[SchmitzIT] XenForo MediaWiki Bridge 2.0

No permission to download
Overview Reviews (5) History Discussion
Hi.

It's seamless, so there's nothing to really show. It basically just means that if you sign in to the forum, you won't have to sign in again when you go to the wiki.

On our site, it does work with 1.20. We had to disable some custom code to get that working (as that somehow interfered with the bridge), but we haven't had any complaints since.

Hi,
it doesn't work with MW 1.20.0 an XF 1.2.4 with the actual download. Is there a fix/tipp to get this running on these versions ?
There is only a not available site / commented out for the moment...
 
@SchmitzIT
After installing the add-on and going through all the optional steps etc. I get an error when attempting to load the main page of my wiki:

Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
  • Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

What happens if you disable the add-on and comment the line in LocalSettings?

The wiki will show up the way it normally does without the bridge.

Do you get any more info from the eror if you switch on debug mode in XF, and error_reporting in MediaWiki?

To turn on mediawiki error reporting, add the following at the bottom of the LocalSettings:

Code: 
error_reporting( -1 );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

Have you tried putting $wgDisableOutputCompression = true; in LocalSettings.php like this post recommended? That ended up working for me when I had XenForo 1.1. Now I'm running XenForo 1.2.4, MediaWiki 1.19.9, and PHP 5.2.17, and the bridge still works fine.

Also make sure zlib.output_compression is enabled in your PHP settings like in this post.

Did you try editing MediaWiki/Dependencies/Public.php according to this post?
 
Hi.

My MediaWiki is currently set to where no one but bureaucrats can create accounts (it's a small community). Would this bridge still work properly? If so, is there a way to disable registration on MediaWiki and only have it on XenForo?
 
The bridge will replace Mediawiki registration with XenForo registration. So anyone who can create an account in XenForo will then also be allowed in the wiki.

Yes i used the infos in the posts. Now the wiki is visible, but the Bridge doesn't work...

I can't seem to get this working...

I'm using Xenforo 1.2 and Wikimedia 1.22.

I'm able to see the wiki but it doesn't bridge my members.

The only thing I can think of is that I'm setting the MEDIAWIKI_PATH_TO_XENFORO wrong.

So if I ssh into my server my xenforo installment can be found at /home/neochi/www and my wikimedia is at /home/neochi/www/wiki_media.

I've tried setting MEDIAWIKI_PATH_TO_XENFORO to:

../ (relative path)
/home/neochi/www (absolute path)

Both with no success.

Weird thing is, it seemed to work for a minute when I set it to "./". I was able to edit the wiki with a xenforo's member account, but then like 2 minutes later I tried again and it stopped working...

Please help.

I've noticed when I have MEDIAWIKI_PATH_TO_XENFORO set to:

the Login link in mediawiki disappears though, so I'm assuming this means it's actually correct? Problem is it's still not bridged. If I login as a member and then go to the wiki, I'm not allowed to edit it.
 
Here's my LocalSettings.php

I have tried other accounts. They don't work.

My site is accessible, aswell as the wiki. But the bridge doesn't work.

Btw, is the "login" link suppose to disappear from the wiki?

Yes, the login link should disappear. Can I have your site address?
 
Made the changes in Public.php earlier in this thread, but now I'm getting this error with XF 1.3
