Mediawiki & Ipb

[OJB]

I dont know whether this should be in here but here goes anyway

 

I am a user of both MediaWiki (wikipedia software) and IPB and have bridged them using IPBWIKI (http://ipbwiki.com)

 

Just for those who have wanted something similar:

 

Members are central to both, so when someone registers at either end they are registered for both the wiki and IPB

Logins/Logouts work so when you log in to one you are logged into both

You can set wiki permissions based on your forum member groups

You can have it so discussions in the wiki create threads in your forum

There are even skins to make your wiki look like your forum

+ loads more

 

 

Now the only issue is that you have to pay, although there is a limited free version

. The yearly license costs 25€ and gives you access to 1 year of support and updates, after 1 year you can renew your yearly license for 10€.

. The lifetime license costs 60€ and grants you unlimited access to support and updates.

 

 

Just so it is known I have no connection to this product other than I am a user.

Apologies if I am not allowed to link to it as it may be deemed advertising for commercial gain, but as I said I am in no way affiliated with this product.

 

I just thought other people may be interested in it as it has drastically improved my site!
