VIKI (vb wiki - "inhouse" wiki)

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

WIKI in vbull. NOT a port or bridge. But to actually make a forum a wiki, or very wiki like forum. I think I've seen all the elements are there in separate hacks at one point or another...but the right mix would make a simple but well-integrated wiki.

Basically, all that would be needed i think is:

• View/Save Edit history
• Ability to set choice of usergroups to have complete post and thread editing abilities for A SELECT forum.

(ie: permissions completely different for select forum as now, but INCLUDING permission settings for editing posts. so have one forum be "OPEN".)

• Ability to post articles (viki pages) without all the usual postbit stuff. Just ID maybe (this is not a big requirement though)
• Ability to allow replies or not to first post.

I may be missing something... but I'm those are certainly the main elements that would be needed for everyone to BBAMM!!! have there own inhouse wiki.

Would be great for instructions, faqs, and any posts that needed constant updates and well..all the things that wiki is normally good for. Anyway... beats having to deal with annoying wiki protocol and/or hacks to bridge it mediawiki or whatever wiki software someone uses.

any takers? supporters of the idea?

so, no one for an "inhouse" vbWiki? doh!

It's a great idea.
If you are lucky, and I doubt you are, vB will release one as an addon product.

vbWiki at nuhit.com is excellent. Media Wiki is a great wiki. People know it. Getting people to learn a wiki system is hard.

A "looks and feels" just like vBulletin wiki is a great idea.

A wiki with AJAX ... hmmmmm.....

thanks.

with all the wiki interest out there (and I remmeber a 293847923847 long post thread on a mediawiki integration back in 3.0 or so) ... I'd think a simple add-on that turned vbulletin itself into a wiki would have more interest for people.

and I agree... learning wiki protocal stuff is a pain, imo and its NOT user friendly. this way.. no plugins and integration or "dual site-itus" to worry about.

and heck yah..... vb WIki with Ajax!! that makes so much sense and would be pwnage.

I'd pay $100 for a tight vB wiki with AJAX. I'll probably get vBwiki (MediaWiki Integration). For anyone that runs a site that is trying to accomplish anything, forums just don't cut it. It's plainly obvious.

The people that run sites that want a wiki are MORE than willing to pay for some good stuff.

Forums are for +++++ing and bantering back and forth. Nuttin gets done.

Tags are a desperate way to bring some flexible organization to rigidly hidden posts that will *VERY* soon be forgotten.

never mind vBwiki, Jelsoft should release a product that *IS* integrateable with vBulletin - BUT - could also be standalone.

vBulletin - for Bulletin boards
vWiki - for wikis. (Note to Jelsoft: www.vwiki.com is available)

I guess most users "understand" bulletin boards easily.

Most "got the bucks to spend" users wanting more, want a wiki.

but http://www.vcms.com/ is gone :P

Hmmm ... could this addon be used as a Pseudo-NoN-editable wiki ? Mindestic GlosPro 1.2.2

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

I'd love to see jelsoft take this on officially...though with that blogs and social network and product tracker add-ons they are about to release...I don't have any high hopes for something anytime soon....

but again, I agree, I think a very suitable add-on (which could act as a standalone as well) would be feasible with a couple simple tweeks from a good programmer.

like I said: all the functionality of a true wiki, but using vbulletin standard functions (so people don't have to learn wiki protocol stuff). And the ajaxed powered version would make it a killer.

I don't think mindestic would cut it.

so, if I wasn't explicit... like infonirv said, I be willing to pay for it and I think plenty others would as well.

dude. the timing of this is incredible.

your dreams and mine, are answered.

amazing.

this is going to be the most popular vB addon ever.

it's awesome.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

omg!! sweet!
sounds awesome... only one problem...

I couldn't find a link to purchase it!!! +_+

lol. did you get it?

[InfoNirvana]

weird. their site is DNSing. I've been going there for a year and it's never been down. hmmmm. maybe they are blocking my IP because I spilled the beans on this product !

I don't think it's for sale yet.

I hope I didn't make them mad ! heh.

You can test out all the functionality on their site. It's a fairly simple, BUT POWERFUL, concept. I played with it yesterday at nuhit.com

just check back later I say.

Nah, we appreciate all the feedback you have provided us.

What happened is that we had a conflict between Mint and vbSEO when using IE6. And on top of that there is a router acting up in the data center where our servers are located. (Still working on this).

Thanks. NuWiki is now available from our online store. We are still adding documentation, tips and tricks, etc.
