In extensions/category/special/special_wantedcategories.php, find:

Code:

DISTINCT(title_lower)

Replace with:

Code:

DISTINCT(link.title_lower)

Find:

Code:

COUNT(title_lower)

Replace with:

Code:

COUNT(link.title_lower)

And if you have it, in extensions/xpages/special/special_wantedpages.php, find:

Code:

DISTINCT(title_lower)

Replace with:

Code:

DISTINCT(link.title_lower)

Find:

Code:

COUNT(title_lower)

Replace with:

Code:

COUNT(link.title_lower)

I've just applied the above fixes and received the following error:

Code:

		WHERE namespace = 7
			AND link.targetid = 0
			AND templateusage = 1
			AND protectid IS NULL
		GROUP BY title_lower
		ORDER BY number DESC, title_lower ASC
		LIMIT 0,0;

I'm guessing that the Group clause will have the same result.

Yeah, change the GROUP BY and ORDER BY clauses to:

Code:

GROUP BY link.title_lower ORDER BY number DESC, link.title_lower ASC

I just tried it and I am sure I applied the edits properly and cleared my cache and history and I am still getting the database errors.

Can you just post the 2 fixed php files here since this is the commercial section for members?

Maybe I did something wrong? sniffle

Haha, sometimes it's good to wait for a x.x.1 or x.x.2 before upgrading. A lot of folks are planning to wait several versions when vBulletin 4 comes out, because generally when there's a large version change, it means a lot of things are different and there's more potential for bugs.

If you're not a technical user (which you have mentioned you are not), I recommend this as a rule of thumb.

I'm always pensive when a new build of VaultWiki comes out. While each build fixes a lot of existing bugs, a new build means new bugs. It's a vicious circle.

However, from what I've seen, it seems that you have had more problems (serious problems anyway) upgrading vBulletin than upgrading VaultWiki.

Oh Peg....NOT TECHNICAL is an understatement you are too kind, I am a moron.

I can't handle another bulletin upgrade either, it's just too stressful. After the 3.83 fiasco on my sites (that you fixed) and the fact they are going to charge more even though I have 6 vb licenses all up to date I will be damned if I give them more $$$.

I am staying away from 3.8.4 too though I just tried it on my test site, a storm site.

I have one more issue with the new Wiki, it seems I have lost the chapters PREVIOUS and NEXT

I checked all settings even redid one book http://tvlampforum.com/showwiki.php?...ville+Patterns

What can I do???? the TOC is there but NO navigation of Previous and Next

HELP!!! ahhhh

It looks like you did some kind of moderation on these articles recently (i.e. moved from another forum, merged some threads, etc).

Please let me know what you did to these articles recently (or at all).

I ask this because the article metadata is missing. You may be able to fix this by moving the articles to a non-wiki forum, then moving them back. You will need to add these to the Books again afterwards.

I'll write a tool that recreates corrupt metadata soon, but for now you'll have to use the steps outlined above.

What I did when I realized the PREVIOUS and NEXT wasn't working was... I deleted the book, then created a new book and reinserted some of the Wiki pages for this Roseville Patterns Book.

Also my other books are gone, (I figured I'd start with rebuilding the Roseville Pattern Book first) nothing is all my books since the upgrade.

That's all I've done since the settings are ok.

So you want me to move books to a regular forum then back? Or wiki articles then back? Or both?

Only move the wiki articles that you want inside the Books.

Well I rebuilt your articles and revisions (meaning reset them at 1 per article), but couldn't find any source of the original problem. It was as if someone ran a TRUNCATE command on the article and revision tables. It's also possible that a database crash could have done this, if it occurred while these tables were being written to.

My changes should make the wiki usable again.

While I didn't think of this before, did you receive any unusual database errors during or shortly after upgrading to 2.5.0?
