Hi,

As it is, all of the custom namespaces would be added to the Default namespace. I wasn't sure if it was really possible to add your own in MediaWiki. I have moved this to a feature request.

In the mean time, if you really want to perform your import, you will have to modify the file vault/special_import_mediawiki.php. Find:

Code:

if (!$handled) { $page['namespaceid'] = $this->registry->options['ces_default_forumid']; }

Before this you should add your own code as follows:

Code:

if ($page['namespaceid'] == MEDIAWIKI_CUSTOM_NAMESPACEID) { $page['namespaceid'] = VAULTWIKI_CUSTOM_NAMESPACEID; $handled = true; }

Where MEDIAWIKI_CUSTOM_NAMESPACEID is the namespace ID according to MediaWiki, and VAULTWIKI_CUSTOM_NAMESPACEID is the namespace ID of the namespace you created in VaultWiki to move it to.

If i had more than one special namespace in mediawiki, then i use the modification for each namespace?

Yes. If they have talk spaces, you'll want to update $talk_spaces (array MEDIAWIKI_TALKSPACEID => MEDIAWIKI_TALKSPACEID) and $talking (array MEDIAWIKI_TALKSPACEID => VAULTWIKI_NAMESPACEID).

Implemented for the next build. In addition to support for custom namespaces, you can now select what forum to import each namespace to.
