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 [COLOR="DimGray"]CES VaultWiki > Namespace Manager[/COLOR]. 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: -
-
[list][*]Template - If you want to use [help="Introduction to Templates"]Templates[/help] in your wiki (optional) -
+
[list][*]Template - If you want to use [book="Introduction to Templates"]Templates[/book] in your wiki (optional) -
[*]Help - If you want to create a Help section for your site (optional)
[*]Header - If you want to use [help]Forum Headers[/help] (optional) -
-
[*]Book - If you want to use [help="Introduction to Books"]Books[/help] (optional) -
+
[*]Book - If you want to use [book="Introduction to Books"]Books[/book] (optional) -
[*]Default - Contains the main content for your wiki (required)[/list] -

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 ([help]Adding and Editing Namespaces[/help]).
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. -

Click "Save" and the namespace should be properly configured.
Visit [COLOR="DimGray"]vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options[/COLOR]. Find "VaultWiki: Server Settings". When you are satisfied with their values, you may need to update your [I].htaccess[/I] files.
