Script to rebuild namespaces by a cron job

Could you please create a script to rebuild namespaces by a cron job?

Hello,

Could you please create a script to rebuild namespaces by a cron job?

It looks like the issue with empty articles from RSS import (see at https://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/2224 ) can be somewhat addressed by using VaultWiki Lite and rebuilding namespaces after RSS import. This trick does not work with VaultWiki Premium though.

Thank you,

Mark

Instead it's better to fix the RSS bug. The problem is that the newly created thread is not stored in $threadinfo after it's created via RSS.

In vault/plugins/newpost.php, find:

Code:

global $threadinfo, $vault;

Add after:

Code:

if (!$threadinfo) { $threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($post['threadid']); }

In order to fix old articles, you would have to move them to a non-wiki forum using inline moderation. Then move them back and they will be visible again. Although rebuilding namespaces works for most "missing" articles, this only works because the article's URL is broken. It doesn't work for RSS because the article was never created in the first place.

Thank you for your reply, pegasus!

However, the fix does not work because the function special_newpost_complete() apparently does not get called at all when a new RSS post gets created. Has the fix worked in your hands?

Please advise.

Thank you,

Mark

Hi pegasus,

It looks like the code that you mentioned could never work because

1) In VaultWiki plugin "Thread Data - ReCache Edited First Post", condition

Code:

$this->forum['vault_type']

is never satisfied (i.e. never "> 0" )

and

2) In function special_newpost_complete() in newpost.php,

Code:

$post['postid']

is not numerical.

I confirmed the problems with both paid and free (plugin and PHP filenames are obviously different for the free one) versions of VaultWiki and with vBulletin versions 3.7.4 and 4.1.5.

You may want to double-check if the programmers that VaultWiki hires actually test the code before releasing it, not just assume that it would work.

I would also appreciate if you could figure out an intelligent fix for these problems (other than commenting out $post['postid'] and $this->forum['vault_type']).

Thank you,
Mark

Hi,

Replace the code in the plugin you mentioned with this:

Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'threadrate' AND $this->post['postid'] = $this->fetch_field('firstpostid'))
{
	global $vault;

	$vault->fetch_instance('contenttype');

	if ($this->info['vault_options'])
	{
		$this->dbobject->query_write("
			REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vault_options
				(contenttypeid, contentid, options)
			VALUES
				(" . intval($vault->misc['contenttypes']['post']) . ", " . intval($this->post['postid']) . ", " . intval($this->info['vault_options']) . ")
		");
	}
	else
	{
		$this->dbobject->query_write("
			DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vault_options
			WHERE contenttypeid = " . intval($vault->misc['contenttypes']['post']) . "
				AND contentid = " . intval($this->post['postid']) . "
		");
	}

	if ($this->registry->options['vault_caching'] OR $this->info['forum']['vault_type'])
	{
		require_once(DIR . '/vault/plugins/data.php');
		special_data_postsave($this);
	}

	if (
		$this->info['is_automated'] == 'rss' AND
		$this->info['forum']['vault_type'] AND
		$this->condition === null
	)
	{
		require_once(DIR . '/vault/plugins/newpost.php');
		$post = array_merge($this->post, $this->thread);
		special_newpost_complete($post, 'thread');
	}
}

Re: your comments in #2. This is not released code. I don't guarantee that this will work. It will not be tested or released until the next actual release of VaultWiki. Also we haven't -officially- included RSS support yet, which is why the code wasn't finished, and it is not planned until at least 4.0.0 Beta 2.

Thanks a lot, pegasus!

After all plugin and code modifications, RSS import works just fine now.
