. On access MW checks if a user is logged into VB
If yes, then it also logs in the user with the same name to MW... it creates a new MW user if the user does not exist yet (most likely that is, because it's the first login)
Important: WM does NOT change the VB user... it's only checking if someone is online in VB and the rights he has to access the wiki, then it is only using its own users
3. I did my best to make it secure ... I want to run it on my forum too when it is done

Anyway, I really don’t think it's causing any Security Issue... but if it would, then it's more likely that WM is compromised... but not VB... I hope that makes u feel better now

the forum style should be inherited; for more complex styles changing the whole page layout... something like header is now footer or so... you would need to change the MEDIAWIKI template

The content of MW is looking like the original media wiki... I think that is good, ppl should see that we are using the original one ... anyway, you can change the wiki skin by hand or by editing the css

... but it's almost impossible to make the content of the MW look 100% like the content of VB... Sorry if u meant that ... anyway, both skins are playing nice together

About impossible... make it fit to all possible skins is impossible... sure it is possible if you adapt the one skin u are using to the media wiki... ok... basically everything is possible, it's just a matter of time
