Hi guys, I've used vaultwiki for about a year. I like how easy Vaultwiki is, but I'm curious to know if anyone has made modes, addons, etc., that give it more value. I'm looking for reasons to re-subscribe.

If you're very happy with your integration, please post or PM me a link of your forum website. I'd like to take a look.

Well, I guess you're having pro version.

VW4 is now in alpha testing, so there will be new version. If I were you, I'll pay another year of support and upgrades.

I'm using vB 4.1.10. Recently did the install. Looks like a good product but having a few issues.

There are some missing (or unlinked) icon images.

On the article edit page
(URL)/images/buttons/collapse-40b.png
(URL)/images/buttons/collapse-40b_collapsed.png
These appear to be a typo as the filename should be collapse_40b...

The icon in front of the Wiki forum on the Forum page.
(URL)/icon/vb4_wiki_page_new-48.png
This seems to be because it's looking in the wrong directory. I tried setting the Wiki images folder StyleVar to vault/images, but that didn't make any difference.

When I view an article, an expand/collapse icon ((URL)/images/buttons/collapse_40b.png) is oddly at the top right of the page. It expands and collapses the Posting Permissions field which is at the bottom of the page. So that icon is definitely misplaced. I'm using a very vanilla style, so I'm not sure why that's happening.

Linking directly to a post on the discussion page doesn't seem to work. It ends up looking at the article, even if your post is on the third page of comments. After doing some experiments it appears showwiki.php isn't smart enough to know that if you use the p="post number" attribute that it should be on the discussion page. It works if &do=comments is added to the URL but the post links don't already include that. "Go to first new post" (goto=newpost) seems to kinda work in that it goes to the discussion page and on the correct (I assume) page of the thread, but not the specific post.


There are a few new BB Code that I'm not sure do anything.

Image resizing doesn't work in the article, though it still seems to work in the discussion.

Would be great if someone could offer a solution to any of these issues. Thanks in advance.

I'll be posting an update later today that should fix many of the aforementioned issues.

[dougdirac]

How much later today?

[thincom2000]

A number of fixes have been merged into the current version of VaultWiki Lite (3.0.11). Download the new ZIP, overwrite your files, and run the upgrade script. Even though there is no version change, some templates and other issues have been fixed.

You sure you guys have the right files in this mini-update (3.0.11b)?

I tried in to install on a test server from a fresh clone of my live site. The installer identified itself as version 3.0.9 and said there was a previous version installed (even though there wasn't). The only option was a button that said "upgrade". I clicked that and it screwed up the database and killed the site. I'm rebuilding my test server now.

Check on this please.

[thincom2000]

Even though the installer reports that it is version 3.0.9, it is still 3.0.11 - but there are no changes needing install/upgrade steps since 3.0.9 so the version number isn't changed. This is the only quirk I see; it shouldn't affect the database schema.

If the update causes database errors for you, a more detailed read-out of the errors would make it easier to assist you.

[dougdirac]

Yeah, sorry. It looks like even though I was using a fresh clone of my live site on my dev server, some bits of the database were left over from last time I did a trial install. And your install script wouldn't work. Seems to have worked ok on a different clone.

Thanks for fixing all those bugs I pointed out before.

Question, though.

On my site for normal forums, showthread.php looks for a thread number. So say I have a URL for a thread, e.g., (home URL)/showthread.php/8886-My-First-Drive-Review. If the thread name gets changed from "My First Drive Review" to "First-Drive-Reviews", the new URL would be (home URL)/showthread.php/8886-First-Drive-Reviews, but the old URL still works since the thread number is the same. However, it seems like with showwiki.php, minor changes in the thread name totally break previous URLs. It that right?

[thincom2000]

Have you tried this? Renaming an article should leave a redirect at the old URL that points to the new URL, unless you tell VaultWiki not to create one at that time.
