Can only add Pre-made chapters

Can't make new chapters directly

I ran into an odd thing earlier. I was making a sample Book to show my users how to make their own. When I clicked "Add New Chapter" from within the Book's index and made the first page, and then clicked the Post Article button, it said that the Article was made but I didn't have the permissions to add it to the book. However, if I tracked down the chapter manually and told the book to add it as a pre-made URL, it was implemented just fine. I checked, but there don't appear to be any permissions regarding books and chapters.

Did you create the article as an admin or another user?

This bug was reported for 3.0.1 originally, but I haven't been able to reproduce it since 3.0.2...

Right now you are set with the exact same permissions and user groups as me. Go ahead and try to duplicate it.

I was working on this guide (step 10) for my users at the time I discovered the problem. Go ahead and try to add a chapter to this book and see if it happens to you.

Just a side note, I know I mentioned this before, but having some kind of permission to limit where people can make new chapters when adding it via the "Add New Chapter" button would be very helpful. You can see from the guide how I have it set up, and any simplification would make it easier on them.

I believe this only occurs when the newly created chapter is created in an Island-type forum, or at least the original selection from the Add New Chapter form was. In vault/functions/showwiki.php, find:

Code:

$islandforum = fetch_foruminfo($vbulletin->GPC['forumid']);

Add before:

Code:

if ($vault->error & VAULT_NOID) { $vault->error -= VAULT_NOID; unset($vault->misc['special']); }

That actually broke it... When I try to make a new chapter it says "Fatal error: Call to a member function generate() on a non-object in /home/rgf2/runicgamesfansite.com/vault/plugins/showwiki.php on line 105"

Here is what the code looks like right now:

Code:

		if ($_POST['forumid'] > 0)
		{
if ($vault->error & VAULT_NOID)
{
$vault->error -= VAULT_NOID;
unset($vault->misc['special']);
}
			$islandforum = fetch_foruminfo($vbulletin->GPC['forumid']);

			if ($islandforum['vault_type'] == 2)
			{
				$hook_namespace = ISLAND_SPACE;
			}
			else
			{
				$hook_namespace = $vault->field->fetch_namespaceid($vbulletin->GPC['forumid']);
			}
		}

In vault/plugins/showwiki.php, find:

Code:

		$threadinfo['namespaceid'] AND
		!($vault->error & VAULT_NOID) AND
		empty($_REQUEST[$vbulletin->options['ces_titlevar']])

Add after:

Code:

 AND
		$_REQUEST['do'] != 'create' AND
		strtoupper($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) == 'GET'

That fixed it! Everything works now, thanks!

P.S. I'll have to wait to test the server load issue - right now we have high traffic and I can't risk causing problems :P
