Blogs 2.0 and CES Vault Wiki

After I installed the vBulletin updated blogs to 2.0, I tried to enter a new post. When I did that I got a message telling me:

"This forum is not accepting new posts."

After trying various things to try to fix this, I thought maybe that an add-on was conflicting with the Blogs. When I turned off the Wiki, then the Blogs started working. For some reason, the Blogs won't let you post to them if the Wiki is on.

Any suggestions how to fix this?

Hello Tallen,

You beat me to it. Our tech guys had been struggling with this until someone mentioned an incompatible issue with CES Wiki. If I turn CES Wiki off then the Blog 2.0 works but the we can't post anywhere on the whole forum

I would like to see the "fix" before vBulletin 3.8.0 Gold..., when we will probably face some new issues.

This message on the vBulletin Community forum:

"Your plugin is activating a section of the code that isn't meant to be executed. Tell your product author to not have $postinfo set when you are going to create a new entry." Freddie Bingham

Maybe this will help!?!

That makes a little bit of sense, but we don't have a license to their blog software. Someone will have to PM me login details for FTP and AdminCP to a site with this issue so I can look at this.

Hi Ted,

I finally was able to log in, there seems to be a glitch somewhere.

I sent you a PM regarding access to our system

A question on the side: What's the eta for Wiki 3.0 ?

Yes, for some reason it is only possible to log in if the "Remember me?" box is checked. Maybe this is an issue in vB 3.8 RC2, or one of our mods not being updated for it.

For the wiki, we are hoping for a mid-January release for 2.2.0, which includes domain management and an AdminCP CSS manager.

Sorry, been down with the flu for a few days. Has anything been done with this issue? Or has anyone figured out what to do to have the blogs and the wiki working at the same time?

Thanks.

I don't know if this works as I don't have a blog install to test with. Without testing, this is what I've been able to think of so far. It should only occur when using preview on a new blog or when an error occurs when submitting a new blog.

EDIT: Changes removed because it happens much earlier than I thought.

Okay, I learned that my previously posted changes had no effect. Instead what you have to do is modify VaultWiki's plugin for hook style_fetch.

Use the following code instead of what's there:

PHP Code:

if (function_exists('special_style_fetch')) { special_style_fetch(); // some bs about setting globals by ref if ($pollinfo['pollid']) { $pollid =& $pollinfo['pollid']; } if ($postinfo['postid']) { $postid =& $postinfo['postid']; } if ($threadinfo['threadid']) { $threadid =& $threadinfo['threadid']; } }

Where do I edit this? Is there a paticular template or style sheet?

AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager.

Once I am in the plugin manager, what do I do?

In the section with heading "CES VaultWiki," find the plugin with Hook Location "style_fetch" and click the Edit link.

OK, seems to have worked, I finally freed some time up to change this. Thanks for your help Peg. Do you mind if I post this on the vBulletin site? I started a thread over there before I knew that the problem was in the code of the plug in.

You can post this particular fix code without worry. It doesn't reveal anything about the internals of VaultWiki.
