I'm a great fan of your work, thincom. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like a new version of NuWiki is being released anytime soon (and the latest release candidate is pretty buggy) given ElfMage's disappearance. Would you be willing to update this add-on, so that I can test it? We are using a heavily-customized version of NuWiki on our production forums.

When I first released this mod, I was completely unaware of the large amount of bugs in this addon alone. I have been working on it almost daily for the past six months, developed a lot of new features, and plugged a lot of holes in its code as well as NuWiki's. I will release the updated package as soon as I get back from my vacation and finish updating it for 3.7.

Many thanks for your work!!

Thank you so much, thincom2000! I'm really looking forward to your update package, since it can only help to improve NuWiki.

[thincom2000]

For those of you who requested that I release an updated version, here is what I have left on the to-do list before I can:

- update file edits in readme
- article ratings
- handle inlinemod deletespam (new in vB 3.7)
- debug support for wikify second post
- add support for cached posts even in dynamic articles (currently there is NO cached support in this mod, requires current parser rewrite)

As you can see, the list is short, so it should definitely be available before the next build of NuWiki.

[Alfa1]

Many thanks for the update. I'll be checking this thread regularly.

[thincom2000]

In working on fixing Thread Ratings on articles, I realized that like ratings, permissions are not rechecked for targets of wiki redirects, and that thread marking for the targets is also not done. I was planning on a complete rewrite of nuwiki.php and showthread.php anyway for the sole purpose of this mod since the plugin count has gotten rediculous and I need to add support for cached posts.

While the next expected version number was 1.1.0, a rewrite of this nature is probably grounds to increase the number to 2.0.0. Of course no one really cares about version numbers but I thought you should know that the changes in this next release are huge.

Thanks! That sounds very good to me.

[Kaelon]

Ditto with Alfa! Thanks so much for your work, thincom! Once you release it, let us know if we can support you through donations, recognition, or anything like that. I am thrilled that you're maintaining this great mod.

Hi, just wanted to keep you updated since it's been a while since I promised this SOON.

Since last time (about 12 days ago), I have:
- extended headlines so that their sections are collapseible via AJAX
- extended section editing so that sections are editable via Quick Edit
- rewritten showthread.php
- rewritten class_postbit.php
- rewritten class_bbcode.php

I am basically in the process of debugging my rewrites right now, and I have a number of fixes in mind already for the morning but I'm tired and going to bed.

I'm also considering distributing this with a Help namespace filled with articles (so a bunch of threads would be auto-created on install) about how to use it compared to the original NuWiki.
