Major Additions - VaultWiki: A Wiki for your forum

** THIS MOD IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED **
We are no longer developing this, a newer version is available here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=309676

** DOWNLOAD REMOVED **
The download attached to this thread has been removed due to known unpatched security issues: https://www.vaultwiki.org/pages/Book...-Patch-Level-2

We do not recommend using this version, and we cannot offer support for it any longer.

VaultWiki does not bridge from other wiki products (like MediaWiki, etc). It is a wiki product written just for vBulletin.

About VaultWiki
"The powerful editing options in VaultWiki allow 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.

Use to create general site content, user manuals, wikis... VaultWiki works by extending vBulletin's forum and permissions systems - easily create and designate forum areas for different purposes. With a little imagination, VaultWiki can be configured to do almost anything."

Note that after the confusion over 4.1.0 only having 1 Beta, and the stable version going missing for a while, we can confirm that the current 3.0.8 Lite should still work correctly on 4.1.0.

Whenever I hit the History tab I get the following error.

Thanks, logged this error, so the fix should be included in the next update. You won't get the error if you have permission to undo edits.

Any reason why when I try to run the install script i'm prompted for my admincp username and password over and over? Tried it on different browsers with the same results.

[Vikingant]

Thanks for the tip thincom.
I created a wiki author group giving them permission to edit, and added admins to that group but didnt allow admin to edit but have now and its all working fine.

Shouldnt it allow for secondary group permissions?

This is a known compatibility issue with vBulletin 4.1.0. In order to get around it:

1. Log into your AdminCP first, using the normal admincp path.
2. Then enter the install URL in your address bar.
3. The installer won't ask for your password now, because you are already logged in.

Yes, it should allow for secondary permissions. Even though it's passed through a separate function, the permissions are returned exactly as vBulletin constructs them. Make sure the wiki author group you created has the following permission "Allow Users to have Member Groups". If this is No, only permissions from the primary usergroup would be used.

Already there. Im note sure if it is wiki or VB (4.0.8) that is doing this. I will try and look deeper into it.

Hey folks,

#1 - What is the difference, pros' cons from using this instead of media wiki?

That doesn't work either with the latest 4.1 build. Can't run the install at all. Tried multiple browsers.

1. Syntax: If you use MediaWiki, your users will have to learn a whole new syntax to create articles. In VaultWiki, they can continue using BB-Codes.
2. User Base: VaultWiki is a vBulletin addon so your users don't need to register separately for your wiki, and you don't need to install a separate user bridge. Permissions are handled by vBulletin's usergroups, so you don't need to learn how to set up any new rights systems.
3. Comments System: VaultWiki allows users to comment on your articles. In MediaWiki, there is only one comment post for each article -- multiple users contribute to it.
4. Integrated Search: VaultWiki's search is handled by vBulletin's search engine. In MediaWiki, this is only possible with a separate bridge; otherwise, searches are handled by a different script.
5. Style Integration: VaultWiki's pages are displayed in your forum style and layout. MediaWiki might only do this if you installed a separate bridge. VaultWiki's style and layout can be modified using the familiar vBulletin admin interfaces.
6. Updates: With VaultWiki, you only need to maintain vBulletin and VaultWiki. Otherwise, you have to maintain MediaWiki, vBulletin, and a bridge (if used).
7. Performance: MediaWiki has historically been slow on the average user's server.
8. More: There are a lot more differences, especially in the paid version, but I'm not allowed to post them in this forum.
