WikiPost [Paid] 1.0.4

[TheGroove]

You shouldn't use the wiki post moderator permission for that since, as you could see for yourself, they'll have WikiPost permissions over all other threads.

I'm working on a new release that will allow you to assign the WikiPost from the thread creation page.

Okay, I want to understand how this is designed to work.

If this is the case then what is the purpose of this under "Wiki Post"
"Create wiki post in own thread" (you can see why we assume this means users in the applicable group should have the option to make their own thread into a wiki post as they do on MacRumors)

If that's not how it's designed, then how should it work? I am assuming only a moderator will be able to create or convert a new topic into a wiki?

Appreciate the clarification here because it's pretty confusing.

That permission allows the user to create a WikiPost on any of their existing threads. There's another interesting permission called "Suggest threads to turn into WikiPost" in case you don't want to give your visitors direct permission to create WikiPosts but you'd want to receive suggestions for possible WikiPosts in your forum that would go into the moderation queue.

I even tried this, all on a default test board with no other addons.

I created a new thread, and then clicked on wiki tools, can only "suggest"


You cannot even change your own post into a wiki, only suggest.

The only way to allow users to create or convert to wiki is by allowing moderator permissions. To me, this is fundamentally broken.

Could you please analyze the permissions for the user in the screenshot and post the results here?

I can replicate this problem on both of my sites.

However, when I go to MacRumors it works as I expected it to work on my sites. I am just a regular user there (see Wiki post at the bottom)

So, I think I understand what's going on. Permissions seem to be working fine. The way I see it, you're trying to enable a WikiPost on a thread which you do not own and on a forum in which you do not have WikiPost moderator permissions.

The Registered users group

These permissions are Ok if you want registered users to be able to Edit Any WikiPosts and Create/Disable WikiPosts only on their own threads.

I suspect you were trying to create a WikiPost on a thread you do not own since the following screenshot shows the Like button and, by default, you cannot like your own posts.

So, if you'd want to have the Create WikiPost option on the previous screenshot, you would have to be logged in as "ericgtr12" or as a user with WikiPost administrator permissions (more specifically the "Create WikiPosts on any thread" permission).

Let me know if you're able to configure the permissions on your test board and I'll send you the updated addon.

I also uploaded the newest version of the addon to your test board with the fix to the WikiPost option not appearing when you create a thread.

I have tested this several times with the test user starting the thread as well on both forums.

Okay, it is now working as it should on the test board when posting as the test user in the Registered group with the proper (non-moderator) permission, I see the option as the test user so it looks like you made some changes.

I would like to try this on my production board now (which still isn't working) if you want to send me the code.

Also, thanks for taking so much time to work on this today.

 

[TheGroove]

So you will send me the code that I can use on my production forum?

Great addon, thank you! I'll post a review after we put this in production, but just from testing I can see you deserve far more than 1 star

One request: wiki resource descriptions. We made a lot of tutorials as "resources" and would love to get some collaboration.

Please do. Once he responded he did a great job of supporting it and if I could go back and modify the rating I definitely would. We are now using this without any issues, great addon.

So, like WikiPost but instead of the resource thread, you could edit the resource itself?

Yeah, the ability to wiki the resource description would be great. Just an idear.

it appears this might have a PHP 8 incompatibility? We are testing PHP 8 and get this error when initializing Xenforo:

Have you considered turning this into a "thread type"? I'd make sure XF isn't planning something similar first!

Hi, there is a possibility to enable WiKi default for a forum/category? By the way, I am also using the add-on Advanced Forms.

If yes, then how to do it?
