Wiki - section editing bugs

[peranders]

When you edit a chapter I'll get extra CRLF which messes tables up. A clear bug! You must edit the whole page if you want to be sure of no extra CRLF

Can you explain in a little more detail? We're not running the very latest version of the wiki (CES Vault Wiki) - it might be fixed in the current version, I will try to make time to upgrade it soon.

I have figured out this. I used header 1 plus tables. This messes things up but if I use header 2-6 it works alright but not as clean as Tiki-Wiki.

Jason, this one is going to kill me with the wiki. Please please please update the wiki software or please just turn section editing off globally!

Please note that this bug is NOT just with Headers 2-6 + tables. It happens on any page.

And if people use this seemingly convenient feature, they will corrupt existing pages.

Hi Dave,

It was a real pleasure to speak to you on the phone about the wiki the other day! I'm more than happy to upgrade to the latest (paid) version, if I can find it. As typified by all the junky VB plugins I am loathfully forcing myself to use by current necessity, the plugin seems to have fallen into disrepair. If you have a URL where I can find the current fork of the wiki or where it's currently being maintained, let me know, and I'll arrange the upgrade.

I can't make heads or tails of the current CES website, not that I could ever make heads or tails of it. It always looked like a dogs breakfasat, and has always been one of the absolute worst designed websites I've ever seen. It doesn't bode well for us using software from people who don't have a clue when it comes to UX design. It seems to be some kind of discussion forum for D&D trading cards or something now... They don't even have a link to VaultWiki on their site anymore or even in their forums.

Here's to a day when diyAudio is comprised entirely of well supported, entirely modern, and up to date software components. Only a few months away...

Hi Jason,

It was good talking to you as well.

It looks like VaultWiki is back in active development (I think Cracked Studios sold it to another company that's maintaining it).

Here's the buy it now page: Order VaultWiki - VaultWiki - Wiki for vBulletin Forums, the free (Lite) version is at VaultWiki: A Wiki for your forum - vBulletin.org Forum but it lacks features like books and categories.

However, Dan probably had a customer number or something like that that would get you more info than I can give you for downloads. I don't know if v3.0x is compatible with vB 3.8.x but I'll have a look around.

Note: They offer a first-time installation service but I haven't seen anything about an upgrade service. I'll look into that a bit more for you.

What version of VaultWiki are you using? (It should tell you in the AdminCP near the vault wiki sections or in the 'Products' page of the admincp.

Cheers,
Dave.

Thanks for the link Dave,

We're using 2.5.7 along with a cron script run once a minute to deal with some bug they couldn't work out how to fix

I'm very short on time (going overseas for a week, tomorrow, and rabidly working on everything I need to do before now and then), but I can try to quickly "shotgun" upgrade this before I go. If it doesn't work out, I'll roll it back.

Ok, the Wiki has now been upgraded to the latest and greatest 3.0.2 Premium / Pro version of VaultWiki. Seems to be working fine.

Let me know how you go with the new version.

Jason

Working well so far, thanks Jason!

This one appears to be fixed with the upgrade. You should close the thread.

There is a limitation with it though; you can't include an '=' sign in a heading.

Example:

[H="2"]Heading with a [size="2"]Size 2[/size] Word[/H]

It doesn't like that.
