StyleVars Editor Error after VaultWiki Lite Install

Hey Pegasus,

I downloaded VaultWiki Lite today. So far, the system itself works and looks great. However after installing I noticed an unexpected bug. For whatever reason, when VaultWiki created its internal style system, it completely overrode my StyleVars Editor. The only option I have now is related to Vault Wiki. Here's a screen shot

When troubleshooting the problem, I found that deleting VaultWiki from "Products" and deleting the core files from my server was not enough to restore the StyleVars Editor. To fix, I had to update to a new version of vB (or presumably revert to an old version). This fixed the problem, but it came right back when I reinstalled VaultWiki Lite.

I really hope you have a fix for this, as I like the platform. Please let me know if I can provide you with any further information. For the record, I'm currently using vB 4.2.0 Alpha and your most updated version of VaultWiki Lite.

Seems like running the Update Script (Settings>Run Upgrade Script) restores the StyleVars Editor. On that token, when I do so, I lose the ability to automatically point my images to a specific folder (but that's not really a big deal). Weird bug.

This is a bug in vBulletin. In includes/adminfunctions_template.php, find:

Code:

xml_import_stylevar_definitions($parsed_xml['stylevardfns'], 'vbulletin', $master ? -1 : -2);

Should be:

Code:

xml_import_stylevar_definitions($parsed_xml['stylevardfns'], $product, $master ? -1 : -2);

Please report this to vBulletin. It makes it impossible for mods to add their own stylevars via a Style-only XML without erasing vBulletin's stylevars. Every other line in this part of the file references $product correctly.

This happened to me as well. I am unable to run the Upgrade Script, is there any other way to restore the stylevars?

Run the vBulletin upgrade script to the same version you are already on.

Ok, I will try that. I've never had to run the upgrade script. Will it overwrite modifications, products and plugins, or is it a generally smooth process?

Unless it was a major version change (e.g. vB 3, 4, 5), it should not overwrite anything that was added by plugins.
