Almost all wiki bbcodes are gone after upgrade to xf2.

Nothing parses because the bbcodes are gone. Only book & category are still there. Nothing else.

I did not have this happen on a site I upgraded from XF1+4.0.16 to XF2+4.1.0 Beta 2 last week. It looks like all the BB-Codes are still there. Please double-check the database that there are no xf_bb_code entries with addon_id = 'vw/vwcustom'. Possibly the BB-Codes are there but not appearing in the admin page for some reason.

What was the process used? What version was the XF1 installation on before upgrading? Did the 4.1.0 Beta 2 upgrade finish without issue, or does the add-on manager still give an Upgrade option?

If the BB-Codes are truly gone, this occurs because XenForo's add-on setup process automatically deletes all BB-Codes whenever an add-on gets upgraded due to the way XenForo has designed it. XenForo does not provide a method to disable this, so we workaround the issue by saving VaultWiki's BB-Codes to a different add-on ID. If the BB-Code step in our upgrade process was skipped for some reason, it is also possible that the add-on ID was not changed, so XenForo was able to delete the BB-Codes. This might be shown in internal-data://vw_logs/upgrade, which is a log of all the upgrade steps that were performed prior to letting XenForo perform its stock steps. The BB-Code step is generally the last or second-to-last step in the log.

Another user had this problem when upgrading XF1 to XF2 and I was able to locate the cause. It is fixed in the next build. Upgrades performed after that upgrade should not have the BB-Codes inexplicably deleted.

For upgrades already affected, upgrading to the next version will automatically replace the missing BB-Codes. However, any customizations you had made, such as tag-name, icon, or wiki-related options will need to be re-made.

Users with some programming ability can replace the BB-Codes manually by running the following code:

Code:

class Fake_View { public function explain() {} } $view = new Fake_View(); \vw_Hard_Core::install('Common')->bbcodes($view);
