While vbWiki Pro will work with MediaWiki 1.6.x, there some small differences and limitations:
- Enhanced user names (those with special characters) will be enabled and work just as they do in MW 1.7+, but the personal links showing the user name at the top of each wiki page will show the user name used internally by vbWiki Pro and MediaWiki for these cases. For instance, if a user's name is [AT]World, in MW 1.7+ it will be shown as '[AT]World', but in MW 1.6.x it will be shown as 'ATWorld-45' (where the last number is the user's id in the forums user manager).
- Adding the 'Register' and 'User CP' to the 'personal links' (at the top of each wiki page) or removing the 'Log Out' from the 'personal links', which is controlled through vbWiki Pro's Admin CP will not work. If you would like to hide the 'Log Out' link in MW 1.6.x, this can be done through CSS, by adding the following to your skins/vbwikiskin/main.css:
-
#pt-logout { display: none; }
Alternatively, you can work around these limitations in MW 1.6.x by modifying the file includes/SkinTemplate.php found in your MW 1.6.x installation, find the following code (found at line 533 in MW 1.6.8, and at line 527 in MW 1.6.9):
wfProfileOut( $fname );
return $personal_urls;
And insert before:
wfRunHooks( 'PersonalUrls', array( &$personal_urls, &$wgTitle ) );
