VaultWiki [Paid] 4.1.7 Patch Level 1

No permission to buy ($15.00)
Hi there

Congrats for this great addon :)
I don't have yet downloaded/installed this one because I need to have some answers to my ... questions ;)
I'll plan to use this addon to build a "how to" platform. Members create threads and when validated, they are converted to wiki pages with special rights.
  • Can I convert a thread to a wiki page ?
  • Can I grant rights to one member for this new page (and modos obviously) ? (not all the member can edit all the pages) ==> Are rights customizable page by page ?
  • Can I add any custom fields ? (and use them in/as sidebar blocks ?)
The final question : is there a way to create multiple wikis on the same install ? (I have the idea to create automatically a wiki per member, as a personal notes book feature)

Thanks a lot

Not currently. This has been requested before, but right now you would have to copy & paste the part of the thread you want as the wiki text.
Can I grant rights to one member for this new page (and modos obviously) ? (not all the member can edit all the pages) ==> Are rights customizable page by page ?
Not currently. This has been requested before, but currently there is no way to set page-level permissions (see #4).
Can I add any custom fields ? (and use them in/as sidebar blocks ?)
You can make custom sidebar blocks using BB-Code. You can also make templates with "fields" that users have to fill in, but it is all BB-Code and text-based.
e.g.
Code:
[template]MyFieldsForSidebar
|title=Sidebar Title
|field1=A custom field
|field2=Another field
[/template]
The template would actually be another page you made with this content:
Code:
[div] position="sidebar" |
[h=3]{{{title}}}[/h]
Field 1: {{{field1}}}
Field 2: {{{field2}}}
[/div]
is there a way to create multiple wikis on the same install ?
You can technically only have 1 wiki, but you can partition it into multiple wiki areas. If you wanted these to be for individual members, you could use the Access Masks feature to give permissions to 1 user at a time. This is similar to your second question, but the user mask applies on an area-basis, rather than 1 page.

Is the Pre Sales forum up and running ?
https://www.vaultwiki.org/xf/index.php?forums/pre-sales-questions.146/
I tried to post but I get this message.

EDIT. I see.

All main queries and concerns should be posted at the main https://www.vaultwiki.org/forums/ site.
At the current time, this https://www.vaultwiki.org/xf/ is used only as a demonstration and for testing of VaultWiki against XenForo.
That must be the reason behind the Xenforo forums not working ... of course ... my main goal was to test how VaultWiki integrates with the Forums :)

Fixed. That must have been a new conflict with XenForo 1.4. Even so, please post any real Pre-Sales questions at the main site, since it might not be read on the demo site.
 
Pity I never managed to get this working once it was ported over from VB and now it seems I cannot find any way of downloading it again to see if it still is an issue on my XF install.
 
If you had a version prior to Gamma 3, earlier versions were removed when Gamma 4 was released. All earlier versions for XenForo contained a security vulnerability. That was about a year ago.

Provided your license was active, you should be able to download any version that was released since that time. Visit the Members tab on the main site, then click Licenses to access your license. There will be a download link there.

When you see the versions available it should tell you whether you have to renew or not to get that version. Chances are you will need to renew if it was that long ago -- you really want to be using the newest release all the time.
 
@pegasus Well I did manage to download the latest version and I gave up on it at this version vaultwiki_4-0-0_Gamma_4_patch_03-18-2014. Am I mistaken but looking at the price now I am sure at the time I paid near to $50 US for this add on
 
Am I supposed to do something at the server level?
You may or may not need to do any server-level configuration, that depends entirely on your DNS and server configurations. Whatever you need to do to get sub.domain.com to resolve to the same as domain.com, you should do that.

In nginx, you would have to add the subdomain to server_name in your site's server block. In cPanel + Apache, you have to "park" the sub-domain on your regular domain's directory.

Under XenForo, VaultWiki doesn't require anything server configuration-wise from you, aside from entering your URL in the settings so it can generate links with the correct URL, and possibly using a tool to regenerate stale wiki links.

Thanks. To be honest, I don't know why this error suddenly started happening today when according the investigation of it and logic it should have been happening every day for the past 2 years. I have never seen it in the demo's logs before a few hours ago. It does not occur for me in the current release package, so it must be something I edited in the demo this week, like:
- upgrading to XenForo 1.4.1 from 1.4.0 beta 2
- upgrading to PHP 7 from PHP 5.6 (and then trying to trigger segfaults every 5 minutes)
- manually editing database entries
- trying and failing to use pthreads on a mostly procedural codebase
- any number of other minor changes I've made
 
@kontrabass

We have wrapped up a MediaWiki importer for inclusion in VaultWiki 4 RC 4 (not public release yet). Starting now, we are offering first month free and free import services during that time to MediaWiki users who would like to help us test the import into VaultWiki. Just PM me with your username on vaultwiki.org so I can activate this access.

This offer expires when the version after RC 4 is released (whether that be RC 5 or gold).
 
It does. Except in the case of vBulletin 5, we always update to the latest release of the forums to maintain compatibility. If there is a breaking change, we notify users and promptly make a new version.
 
As requested :
Front end just seems messy, not sure what it is that seems that way, also it doesn't use the xenforo editor, so it makes that look out of place also.

Also, do you plan on having the administration panel more integrated with xenforo? This is the only add on I've seen that does that, it's a bit odd
