Templates not working

Cannot get templates to work as desired

We recently installed vaultwiki v3.0.11 on vbulletin 4.1.3

We are trying to set up and use templates, so far without success. I have noted there are a couple of articles here that indicate there should be a Template Namespace with static ID 2 - that doesn't appear in our Namespace Manager. Is this okay?

We created a new namespace called Template and assigned it the template namespace function. I have created a couple of test template articles, and then linked to them from a wiki article. However, in the wiki article they are appearing as the name of the template and with the blue link (that will take you to the template article) but they don't pull in the template contents.

Any suggestions?

The format should be

Code:

[template]Name|args[/template]

Using the following makes it a link only:

Code:

[template=Name]text[/template]

This is as described on your Special:WikiCodeList page.

This IS what we are using, but it still appears as a link rather than a template.

Can you link to a page where the template code isn't working, so I can have a look?

Thanks for looking at this Pegasus. The code at the beginning of the article calls the template called "test".

I'm not sure if this is your issue, but due to other screwups in Special:WikiCodeList, it's looking likely.

I believe this may be happening because the BB-Code tag you have defined in Namespace Manager contains a capital letter.

If this is true, then this can be fixed by editing vault/wiki/field.php, find:

Code:

return $vbulletin->options['vault_namespaces']["$namespaceid"]["$field"];

Replace with:

Code:

$buffer = $vbulletin->options['vault_namespaces']["$namespaceid"]["$field"]; if ($field == 'bbcodetag') { $buffer = strtolower($buffer); } return $buffer;

Implemented, and templates now seem to be working as desired. Many thanks Pegasus
