      Sidebar Manager & Sidebar Permissions

      A manager to house the settings for the existing sidebar blocks (as well as custom blocks in the future).

      I think a separate database table is better than adding a bunch of new global settings that would take up memory on every page for no reason. We can also add the blocks' settings to the datastore and only load it on wiki pages.

      It also allows us to simplify permissions for sidebar blocks since the blocks will have ID numbers.

      Some blocks may be better to keep for certain usergroups only, like editors, while others might be suited for anyone. The Sidebar Manager should have its own Permissions section, which can be customized on a per-area basis.

      Currently working on this. There were some issues with the caching mechanism that slowed this down. Apparently vBulletin has no way to clear Xcache entries for the datastore. Anyway the Manager itself is mainly done, just have to apply the new settings to the parts of blocks they're relevant too, and add the CP action for sidebar permissions.

      Hm... well right now the wiki sidebar is only on wiki pages, and only contains its own blocks. We just added the manager to handle settings if admins want to tweak any of the blocks that come with VaultWiki. Except for coding, as I mentioned in another thread, there's not going to be a way to create custom blocks in the first release.

      I would be curious, aside from a search box, what you have in your custom sidebar that we might consider for a standard block?

      Permissions, minimally tested, but done and appear to be appending correctly to existing permission sets.

      Yeah we already have a block for the 50 latest everything-together. You can set it to show only new pages & edits in the AdminCP.

      Anyway this feature is done, the settings are all applied and the filters are finally working correctly against the feed.
