Problems getting started

**adwolf1** · August 30, 2008

Just installed VaultWiki per the Installing VaultWiki.

I hid the 4 required namespaces (with display=0) and set up a fifth content forum called "Wiki".

When i look at my forum list, it shows up properly as "Namespace Wiki". When I click on the forum, it says "no articles in forum" (which i guess is correct as there is no content yet.), however when I click the "New Thread" button, it says I don't have the proper permissions to post.

I've checked and re-checked the perms on the Wiki forum numerous times, it should be allowing me to post, but isn't... any ideas what to do?

I guess i'm a bit unclear as to the form the URLs are supposed to take as well. It looks like it is using the plain old forum display scripts when i click on the forum (ie, "forumdisplay.php?f=65") ... My assumption was that it was supposed to use the showwiki.php script instead?

Thanks for any help, looking forward to getting started

To clear up any confusion, showwiki.php is used instead of showthread.php. There are some tricks you can do to hide forumdisplay.php, but let's keep it simple for now and just answer your other question.

In order to post in a Wiki forum, a user must also have permission to "Edit Wiki Articles". Please make sure this permission is enabled.

I've set those permissions properly, and even tried posting as the head administrative user for the board -- still its giving me a perms error. Any idea? Am I not accessing the wiki forum properly? When i click on my wiki forum from the main forum list, its still using 'forumdisplay.php?f=65' to bring up the wiki forum -- should it be using showwiki.php instead? Am i missing a hook somewhere in my template?

thanks again
