I really like this plugin and it integrates my wiki and Joomla portal page perfectly.

However, I found one little flaw; the plugin only seems to take in account the standard namespace. It doesn't find documents which are filed under custom namespaces.

I assume the reason for this is that it looks for the table prefix which is set in the options, but you can only set 1 table prefix AFAIK.

Still, this is a very useful tool and the integration looks nice.

With this and the autologin to the mediawiki, I am now really in good shape to help my community move seemlessly between Joomla and Mediawiki.

I was developing a site for a client who needed mediawiki and joomla search integration. This fit their needs perfectly.

*note: make sure you turn off debugging - found this out after emailing the author

I downloaded the original version of this software and had a few teething problems but with some help from Leonardo the Developer and an upgrade to V1.1 the software is working perfectly!

Great job Leonardo! Thank you
