Full Table of Contents not shown in Books

I've noticed that it would display only 2 levels deep if only books are nested, that is:

Top Level Book:

1 - 1st level book
---1.1 - 2nd level book
------1.1.1 3rd level book

And then even though there are more book as chapters in 2nd level books in will not display them. 1.1.1 doesn't get displayed when viewing the Top Level book.

But if chapters 1.1.1/1.1.2/1.1.3 and so on are articles (being in the Main namespace) it will display them when viewing the Top Level Book.

Why is that?

And also when it reaches 1.1.3 (the last chapter in 1.1) then there is no link on the page to go to 1.2.

Thank you.

Edit: So I somehow managed to enable 3rd level (using Clean Article Post Cache), but here it gets even weirder - it only works in 1.1, but not in 1.2.

There are more Books under 1.2, but they are not visible here. Why?

Confirmed in Book Add to 6. Working on a solution.

This bug seems to be mainly cosmetic (affecting the depth of visible chapters in higher level books), but it also would affect Book subscriptions for those higher level Books such that updates to the invisible chapters are not included in the notifications.

The bug relies on a design flaw in the logic which constructs the parentlist for every Book that is given a parent Book. There is no way to fix this without rewriting the whole class, and then forcing an update on every Book in the database (since the parentlist entry for any book is dependent on accurate parentlist entries for related books). This is a massive undertaking, and something we've already done in the VaultWiki 4 upgrade script. In the interest of time, it will not be back-ported to VaultWiki 3.

VaultWiki 3.0.17? Maybe a few days. Would cover a number of issues solved since December.
VaultWiki 4? When it's ready.

A very rough date for version 4?

I'm asking, because that big with the TOC is a really big one and we hope to rectify it before making the Wiki public. But if it's going to take like 6 months, no point in waiting.

This is something I'd like to see fixed as well, but not if it holds VB4 back any longer.
