VaultWiki: General Settings

This setting group from the vBulletin options will allow the Administrator to change how VaultWiki interacts with the rest of the forum.

Enable Navbar Wiki Menu
VaultWiki inserts a drop-down menu into the Navbar, including quick links to important parts of the wiki.

Some sites may have custom menu systems that conflict with the wiki drop-down menu. In this case, an Administrator can use this setting to disable the default Wiki menu.

If the menu is disabled, you may consider merging the links in the menu into your custom templates.

Enable AJAX Previews of Wiki Articles
If this setting is enabled, hovering the mouse pointer over a link to a wiki page will create a short AJAX preview. A few lines from the target wiki page will appear in a small popup box under the link.

Enable Auto Links to VaultWiki Articles
When posting throughout the forum, users may not consider linking to articles relevant to their discussions. The Auto Link system automatically converts phrases in posts that match existing article titles into links to those articles.

While Auto Links make the article creation process easier in this way as well, wiki editors should make every effort to manually create links. When Link Caching is enabled, this will help VaultWiki to better track links to articles that have not been created, which Auto Links do not consider.

There are three possible values for this setting:

• Disabled
  
• Enabled, in the entire forum
  
• Enabled, only in wiki forums

Keeping track of a high volume of links may become server intensive. If your forum has a lot of posts, you may consider only using Auto Links in wiki forums, or disabling the feature altogether.

Activate Navbits Compression
When this setting is enabled, the Navbits Compressor will remove repetitive text from the breadcrumbs. That is, if two consecutive breadcrumbs contain the same text, the first of the those would be removed. This can be useful if you create an article in a forum of the same name.

Additional Navbits Compressor Phrases
When Navbits Compression is enabled, you can specify certain phrases that will also be removed from the breadcrumbs if they appear more than once.

Consider the breadcrumb: foo bar
And a setting of: bar
The resulting breadcrumb: foo

You can define multiple phrases by placing each phrase on a separate line.
