Can't post in my Wiki

Hi all,

I'm a new user for both VBulletin and VaultWiki.
I just bought and installed VaultWiki on my board, but I have a question about name spaces...

In the documentation, it says to create at least the namespace DEFAULT, which I did.
Before doing that, I did create within VB a FORUM CATEGORY called "WIKI".
In the default namespace, under "TOP LEVEL FORUM", I can see ALL the other forum categories that I created for my regular forums, BUT the one I called WIKI.

Is there a reason for that ?

I see that it's top level forum is "----Default"

But then if I go in the forum manager, I can see the forum called DEFAULT being under the WIKI category.

Did I screw up things ?

The second issue I have is that when I create a post, it asks me for a title.... the for the post itself..
No matter how many lines I enter, I get the same error message when I validate:

The following errors occurred with your submission

* The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 5 characters.

Anyone can advise me on one of those 2 issues ?

Thanks !

If you have other forums under Wiki that are being used for other namespaces, this would explain why Wiki is not appearing. This is working as designed. If you can follow: You would not be able to select the parent forum because that would effectively put the other namespaces inside Default - which would cause problems when the wiki tries to determine what each namespace is used for.

That said, there is still a related bug: http://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/1063/

As for your message being too short. I do not think this is a problem with VaultWiki since the new article form uses almost the same back-end as the default new thread form. Please post the text you are trying and I will try to figure out why it's not validating.

Hi Pegasus,

Thanks for the answer..

So I re-read the documentation, and I am still a little bit confused.
I uninstalled Vault and will try from scratch again..

So whenever I create a name space, or I edit the default for the first time, this is going to appear as a forum in my board, right ?
is it possible to put it under a forum category that I would have created before , or should I create a new category from the Vault admin ?

Once I have that setup, I'll take care of the too small post. For info, my first article was "test" , and the post itself was "This is a test !"

I can post such thread in my other forums.

You can do either.

The easiest way is to select "Create New Forum" where it says "Top-Level Forum". If you have a category you already want to use, you can select it on the next page. If you don't you should answer Yes to "create a new forum category" question.

What did you name the namespace with ID #1 (it was "Special" before)?

I did not change anything.
Fresh installation, and did what you said.
Created a parent forum that I called "WIKI" that I can see in the forum list, and that's it.

In vault/special_plugins.php, find:

Code:

					$threadinfo['threadid'] = 0;
					$threadinfo['title'] = '';
					$threadinfo['namespace'] = '';
					$threadinfo['namespaceid'] = ISLAND_SPACE;

Replace with:

Code:

					$threadinfo = array(
						'threadid' => 0,
						'title' => '',
						'namespaceid' => ISLAND_SPACE
					);

Hi ..

After this change, I rebuilt the name spaces, and it worked.
Now, what's this "special" that I can't access ?
And when I create an article, is it going to go also in the Forum category WIKI subforum "default" ..!?

Thanks

PS: I still have the issue with

"Special" is an area filled with statistics and data reports. The permissions for these don't use the bitfields, so there was no easy way to give admins permissions during the installation. You will need to go to your Usergroup Manager, and begin enabling access to the Special pages for your usergroups.

When you "Post New Article" it will go in the forum category you're currently in - but default should be your main content area. If you click a link to a page that needs to be created, it doesn't know what subforum it belongs in, so it will try to create the page in the "default" root.

Do you have other modifications installed? Please list.

What is the content you are trying to post? I haven't been able to reproduce this here or on a test board. This may be a conflicting mod or setting value. If someone can PM me access to a test board with this problem, I will gladly escalate this to a bug report.

EDIT: Thanks for your language file suggestion - I will have a look.

I have installed the language file on a test board and created several articles successfully. I have tried multiple "Minimum Character" setting values including 0, all with success. I make my request again above. If anyone can PM me access to a test board with this problem, I'd like to solve it ASAP.

Fixed for the next build. This was a Javascript conflict involving duplicate script inclusions, missing scripts, and the WYSIWYG editor. While I was never able to reproduce this here using WYSIWYG, template edits on another server appear to have eliminated the issue. You may need to revert your vault_article_main template after upgrading to Beta 4.
