      Books

      Several questions.

      1) On your default page how do you get the books heading to goto the special:book page instead of to the forum itself?

      since I am really new to Vault and Vbulletin itself my domain is www.rpden.net/forums any example would help.

      2) Is there away to have the special page books, only show the books and not the chapters under it. What I want to design is a wiki book for several campaigns such as
      Savage birthright
      DC Adventures
      Star Wars RPG
      etc and I just want the book names listed so no one has to look down the 40 chapters in each of those books.

      3) Is there a way to have the defualt page show a link for each book. So instead of Books, Categories, etc. I could have the names of the above campaigns on the page each taking you to their book?

      Anyway I have had fun playing with program so far.

      1) See: http://www.vaultwiki.org/manual/Repl...the-Forum-View
      Set the Forum Link to http://www.rpden.net/forums/showwiki.php?title=Special:Books

      2) At the current time, it's not as intuitive as can be, but here's what you need to do:

      If you don't want the chapters to show up as books too, then you should create the chapters in a different forum than your Books forum.

      e.g. Create 'Star Wars RPG Book' in Book forum. Click 'Add New Chapter'. Create 'Chapter 1' in a different forum.

      3) Create a custom wiki page that should be used for the default page. In your custom page have links to each campaign book.

      In AdminCP > Settings > Options > VaultWiki: Server Settings > Replace Wiki Tab with URL, enter the URL of your custom wiki page.

      I tried something like that but the chapter still shows up on the special page under books. I made a sub forum underneath of books and created a chapter there. I guess I need to make it not a sub forum?

      Thanks for all your assistance.

      Correct, you should not make it a sub-forum. Most users create their chapters in the "Default" wiki forum, or in a sub-forum of that.

      We are trying to fix this confusing design issue for the future, but right now it's something everyone has to work with.

      Again thanks for the help, atm I just ended up creating a new home page for the Wiki and added the links myself this bypasses the chapter problem altogether. I also made a sub forum underneath book for each campaign. Which should allow me to set permissions for each campaign which allows me to et a couple of my friends have their own book with permissions set for them only to edit.
