Empty Article

I have two namespaces, with one set as default.

I upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.5.0, and my two articles in the non-default namespace are empty, and seem to be trying to point to the default namespace.

The article title appears in the correct forum/namespace, but clicking on it displays the header from the default namespace, although the URL shows the non-default namespace.

My forum navigation "breadcrumb" displays the correct (non-default) forum name.

Creating the article in the default namespace will work, but moving it to the correct forum displays a blank article again (no errors during the move).

This sounds familiar, so I believe this has been reported before. If you downloaded the new patch on Monday or Tuesday, I would first try downloading it again and just replacing all the files.

Thanks, Pegasus. I forget when I downloaded it, but I will do that and let you know.

I replaced the files with ones downloaded today, and this is still happening.

I deleted the non-default namespace and recreated it, with no luck. I did use the old namespace names, but I'm not sure if that would make a difference?

What do your URLs look like? It would be good if I could view your forum and be able to see both namespaces to compare myself. If you have changed your URLs back to using + for spaces, try AdminCP -> CES VaultWiki -> Wiki URL Manager -> Rebuild Page URLs.

Here is an example of the a URL from the default namespace:
http://www.graceofthevalar.com//show...+of+Khazad-dum

Here is a URL from the non-default namespace:
http://www.graceofthevalar.com//show...inship+Charter

Although the header in the non-default shows:
Official Strategies Strategies Approved & Published by the Raid Committee
Header for Official Strategies

And the Article Title shows:
Charter and Policies:Kinship Charter

If I delete the non-default namespace, it converts the existing forum into an Island, which displays the threads correctly, with the correct URL and Header.

The Island URL is:
http://www.graceofthevalar.com//show...itle=Island:18

The Article title is:
Island:Kinship Charter

This happens for namespaces with & or + in the title when URLs use + for spaces.

In vault/special_class_wiki.php, find:

Code:

default: break;

Replace with:

Code:

default: $badchars['+'] = '+'; break;

I applied that fix, but it didn't seem to help.

My forum name (and old namespace name) had a & in it. Should I change the above fix to include a & ?

I did recreate the namespace to say "Charter and Policies" (instead of Charter & Policies), but my forum name still contains that &.

In vault/special_plugins.php, find:

Code:

		if (
			in_array($titlebits[0], $vault->namespaces_lower) AND
			$titlebits[0] != $titlecache
		)
		{
			$forumcache = $titlebits[0];
			$titlecache = $titlebits[1];

			$new_hook_namespace = array_search($forumcache, $vault->namespaces_lower);

Replace with:

Code:

		if ($vbulletin->options['vault_spaces'] == 0)
		{
			$space = str_replace(' ', '+', $titlebits[0]);
		}
		else
		{
			$space = $titlebits[0];
		}

		if (
			in_array($space, $vault->namespaces_lower) AND
			$titlebits[0] != $titlecache
		)
		{
			$titlecache = $titlebits[1];

			$new_hook_namespace = array_search($space, $vault->namespaces_lower);
			$forumcache = $titlebits[0];

In vault/special_class_wiki.php, find:

Code:

			$special_title = $this->namespaces_lower[SPECIAL_SPACE];

			if (strtolower($uri_parts[0]) == $special_title)
			{

Replace with:

Code:

			$special_title = $this->namespaces_lower[SPECIAL_SPACE];

			if ($vbulletin->options['vault_spaces'] == 0)
			{
				$uri_parts[0] = str_replace(' ', '+', $uri_parts[0]);

				if ($vbulletin->options['vault_spaces'] == 0)

I'm not sure if it is related or not, but the articles are not ediable, even with correct permissions. They display both the delete and undelete tabs?

This means that someone has deleted these particular articles. You will need to use the undelete tab.

Oops, I should clarify that what I use the Undelete tab, it tries to restore it to the default namespace, and not the current (non-default) one.

It seems to me that the undelete tab does absolutely nothing - it submits to a form processor that doesn't exist. In template vault_inlinemod_undelete, find (x2):

Code:

undeletethreads

Replace with:

Code:

undeletethread

I receive an "Invalid Action Specified".

My new URL is:
http://www.graceofthevalar.com/inlin...threadids=3870

Also, when viewing the Undelete tab, it tells me that it will Restore it to a different namespace than where it currently is.
