VaultWiki Pre-Defined BB-Codes

**Mokonzi** · March 22, 2009

I'm finding with both 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 that I can't access the BBCodes at all. They don't appear in the CES VaultWiki > Wiki Code Manager list (just the standard codes already existing). They don't appear in the normal BBCode list within the Admin CP.

Am I missing something?

What do you mean by "the standard codes already existing?" Do you mean BOOK, SPECIAL, REDIRECT, etc, or something else?

No, I mean the normal BBCode. I get a list of all the BBCode that's been placed in the normal BBCode manager, nothing more. None of the new codes (Redirect, Book, etc).

As a point that crossed my mind this morning, I do have an anchor code of my own. Could that be causing a problem?

No, but I find it extremely odd that these were not added as I believe you had a fresh install since your database had been corrupted? On all our tests these codes are in BB-Code Manager (and this is a significant part of the installcode for 2.2.0). Did you actually upgrade, after maybe the 2.2.0 did not go smoothly (it was Unstable from 1/30 - 2/6)?

I'm going to provide you with a list of the codes, but was there anything unusual that happened during your install or upgrade that could have contributed to the product skipping a step (an error or server timeout, perhaps)?

The only error I had at all was the rev.ipaddress bug, but I fixed that easy enough, and that was after install when creating a new thread.

Apart from that, nothing was skipped, and all worked fine.

2.2.1 says Unstable at the download link. Even so, this should work. If you are not seeing the Special pages in the drop-down, you need to give your usergroups permission for the pages. Under Usergroup Permissions, look for "Special Page Permissions".

All the permissions in the groups I have enabled are set to yes. Likewise, the ones in the active forums are also set to yes. I would post a screen shot but I don't have attachment or image permission here.

I can post the image elsewhere and link to it if you like.

There must be a caching problem with the nav bar menu. It now shows the entries, but the entries reference reads http://mysite/.php?=.

I have been avoiding reading the code but I really can't figure out what is going on from the symptoms.

On a related issue, will I be able to use your local help here as a basis for my site documentation of the wiki?

**tommythejoat** · March 22, 2009

I decided to try rebuilding all the namespaces even though they are essentially empty. Now the list under the drop down is reduced to Default (List) and Post New Article. This is what it showed yesterday.

Hi, I have (I believe) enabled attachment permissions. Please upload a picture of your Usergroup Permissions for this mod.

Yes, you are free to use any help provided here to create your site's documentation.

**tommythejoat** · March 22, 2009

The permissions section of my Admin CP for Vault Wiki, plus a screen shot and the zip of the generated source.

Okay, I've been able to duplicate this behavior on a fresh install. I think if you actually do the following (rather than simply rebuilding), it corrects this initial behavior:

Open the Namespace Manager.
Next to the Special namespace, click "Edit".
Click "Save".

That had no visible effect on my board. The drop down still has the same two entries. No special and no book.

The non-edit edits I made last night have made the Wiki unusable. If I try to click on any article in any namespace I get an infinite redirect.

**pegasus** · March 23, 2009

First make sure that the "Top-Level" still has "Enable wiki in this forum?" set to "Wiki". Normally when this happens you need to rebuild the namespace in question, although I myself have not seen this message since the 2.0.x betas.

All have wiki enabled in the ces section of Forum Manager.

None of them have wiki headers enabled, if that matters.

All of the forums are identical to this entry.
