      Unable to get widgets to show on sidebar of wiki page

      I enabled one of the widgets for the wiki sidebar and it only shows on the main wiki page but not on an actual wiki page:

      https://gameparadise.org/wiki/
      https://gameparadise.org/wiki/?title=Resident-Evil

      I can see that it works here:

      What am I missing?

      I figured this out. I have a new problem with breadcrumbs. The Wiki breadcrumb is not showing nor the area breadcrumb. It goes straight from home to page.

      https://gameparadise.org/wiki/?title=Mario

      It skips the wiki and area. Any idea why? This only happens with this addon. The other area of the site work fine.

      It looks like you've figured that one out as well, since I'm seeing all the breadcrumbs on that page when I visit your site.

      Yes I had disabled public navigation I fixed this. One last thing. I am not able to upload images when creating a wiki page. It only allows me to insert an external URL. How do I enable image uploading?

      Also, some of the widgets are not showing, in particular the similar content widget.

      How do I insert a Table of Contents at the top of the page to allow people to quickly click and scroll to a section of the page?

      Due to some ninja technical differences between wiki and regular content, you cannot upload an image using drag-and-drop or other native solution on the wiki page. Instead you need to create a wikified attachment. You can use the wiki attachment button in the editor toolbar, or alternatively the in the Wiki's public navigation "Upload New File". Once you save it, you can reference the attachment with the wiki's FILE BB-Code.
      We are working to support non-wikified attachments in a future version. It's not a simple drop-in integration.

      I'm assuming the widget permissions are set up and the widget is assigned to the area, since you already have other widgets working.
      Some widgets take context from the wiki page in order to show. If the context doesn't reach the threshold needed for a certain widget, it won't be generated. This varies per widget. For the similar content widget, it takes the title of the wiki page, and generates keywords from that only. It searches the forum for those keywords.

      Table of Contents is automatically generated when using VaultWiki's H BB-Code. If you are using the XenForo tags H3, H4, etc, then you need XenForo 2.3 in order for those tags to work with the wiki TOC. If you have fewer than 4 headings on the page, you can force it with:
      Code:
      [TOC]FORCE[/TOC]
      You can manually place a TOC with:
      [TOC][/TOC]

      Thanks I figured out the TOC from here:

      https://www.vaultwiki.org/demo/Testi...le-of-Contents

      Also I will look into the wikified attachments, for now I am just using external images which is fine. The drag and drop image feature would be a HUGE improvement

      Also just wanted to let you know I love your wiki software and find it to be the easiest and most robust wiki software I have come across. I plan on keeping this for my forum as it is very important to me for Video Game wikis. Keep up the good work

      Ok one more thing I wanted to address. I would prefer it if the wiki areas would remain at the forefront of the page and I will like to get rid of the page description altogether.

      I would like to remove the text area that says "Welcome to the GameParadise.org Wiki!"

      The Wiki Areas should be smack dab in the middle for users to browse around. Can this be done?

      How do I increase the size of the image icon? Also, is there a way to show the Summary of what the page is about below the page title?

      You can hide the description on the wiki index with some CSS like:
      Code:
      .vw-node-root-index > article {
      display: none;
      }
      You can add it to the template vw_additional.less

      You can do it for areas too like:
      Code:
      .vw-node-root-area > article {
      display: none;
      }
      In the future, we plan to have a more robust way to control this.

      As for icon sizes, these are controlled with Style Properties under the group Wiki: Icons. You will see Small Icon Size, Large Icon Size, etc.

      To show the summary below the title, you would need to make a template modification. In template vw_node_shell, find:
      Code:
      {$node.below_extra|raw}
      BEFORE it, add:
      Code:
      <xf:if is="{$node.summary}"><li>{$node.summary|raw}</li></xf:if>

      I added both and it successfully hides on the area page but not the index page:

      https://gameparadise.org/wiki/
      https://gameparadise.org/wiki/?title=Games

      I would like to get rid of it for the index page as well.

      Regarding the icons, I did find this feature, however it is always a square. Is there any way to make the width dynamic for things such as wide box snes games, or rectangular tall ps2 games? It always cuts off the top or side of the image in these cases.

      Nevermind it is gone now. Icons would be nice if they could not always be square.

      Icon dimensions need to be defined in the CSS, so you would need to make custom CSS rules in your vw_additional.less template to handle different sizes and shapes. Due to limitations of CSS icons, it is not possible to make a dynamic width without Javascript. So you would need to define your sizes and shapes. In your vw_additional.less template, you can do this for each area, since the area is available on the icon as a CSS class.
