Please note that with RC 3, cleanup tasks related to the phrasing and language systems have been completed. Beginning with RC 3, anywhere in VaultWiki that phrases appear to be missing should be logged as a bug.
More Extensible for Third-Party Plugins
VaultWiki 4 RC 3 introduces a Class Proxy System which allows third-party add-on developers to extend VaultWiki's core classes without interfering with VaultWiki's ability to extend those classes internally, and without interfering with other add-ons that wish to do the same.XenForo add-on developers are familiar with this kind of approach, although VaultWiki's system allows further extension out "sideways" due to its abstract nature and the ability to support multiple forum platforms.
The new plugin/event locations vw_load_controller, vw_load_model, and vw_load_view allow you to do just this. XenForo's Code Event Listener creation interface features a detailed explanation of how to implement this system in modifications. The comments in /vault/core/model/vw.php offer a bit more information if needed or if you are using vBulletin.
WIDGET BB-Code
The new WIDGET BB-Code allows users to create a variety of different blocks, including:- Multi-page: Small blocks of content split into multiple views or pages
- Multi-page-auto: Animated "paged" content
- Book: Book table of contents
- Forum: Titles of recent threads in a forum
- Thread: Thread-list view of recent threads in a forum
- Special: Output from a Special page
- Area: Titles of recent wiki pages in an area
- Group: Titles of recent wiki pages in a group
- Category: Titles of wiki pages in a category
Widgets can be styled with DIVs, placed inline, or promoted to the sidebar.
Support for DigitalPoint Sphinx Search (vB4 only)
VaultWiki 4 RC 3 ships with a module for DigitalPoint's Sphinx Search add-on for vBulletin 4, which will allow your users to search your forum again without receiving missing index errors while both mods are installed.The module is included in the do_not_upload folder and should be uploaded to the same directory as DigitalPoint's Sphinx configuration. After uploading the module, you will need to issue a rotate-all command before Sphinx will be able to read the wiki indexes.
Release Notes
VaultWiki 4 RC 3 should be usable on vBulletin-based and XenForo-based production sites.VaultWiki 4 RC 3 is proposed as stable for community evaluation. Further significant bugs will delay a 4.0.0 release and result in further release candidates.
