PHP Strings/Variable Help!

[snorlie1689]

I'm trying to integrate my wiki+vb together, and having issues with changing the strings to match my database info.

 

How would I change the following codes below, if my Server is: Localhost, DBuser: etc123, DBuserpass: 123, DBname: db123

 

$wgAuth = new AuthPlugin_vBulletin($wgDBserver, $wgDBuser, $wgDBpassword, $wgDBname, "vb_");

 

I assume it's like this? $wgAuth = new AuthPlugin_vBulletin($localhost, $vb_etc123, $123, $wgDBname, "vb_db123");?

 

Thanks in advance!

you probably want the literal strings, rather than variables

$wgAuth = new AuthPlugin_vBulletin('localhost', 'vb_etc123', '123', $wgDBname, "vb_db123");

 

but I don't know what variables you have in your script, nor what values said variables may contain

I'm trying to do this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VBulletin/Users_Integration

 

Wiki and VB on the same host/machine, but not the same database.

 

I was wondering how would you change the strings to reflect the vb database, if the Server is: localhost, DBuser: db_etc123, DBuserpass: 123, DBname: db_db123

 

Which I assume this is how you do it: $wgAuth = new AuthPlugin_vBulletin("localhost", "db_etc123", "123", "db_db123", "vb_");

yeah your second example looks about right. Why don't you try it?

[snorlie1689]

I've tried it. Nothing works. Been trying to figure out for days, but it doesn't seem to work at all. =/

 

Here's the site I'm testing this on: http://understructure.net/awiki3/

 

The log-in will stop working once you log out, always with incorrect password. There is no signs of integration with vb either.

[mikesta707]

based on the documentation, and your info,

$wgAuth = new AuthPlugin_vBulletin("localhost", "db_etc123", "123", "db_db123", "vb_");

SHOULD work. But the last parameter is what is confusing things I think. That is the prefix. Are you sure vb_ is the prefix? The prefix is basically the string before any of your tables that are connected to the wiki. You should have been able to set that up when you installed mediawiki. If you have phpmyadmin (or another tool like that) look at your wiki tables, and see if they have a common prefix. Whatever that is should be what you pass as the last parameter

[snorlie1689]

The integration worked when I left the "prefix" blank ("").

 

I do have myphpadmin. Is there any way to figure out the table prefix for the database? I originally imported the vb database through Putty, so there isn't any table prefix I can find.

 

$wgAuth = new AuthPlugin_vBulletin("localhost", "understr_awiki", "vandeath", "understr_awikitest", "");

[mikesta707]

If there is no prefix, then leaving the prefix parameter blank is correct
