Empty Article

I have two namespaces, with one set as default.

I upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.5.0, and my two articles in the non-default namespace are empty, and seem to be trying to point to the default namespace.

The article title appears in the correct forum/namespace, but clicking on it displays the header from the default namespace, although the URL shows the non-default namespace.

My forum navigation "breadcrumb" displays the correct (non-default) forum name.

Creating the article in the default namespace will work, but moving it to the correct forum displays a blank article again (no errors during the move).

It's not trying to restore to a different namespace. It's referring to the wiki in general, otherwise it would appear in quotes.

I didn't get "invalid action specified" after applying the above edits, but did receive something like "invalid thread specified". To fix that, in template vault_inlinemod_undelete, find (2x):

Code:

threadids

Replace with:

Code:

tlist[$threadinfo[threadid]]

This works for me.

Still a no-go, with those edits.

I'm uploading a few screenshots. Here are the URLs for each screenshot:

At this point I am totally willing to uninstall VaultWiki and do a fresh reinstall of it, so if it's something I've done, don't worry about it too much.

The entire template should look like this:

HTML Code:

<div class="content_form">$vbphrase[vault_no_taboptions]</div><br />

<form action="inlinemod.php?do=undeletethread" method="post" name="vbform">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="hidden" name="tlist[$threadinfo[threadid]]" value="$threadinfo[threadid]" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="undeletethread" />
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="$threadinfo[url]"  />

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
	<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
	<div class="panel">
		<div style="width:$stylevar[formwidth]" align="$stylevar[left]">

		<fieldset class="fieldset">
			<legend>$vbphrase[vault_notes]</legend>
			<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
				<div class="fieldset"><phrase 1="$threadinfo[fulltitle]" 2="$wiki_info[sitename]">$vbphrase[vault_undeleting_x]</phrase></div>
			</div>
		</fieldset>

		</div>
	</div>

	<div style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px">
		<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[vault_undel_article]" accesskey="s" />
		<input type="reset" class="button" value="$vbphrase[reset_fields]" accesskey="r" />
	</div>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>

That did help me undelete, but I'm back to square one.

After undeleting the articles, I had two of each article.

I changed the forum to being a regular forum, moved the duplicate threads into a different forum, and then changed the forum back to the correct namespace.

Now my article is blank again.

Update to above: I moved the old threads back into the wiki, and ran the URL manager. It found the two duplicate articles, and has allowed me to correct one of them.

I still have one document which displays as a page conflict, but clicking the Edit button gives me this error:
There is no page conflict for the specified URL.

Just to document what I'm going to do (which I suspect will fix it):
- Change the forum back to a normal non-wiki forum
- Move the unwanted duplicate thread out
- Change the forum back to a wiki again
- If that doesn't fix it, I will change it back to a non-wiki forum again, and edit the name of the unwanted thread, and then make it a wiki again, to see if it will let me properly remove the article.

The above did not work, and actually made both of my articles blank again.

I have fixed it temporarily by making the forum into an Island wiki.

Let me know if it would just be easier for me to uninstall and reinstall VaultWiki.

It's possible the Wiki URL Manager is reporting a false positive for the last result. This is addressed somewhere else on the site and can be ignored for now.

When the articles are blank, you need to AdminCP -> CES VaultWiki -> Namespace Manager -> [Rebuild]. If a duplicate page is moved while it is actually the page people see, you may need to Rebuild after moving it to get the other page you kept to appear.

Generally switching back and forth between forum types isn't recommended because blank page issues like this tend to occur, and fixing it becomes more server intensive the larger your wiki is.

I'm sorry to re-open this.

I completely uninstalled VaultWiki (using the directions in the readme file, which included uninstalling the product and removing all associated files), reinstalled it from scratch.

My default namespace is just fine, but my additional namespace is showing the "There is currently no text in this page." message.

When I recreated my additional namespace, I did not use an & in the title.

Here is my info:
Default Namespace
Name: Default
Title: Official Strategies

Additional Namespace
Name: Charter
Title: Charter and Policies

I have not made any of the above modifications to files or templates, this is with a fresh install of the package downloaded today.

Would this have to do with my forum structure?

Here is what I have:
Official Kinship Publications (Category)
- Official Strategies (Forum - Default Namespace)
- Charter and Policies (Forum - Additional non-Default Namespace)
- (other forums here, non-wiki)

Another update. After I deleted the additional namespace, it gave me a MySQL error about a duplicate index.

It appears to have removed the namespace from the listing; however, now my default namespace is having the same "no text" error.

Edited to Add:
At this time I have changed the Default namespace to a non-viewable forum, and Disabled the Wiki from my two old namespace forums.

I'm heading out for the evening. I will be very happy to duplicate my live site to a test system if you'd like to get in and re-check settings.

If you got a MySQL error before maybe the namespaces were corrupted. To try to fix the corruption, please try CES VaultWiki > Namespace Manager > Rebuild All Namespaces.

If this doesn't work again, I would be glad to get in and see what's wrong. Once you set up the test please PM me the details.

I did that several times, and after changing settings. I'll set things up and get in touch with you, likely tomorrow or perhaps Sunday!

I've fixed your issue on the test server, but since this thread already contains a non-working fix and it's several pages long (that others may not want to read through), I've posted the working fix here: http://www.crackedeggstudios.com/issues/784/
