Wiki can't be edited... needs approval

[iko]

Indeed, thanks P-A. It's a broken system then. Hope it can be fixed.

new AJ-X group buy wiki

Ay Carumba!!! Jason, the AJ-X PCB group buy I set up is locked for admin approval. Major bummer!

 

[Jason]

Fixed.

I will set up a "hack" that will update the database every minute to strip out these locked accounts. There is also a new (beta) version 3 of the wiki software they want us to try (up from our present version 2), I'll try installing that too.

If anyone knows of quality wiki software that integrates with a vBulletin user database, and preferably does WYSIWYG tables, do let me know (I believe there is presently a total of zero).

 

[Jason]

I'm running a cron job "hack" every minute which should unlock any locked threads. A bit messy but should get us through until vault 3 goes non-beta.

I hate to reopen an old and boring thread but my GB page is now locked for the same reason: Group Buy: Peter Daniels Aleph J-X pcb GroupBuy 3 - diyAudio

If everyone ticks the 'minor edit' tickbox, will this be prevented in the future?

 

[Jason]

You're meant to be able to fix this waiting edit using the history tab, but there are "controls" which are totally nonfunctional in FF and IE. And this is the new version we paid good money to upgrade to... sigh... not even sure how to fix this, I'll add it as a priority to my todo list.

 

[Jason]

Not sure if this is still an issue, apologies for taking so long to get around to fixing it. I am on holiday with very limited internet connection until Jan 5th. I'll catch up on this issue then.

 

[Jason]

I've run a query across the wiki database that should have fixed this problem. Can you please verify? It's editable to a regular user who is not in moderation now. A full review of the wiki system and software alternatives will be happening VERY shortly...

 

[derwhalfisch]

Yes, my page can be edited. Thankyou very much

May I ask again about the moderation in the wikis...?

I understand that members under moderation have this status also when editing a wiki. But do the validation requests of these edits get notified to the moderators?
It seems that they take much longer...

Concrete case: we are working on this


"EMu 0404 modification wiki" and one of the contributors is a guy who's under moderation. When he puts something on the wiki, it stays blocked for several days. In fact, last time I "reported" the guy to attract attention, but I don't want to bother the moderators in this way for each edit...

The posts to the forum don't stay pending all that long.
Does anything still need to be adjusted on the wiki functionality?

Thanks!

Bump?

Is there a way to attract the attention on this issue?
Should just I report a post, again?
