Installing vbWiki

• Extract the content of the vbWiki package to a directory in your computer.
• Find vbWiki_Init.php-dist and rename it to vbWiki_Init.php.

• If you would like to change any of the default settings, find the setting you would like to customize in vbWiki_Settings.php, copy it to vbWiki_Init.php, and modify its value.
• Create a new directory named vbWiki in your forums directory directory (e.g. /absolute/path/to/your/forums/vbWiki)
• Upload all vbWiki files from your computer to this new directory.
• Open MediaWiki's config file: LocalSettings.php, and, at the end of the file, before the ?>, add the following line:

require_once "/absolute/path/to/your/forums/vbWiki/vbWiki_Init.php";

What to expect

• vbWiki successful installation can be verified by going to Special:Version in your wiki. vbWiki should be listed as an installed extension.
• When a new user tries to register he/she is directed to your forums registration page.
• When a user logs in through the forum, he/she will be automatically logged in when visiting a wiki page.
