I had to go into IPB and find out what number was assigned to my skin, and then hack ipbwiki to use that number, as it always wanted to use number one, which was the admin skin in my case.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have installed IPB 3.4.2 and Media Wiki 1.19.3 (I chose this version of MW because my host is on PHP 5.2)
I followed the steps laid down by PJNewman including installing the IPB side first and then the wiki.
Everything worked fine apart from the skin integration. Once again I was faced with a messy looking ipb admin type skin on the wiki.
I then opened up the ipbwiki_skin.php file moved down to lines 106 and 107 and where it said
On the forum side of the install and the Wiki side of the install, I get nothing but driver error.
The install for the wiki gets as far as …
Appending IpbWiki processing to LocalSettings.php…
Enlarge member group storage…
Anyone help? I'm using the latest media wiki and IPB 3.4.2 versions.
Can you try this new version:
http://ipbwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ipbwiki/Releases/ipbwiki_for_ipb30.zip?revision=55
Also if it's a clean install of 3.4, rather than an upgrade, you may need to copy the code from post #7 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/ipbwiki/forums/forum/1278578/topic/5139890 and also changed TYPE=InnoDB to ENGINE=InnoDB in ipbwiki_setup.php.
I think I've managed to get it working, but the skin is completely messed up… :\ www.OsAnswers.com/wiki - Any idea's ?
i'd suggest installing your own custom skin.
such as http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Skins/Naiad/Mediawiki
or one of these http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:All_skins

/style_css/css_1/ipb_styles.css
/style_css/css_1/ipb_messenger.css
I changed them to ---> /style_css/css_4/ipb_messenger.css
/style_css/css_4/ipb_messenger.css
Which corresponds with the number of my default skin. And this is what my site looks like.
Now it is broken again! One day it was working, now a page of errors and warnings. :(
Ok I found what the problem is,,,, my Host upgraded to a newer version of PHP.
Hi dirkseer, if it's "Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated" errors, try the latest code from Subversion, e.g.
http://ipbwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ipbwiki/wiki/ipbwiki_interface.php?content-type=text%2Fplain
Hi PJ, yes that is the error, so will try what you said. Thanks. :)
