Add-On Releases - THS Wiki - Lightweight wiki for vBulletin

THS Wiki is a lightweight wiki for vBulletin which we built when there were none that integrated smoothly with vBulletin.

What it does

• Uses forum for storage (threads => articles, posts => revisions)
• TinyMCE editor
• Script, object and embed tag suppression
• BBCode
• User banning
• Custom URL formats
• Search within the wiki

Things it does not do

• Templates (the wiki kind, not the vBulletin one)
• Namespaces

Demo

Bugs, questions, feedback? Let us know!

Looks quite nice!

I would need two features before I could install it.

1) Auto-Linking (terms in the forums are auto-linked to the wiki entries)
2) Table of Contents to display a list of terms (preferably tabulated by first letter of the term)

Other than that, it looks great!

Installed without a single problem, nice work.

My primary concern is access control more than anything. I'll be the first to admit I'm not all that familiar with Wikis, but some of my users have requested one for various reasons so it thought I'd give this a shot.

In any case, it looks like a good start and I'll keep updating. =)

One thing I just noticed is that this adds to the unread post count. Any way to make that not happen?

[Black Tiger]

Great idea. I'll tag this for now and got the same question as Trek.

Your demo page isn't working, in case you didn't know.

[pooker]

It is not giving me an option to create a page like it does with your demo.

An example would be if I search for vbulletin. Under your demo it says "vbulletin does not exist, would you like to create it?"

It says this nowhere on mine.

ive been going crazy trying to find a wiki with a decent wysiwyg editor... vaultwiki is incredibly hard to get installed and working properly, and they're wysiwyg editor is an eyesore, and namespaces are too complicated. so far i like your wiki plugin because it's simple, but id like request a few features:

1. vb editor instead of tinymce - would greatly help minimize confusion between the wiki and forum.
2. allow plugins to scan wiki pages. like the ame video plugin that automatically turns video urls into embed code.
3. there's no "create a new page" button/link anywhere. that would eliminate some confusion as to how to create a new page.
4. allow pagest to be edited without filling out the "reason for editing" field.

other than that, it's looking like it's going in the right direction! looking forward to updates!

Well hell, I was going to try vaultwiki. Is anyone still supporting this wiki? I don't need all the extra features everyone's asking for, I just need for it to be supported.

Hey guys, I've been kind of busy lately so the whole 1.3 release last Tuesday got blown away

1) You could add a [wiki] BBCode tag that links to wiki.php?page=*insert page here*
2) There will be an index of all existing wiki pages in our 'special pages' section.

Exclude your designated wiki-forum from searches, that should fix it. Alternatively, disallow your members from accessing that board (which hides new posts in there from them).

We've had troubles with our ISP this last week, we're trying to come up with a solution.

Our demo is also where I debug the latest version, which is currently 1.3, so all of the functionality there may not be available in the package on vBulletin.org all the time.

Maybe I should like.. add a footer or something that displays which version of the wiki someone's running. What do ya think?

1. It's been requested before and at the moment I have no idea how to implement that properly, I tried once and that didn't work for all users so until I've read through the guide on vBEditor that I saw here somewhere that'll have to wait. I hate reading guides...
2. I guess we could emulate the postbit hook or whatever that plugin uses, but that might look messy. I'll look into it once we've released 1.3
3. In 1.3 the search page will suggest that you create the page if an exact match doesn't exist already. Before we added the search feature in 1.1 the box just took you to the exact page you entered, which then asked you to create it, but we overlooked that part when we added the search functionality.
4. I guess we could make that an option for the AdminCP, personally I want my users to fill in a reason so you can later look back and see why someone thought a particular edit was necessary.

Ya but I have a life beyond this so I may not give you real-time support all the time


Here's what's happened on 1.3 so far:

1.3
	/product-thswiki.xml
	/upload/wiki.php
	/upload/admincp/thswiki.php	
	/upload/includes/class_thswiki.php

	*Search now suggests you create a page
	*Search now only shows latest revision from each article
	*Search title bugfix
	*Banned usergroups are now banned
	*Locked Pages in AdminCP
	*Random Page functionality
	*Dependancy for PHP 5

Before releasing we're also going to:

• Add statistics
• Add article index
• Move search, random and statistics to articles named Special:-feature here-
• Try to figure out how to emulate page reporting, alternatively do our own report system

Thanks for the reply! I just wanted to be sure it wasn't a case where the author took off and will never come back.
