i searched alot but didnt find a tutorial on how to install ckeditor for media wiki
i asked there but no one answered , im sure , i should ask here , but as you are professionals maybe know it
thanks in advance
As you probably know, you can integrate CKEditor's precedessor, FCKEditor, with MediaWiki: MediaWiki+FCKEditor
As far as I can see, there is a successor project underway (See discussion here):
Yes, we'll be working on MediaWiki+CKEditor. It will not happen before the final stable CKEditor 3.0 release though.
But as far as I can see, it has not been released yet. Integration does not seem to be entirely trivial, because CKEditor would actually have to produce different code that works with MediaWiki.
You may have to go with FCKEditor for the moment.
I know your question is old but I've been looking to integrate CKEditor for a while now and there is very little information concerning this on the net! For anyone else who might be looking:
I found this on MediaWiki in FCKEditor section of the WYSIWYG_editor page:
Ontoprise's halo team is maintaining a production quality integration
of MediaWiki and CKEditor: Extension:WYSIWYG.
I installed it on our MediaWiki (v.1.16) and so far it works like a charm!

Please forgive me if this is a novice question - I'm a neophyte when it comes to MediaWiki.
I'm looking for Video extensions to add to a MediaWiki project. Some are probably popular and some are arcane. I would like to choose an extension that lots of other Wikis also use. Examples of video extensions here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Video_player_extensions
If this were a WordPress project, I would be able to see the popularity of plug-ins here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/browse/popular/
Is there a way to find the popularity of MediaWiki extensions? I've found lots "top-ten" lists, but I'd rather just get straight to the number of Wiki installations that use a given extension.
Thanks and regards,
Ray
Edit: On the MediaWiki mailing list, a colleague suggested the WikiApiary. Perfect!

The extensions and their popularity can be found here:

So I've been researching, and it looks like converters only exist from vBulletin 3.x to phpBB 2.0 and then from phpBB 2.0 to 3.0
I would rather not do a two-step conversion, but I don't want to do a custom by-hand conversion, either.
So, any suggestions? I've looked all over on Stack, Google, and any forums I could find, but with no luck. Anything that even touches vBulletin 3.x seems to date back to 2007.
I know it's old-as-my-grandma software, but I can't help it. I have only been working at this job for a year or so and the Web Devs before me had an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" attitude so now I"m in this pickle.
Reason for converting to phpBB: vBulletin costs $250/year and we don't need a whole community, we built one in house. Just a forum that works and looks nice.
so I found the answer to this question, in case anyone else needs to know. I started by downloading phpBB 2.0, and converted everything to there, then converted everything from phpBB 2.0 to 3.0. It was a pain, and I had to make some custom login functions so that all my users' passwords weren't lost (as the password reset function is really weak).
Anyway, thanks a lot!
Actually a Vbulletin 3 to PHPBB 3 Converter has been available for some time now. Take a look at this thread on the official PHPBB support forum in the Converters Subforum:

I dont seem to understand how do you integrate CakePHP framework with Joomla 1.6 CMS?
I have been reading and JAKE is commonly mentioned for the integration.
How does Jake assist in the integration, there are very limited resources online which guide me on this.
Is there any site where I can get a good understanding on the linkage between CakePHP with Joomla 1.6 using JAKE.
Thank you.
Max (the guy who made Jake) wrote an article back in 2007 explaining exactly how the linkage between Cake and Joomla works:
http://www.gigapromoters.com/blog/2007/01/28/joining-powers-of-two-great-systems-joomla-and-cakephp/
However, the official Jake site seems to be down and there has been very little talk of anything relating to Cake/Joomla since 2007.
Since then, however, there have been several CMSes created specifically for Cake, so perhaps one of those ones will do what you're looking for? Here's a good blog article with a mini-review of 13 different CakePHP CMSes:
http://blog.dreamcss.com/content-management-system/cakephp-based-cms/
The Jake project was a great idea, but as you note it wasn't maintained for some time and the last release in 2007 is incompatible with the current stable versions of CakePHP and Joomla.
That in mind, I went ahead and upgraded it to work with the current CakePHP and Joomla, after adding in a feature to support friendlier URLs. Feel free to check it out at http://blog.echothis.com/2012/09/26/jake-2-0-released/.
Here is a CakePHP component for Joomla 3 :
https://github.com/ahmad24/JCake
you can access the controller and action by passing the parameter tasks=controllername.actionname
Back end example:
localhost/joomla_32/administrator/index.php?option=com_jcake&tasks=tests.index
Front end example:
localhost/joomla_32/index.php?option=com_jcake&tasks=tests.index
I have just entered in the world of OpenX, and as figured out that new version is built with PLUGIN Framework. I have gone through the Openx plugin development documentation, but its quite bit complicated and half explained.
Being a php developer, I would like to jump into plugin development for openx.
If anyone can point me to a starting, with good reference and tutorial?
Thanks,
Tanmay
I didn't got much reference but here is the link which can help you create plugins
https://svn.openx.org/openx/trunk/plugins_repo/release/openXDeveloperToolbox.zip
With this you can create a framework of plugin. This will be a great help to understand the file structure.
Hope some one will be helped
by using openX Developer Toolbox we we can create new mock plugins, basically it will create a new mock plugin files and you have to change those files as per requirement and you can install that plugin. It is not fully good solution for building a plugin but yes it will help you build a plugin.
Here is another resource for plugins (includes a link to the Toolbox above as well as a demo plugin):
http://blog.openx.org/05/plugin-framework-exposed/
Take care when using the plugin-skeleton generator. It will generate the function name of the delivery method with a wrong name. So at the end it will NOT be called at all.
Adding "_adRender" (as a postfix) to the function-name should fix this.
I'd have thought this would be a native feature (seeing as joomla allows you to connect contacts with user accounts) but we can't find any way to do this!
Does anyone know of any extensions/modules that would allow this?
I'm not so hot on PHP so i'd really love to not have to code this by hand!
This is an old thread, but since it is still opened maybe you haven't found a solution yet. I faced the same problem myself and I think having the ability to manage contacts from the frontend is an essential feature for Joomla! to become more usable as a simple webapp creation tool.
Anyway, there are a couple of extensions that might help you out. However, both are commercial and don't support Joomla! 1.6. Here they are:
Front-edit address book: simple
interface. Note, however, that there
might be a security issue with
it. Google "front-edit address book exploits" and you shall find it (sorry, stackoverflow lets me post a max of 2 links per thread since I'm a new user). I emailed the developer and he assured me that the problem was already fixed, though.
Grumpy contacts: on the demo site (there's a link at the page I pointed you to), it looked a little messy to my taste. In the Joomla! Extensions Directory, however, it has good reviews.
I never used any of those since all my projects are already migrated to Joomla! 1.6.
If you found another alternative in the meantime or even developed something yourself, please let me know.
Do you try in the user menu?
Another option would be install Community Builder.
Good luck!
Contacts in Joomla are handled by the builtin com_contacts compoment which provides basic functionality for adding contacts and some basic info from the back-end.
QContacts is a wonderful extension which gives you some more control over the data you can provide, but still no front-end support.
Unfortunately I am tackling this issue as well and it turns out there are no real out-of-the-box options for supporting front-end editing of contact details.
