I've been looking for an extension that can bridge joomla with mediawiki. Finally it's here. This extension works really great. All you have to do is pay good attention to the details in the installationguide. It is in english here:

http://www.haroldprins.nl/wiki/index.php?title=Installation_guide

1. Download
2. Follow the steps in the installation guide
3 Enjoy!

I think it was pretty easy to install this extension, and I am by no means any joomla-wiz.

Now, if only someone could make a descent mediawiki template that fits nicely within the default joomla template (milkyway), that would have been nice :) Then the wiki would really be integrated with joomla :)

This is another of my personal holy grail extensions that I've been looking for for some time. Works nicely with Joomla 1.5.14 and MediaWiki 1.15.1 .

Rarely do I compliment something that works without fault.

I downloaded the required files.

I followed the English Guide at:
http://www.haroldprins.nl/wiki/index.php?title=Installation_guide

Logged to Joomla and since I run my Media Wiki through a Wrapper, clicked on the Menu Item and hey presto, the username that I have not registered with the MediaWiki installation is in bright red at the top.

Seriously Excellent Work.

My biggest problem has been getting things like Joomla 3rd Party FAQ Extensions to work and Other Content out of the Joomla Sections/Categories as I do not wish to fill the Joomla Articles areas up with too much Content as I find it hard to browse and Control.

I had a MediaWiki Installation but have not really used it yet as I really wanted to use it from the Front End of Joomla. As it is in a wrapper I can now.

Thanks

This Harold Prins fellow is a genius, however, mere mortals like me find geniuses a tad hard to follow...

Case in point: this is an awesome plugin but took more than just "snap, snap" to configure... it is NOT as easy as "install and publish".

Read Harold's instructions first to get an idea:

If I had seen this before I started I would not have taken the plunge... it is tricky.

After all my labours, I see a deflating: "Warning: This file is not build for a subdomain. The plugin works, but the auto return after login and logout fails. I work on a modified version". I am not sure what this means, but it would have been nice to see it earlier.

I am a NOOB and wanted to post this before I forget... I will give more feedback after testing thoroughly.

Good work Mr. Dutchman... too bad we are not as smart as you.

Works perfectly, very easy to install and instructions are very easy to follow! Thank you very very much!

Just follow the instructions and it will work perfectly.
Thanks a lot. I was dreaming about it ;-)

This is the perfect extension to bridge Joomla with your Mediawiki installation. The support from Harold is second to none! He helped me through all my annoying questions and didn't stop until we got it right. Highly recommend this one! :)

I dont understand dutch so I was installing it blind, but the installation instructions could be just:

1. Install zip file using standard Joomla install.
2. Publish the plugin.

It worked first time! If only I had had this plugin 3 weeks ago!
