      Tutorial?

      Love VaultWiki - but I'm having a rough go of it.

      Is there a step by step tutorial on how it works?
      You have great documentation, but I still don't understand how everything works together.

      The namespaces just don't make sense to me yet.
      You submit articles in the forum, and then assign them to namespaces?
      The default install has an island, special, contents and other namespaces = how do I use them?
      I don't see them outside of admincp..... (with the exception of the special page).

      How do you remove the vaultwiki picture from the special page and replace it with something else?

      How do you change the default from the special page to a contents list when a user clicks on the Wiki tab?

      If there was a walkthru tutorial that buyers could run thru (and learn everything) - and then they'd delete after and then make their own = that'd be awesome.

      Thanks

      Namespaces are the biggest container in the wiki. Namespaces contain forums, forums contain articles. Articles inherit certain settings from namespaces that forums don't have. If you're not seeing them outside of the AdminCP, the Display Order might be set to 0, or maybe they don't contain any forums. You can check if a namespace has a Top-Level Forum by clicking [Edit].

      You can change the picture by modifying the Wiki Stylevars in AdminCP > VaultWiki > Wiki Style Manager.
      OR
      You can write your own article/contents list and then set the tab URL to point to that via AdminCP > Settings > Options > VaultWiki: Server Settings > Replace Wiki Tab with URL.

      Is there a space or size setting for the image?

      I notice that the VW image is 400x400 and 5k (gif file).

      When I try and change it, it comes back blank unless I make a file that's close to 5k in size - but then it's such a small thumbnail it's useless.

      Is this right?

      The size should not have an effect, except in how long it takes to download and render.
