Books

**vimto** · July 12, 2008

I've been trying to create a book on my website and understand the basics:

1: Create a book in the book forum,
2: Create an article in the Wiki forum and add it as a chapter to the book you created earlier.
3: Create further articles and add them as chapters.

but this is where I'm having difficulty....I can't get any of the articles to display as chapters in the book, I've now created 3 articles and linked each one to the book but when I go to the book it only shows the text that i entered into it, no chapters are displayed and I can't get a TOC to show.

Could you please advise me on what I'm doing wrong?

This was a bug (or five). I created an issue for you here: http://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/78/

I've been playing with the wiki on my site today, been customising the css etc and noticed some things with the TOC book command, this is what is basically happening.

I have a book created with 3 chapters, at the top of each article/chapter I added the [ toc ] book [ /toc ] commands which worked fine, it showed the 3 chapters with all the sub headings below each chapter that I created, I navigated through these fine.

Now when I go to a page direct (instead of through the book index) the book contents are gone and have been replaced with the normal TOC, If I click on Index it will still take me to the main index page but if i then follow the table of contents back to the article the nice book toc is still gone.

The only way to view the book with the Book TOC is to edit and save the page again. It does this in Firefox and IE. Once I've visited a page direct and not through the book contents, the Book TOC has been replaced with the default TOC.

hope this makes sense......easier to just go and click on a few links and you'll see what I mean
