      Some problems with trial install

      I'm using vB 4.1.10. Recently did the install latest Lite version 3.0.11. Looks like a good product but having a few issues.
      Got some screen caps of a vanilla skin on our dev server so you more easily see what I'm talking about.

      There are some missing (or unlinked) icon images.
      On the article edit page:

      (URL)/images/buttons/collapse-40b.png
      (URL)/images/buttons/collapse-40b_collapsed.png

      These appear to be a typo as the filename should be collapse_40b...

      The icon in front of the Wiki forum on the Forum page.

      (URL)/icon/vb4_wiki_page_new-48.png
      This seems to be because it's looking in the wrong directory. I tried setting the Wiki images folder StyleVar to vault/images, but that didn't make any difference.

      When I view an article, an expand/collapse icon ((URL)/images/buttons/collapse_40b.png) is oddly at the top right of the page. It expands and collapses the Posting Permissions field which is at the bottom of the page. So that icon is definitely misplaced. I'm using a very vanilla style, so I'm not sure why that's happening.

      Linking directly to a post on the discussion page doesn't seem to work. It ends up looking at the article, even if your post is on the third page of comments. After doing some experiments it appears showwiki.php isn't smart enough to know that if you use the p="post number" attribute that it should be on the discussion page. It works if &do=comments is added to the URL but the post links don't already include that. "Go to first new post" (goto=newpost) seems to kinda work in that it goes to the discussion page and on the correct (I assume) page of the thread, but not the specific post.


      There are a few new BB Codes that I'm not sure do anything.
      [comment]
      [reflist]

      Image resizing doesn't work in the article, though it still seems to work in the discussion.

      Would be great if someone could offer a solution to any of these issues. Thanks in advance.

      vBulletin used to have the collapse images with that different filename. They changed it somewhere between 4.1.8 - 4.1.12, the solution may be to ship the images with VaultWiki, so that it works for users both before and after those versions. Likewise the positioning of some of the collapse buttons might be due to CSS changes, and there is probably not a best way to fix it for all versions of vB. Older versions might be out of luck once we fix the CSS.

      As for the direct-to-post link on the discussion page, I have to check this, but showwiki.php won't ever be smart enough to forward the request based on p= alone, since showwiki.php was designed modular based on do=. The full version has comments on the same do= as the main article, so we never ran into this problem. I will try to find the code that is generating the bad URL and get back to you with a fix.

      [comment] lets you put comments into your post source that you can only see when you are editing the post. This allows you to explain how you have set up the post for other editors so they (or you) don't mess it up in the future.

      [reflist] shows a list that has the content of all the [footnote] tags that were used in the current article. You may have noticed that the FOOTNOTE tag only shows a number like [1]. Well, REFLIST allows you to place the verbose information in your article. Naturally it doesn't have any effect if there were no footnotes.

      Removed all collapse buttons mentioned. If vBulletin ever adds a collapse button system that works consistently as expected (like in vB3), maybe they will come back.

      The stylevar imgdir_vault is missing from the installation files. You might still have a reference to it if you upgraded from the vB3 VaultWiki, or from and older version that still had it. I have added it back to the installation file, so the next update should fix the icons.

      Fixed the issue with do=comments missing from the post-view URL in Lite 3.0.12.

      Much Thanks
      So is there an easy way to upgrade to 3.0.12? Where do I get it? (I only see links to 3.0.11 in vBulletin.org.)

      I had figured I could just put an extra copy of that broken collapse button image in with the alternate name. But I guess I don't mind if it's removed. I only noticed it on that article edit screen. Will the update also fix that misplaced collapse button that shows up on the top right of the screen when viewing an article?


      I've never installed VaultWiki before and imgdir_vault is not listed in my Style Variable Editor, but references to imgdir_vault show up in vw-boxes.css and vw-links.css.

      I got [reflist] to work, it makes a box listing the info put between the [footnote] tags, though it seems to ignore text between it's own tags.

      [comment] doesn't seem to get parsed. It just passes unchanged (BBcode and contents) through to the displayed article.

      I'm evaluating VaultWiki on a dev server before installing it on our site proper. If people actually make good use of it, we will likely upgrade to the full version. We're looking for a wiki solution for FAQ and instruction manual sort of things, where the article is central and comments secondary. But we're also looking for something to provide a member editable summary type post for those super long forum threads so people can be easily caught up in the conversation and don't have to dig for important info that might be lost in the middle of a thread, yet the discussion continues.

      Am I to understand that the full version wouldn't have these issues?
