Initial Setup

Before you can begin using VaultWiki, you will need to configure some of its options so that it knows how to integrate with your forum.

Go to CES VaultWiki > Namespace Manager. In order to avoid confusion going forward, you can think of a Namespace as a group of forums that performs a specific wiki function.

Only the following namespaces require configuration at this time, if you want to use them:

• Template - If you want to use Templates in your wiki (optional)
  
• Help - If you want to create a Help section for your site (optional)
  
• Header - If you want to use Forum Headers (optional)
  
• Book - If you want to use Books (optional)
  
• Default - Contains the main content for your wiki (required)

To begin setting up a namespace, simply click the "Edit" button next to it.

At this time, all you need to do on this page is create forums for the wiki to use. The other settings in the Namespace Manager are discussed more here (Namespace Manager).

To create a forum for the wiki to use, find the drop-down called "Top-Level forum". Select "Create New Forum".

If you already created a Parent Forum you want to use for all your wiki forums, continue. Otherwise, where it asks "When choosing 'Create New Forum' above, should a new Parent Forum be created first?", select "Yes".

Click "Save", and you will now see two more forms. The form called "Create Parent Forum" will be used to create the parent forum for the "Top-Level Forum" created below it.

Note: You are creating new forums. Even though only a few are listed on this page, more settings are available in vBulletin's Forum Manager to tweak them further.

Click "Save" and the namespace should be properly configured.

Visit vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options. Find "VaultWiki: Server Settings". When you are satisfied with their values, you may need to update your .htaccess files.
