Major Additions - VaultWiki Lite 4.x: Wiki for vBulletin Forums

VaultWiki allows your existing forum users to work together on creating and managing a site's content pages, rather than competing to make popular threads. VaultWiki is a fully-featured and fully-supported wiki add-on solution for vBulletin.

Encourage Users to Work Together
VaultWiki allows your community to collaborate to create and publish content pages for your site. Multiple users can edit the same page, and your staff can moderate changes as they are made. VaultWiki maintains a detailed history of every page, making it just as easy to reverse unwanted changes.

Create All Kinds of Content
With VaultWiki, you can create general site content, user manuals for your products, wikis, eBooks, eCommerce product pages, and more. With a little imagination, VaultWiki can be purposed to do almost anything.

Seamlessly Integrates With Your Community
At its core, VaultWiki is an add-on product for your vBulletin forum platform. Its pages all meld with the forum's existing style. Users write new content with the same editor and BB-Codes they are already familiar with. The content is indexed by your forum's built-in search engine. And each user's contributions are acknowledged on his or her profile.

Attract New Membership
VaultWiki creates content and content URLs that are designed to drive new traffic to your site. With guides for search engines embedded in every page, each page preserves its value when it comes to generating traffic.

Fast, Responsive Support
Subscriptions come with free support in our forums and bug tracker system, and documentation is available online at all times. Paid installation and upgrade services can be ordered via our web site.

Active Development
The team at VaultWiki.org are actively involved in the development process. VaultWiki is constantly updated to be compatible with the newest forum software releases, to meet web standards, and to incorporate new technologies. Bugs are fixed promptly and new features come out all the time.

Hi, great work. I've been checking out this wiki software, and I'm seriously contemplating using the premium version on my forum. One important question: is it compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License? Is there any option to choose between copyleft licenses, and so on? I remember when I installed MediaWiki a few years ago, I had the choice of licensing all content between the GFDL and various Creative Commons licenses. How does it work with VaultWiki?

And how stable is it now, considering that it's still in beta stage?

[Alan_SP]

Well, I'm using old (v3) version of VW, and I can say that support you get from developer is great.

In case of a bug, you'll pretty soon receive code you need to change, so you don't need to upload new version.

This version (v4) probably would need some more time to reach full stability, but has some great options. So, you can buy old one and start using it, till new version reaches desired stability.

Really? They haven't responded yet on their main site. Not even approved my thread there. I guess they're too busy.

That's cool.

Examples?

And why should I use VaultWiki over MediaWiki? I don't like the proprietary EULA of VaultWiki. I prefer the GNU GPL, but I understand they're doing this because they want to be able to charge for the premium version. However, they could just do donations instead, would be much better.

In any case, I'd like to know if there's a license option for the content created in VaultWiki. Using MediaWiki, one can choose between the GFDL or Creative Commons, how does that work with VW?

Technically the GPL license is not compatible with a vBulletin license.

I'm trying to install VaultWiki Lite, but I get a blank page after I sign in. This wasn't of much help.

Of course it isn't, because vBulletin is proprietary. That doesn't however mean, content edited on VaultWiki (which is not actually vBulletin, although integrated with it) can't be edited/published/released under GFDL.

The important question here is, why would I use VaultWiki over a hell of a lot more stable, mature, secure, powerful and open source, MediaWiki? All I need is this:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Exten...rs_Integration

Or this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=270517

To get the important vBulletin integration VaultWiki offers.

I don't like VaultWiki's EULA.

[Zachery]

Then don't, and get out of the topic?

You have your needs, I have mine. And, they are different (it's obvious, but I think this fact needed to be said).

If you want completely integrated wiki product for your vBulletin forum, there's only one wiki product you can use: VaultWiki. Others, in best case scenario, has bridges that help a bit integrating two different software platforms.

About features I like very much in VW4, it's thread headers, based on forum headers, but just in threads, then handling languages. There are of course more new features, but these two are my favorites. And yes, there would be more new features, as developer listens to community. I know that for a fact, thread headers was my suggestion.
