Great, the header hackery I added to my subskin is completely borked in IE. Can't I add a meta tag somewhere or something? This front end stuff is annoying. On Wed, Feb 12, 2014 at 11:03 AM, Andru Vallance wrote: > On 12/02/2014, at 13:00, mediawiki-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org wrote: > > > B

Hi Bill, Many thanks for the update. I'd like to try to replicate what you did, but I'm not sure where to start. Did you use one of the following three tutorials? 1. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning/Vector 2. http://blog.redwerks.org/2012/02/28/mediawiki-subskin-tutorial/ 3. http://

Well, I've made progress. In the original implementation of the custom skin in MW1.16, all of the custom html was added directly to the cloned vector skin code as well as a portion of the styling. Additional styling was added to main-ltr.css. So to just get this done, I copy and pasted only the

Hi Bill, Unfortunately, I think that there is a gap in the public documentation regarding this. I am in the same jam as you. The Redworks tutorial teaches us how to clone a skin to add CSS, but if I remember correctly it does nothing if we want to add actual content such as a custom header, footer

[MediaWiki-l] subskin customizations

2014-01-23 Thread Bill Traynor
In an old vector based skin on a 1.16 version of MW, the skin author added custom html and css directly into the skin.php code to add a custom header above the personal tools links. Where do I put that code in a vector subskin in MW 1.22? Do I add it directly to myskin.php again, or to myskin.ski
