Styles per category
by Jean-Marc van Leerdam 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi, Using MW 1.11, is it possible to create CSS that styles a page depending on the category/categories it belongs to? Would that require skin modifications, or just adjustments to LocalSettings.php, or can it be done 'out of the box'? -- Regards, Jean-Marc -- . ___ . @@ // \\ "De Chelonian Mobile" .

Infobox Song template - how do I implement on my wiki?
by Tim Ware 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hello, I'd like to use the Template: Infobox Song, as is used in Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_day_in_the_life but I just can't seem to figure it out. The template begins with: <includeonly>{| class="infobox" style="width: 20em;" |- ! colspan="3" scope="col" style="background: {{Infobox Song/color}};" | "{{{Name}}}" |- | colspan="3" style="text-align: center;" | {{#if: {{{Cover|}}} | [[Image:{{{Cover}}}|{{min|220|{{{Cover size|}}}}}px|{{#ifeq: {{{Border|}}}|yes|border{{!}}}}{{#if: {{{Caption|}}} | {{{Caption}}} | "{{{Name}}}" cover}}]]}} {{#if:{{{Caption|}}} | <div style="font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.4em;">{{{Caption}}}</div> }} and those "!" have some meaning which I can't figure out. But the table that is supposed to be written isn't written correctly, with those "colspan="3" scope="col" etc. remaining outside the <th>. Can anybody help me here? Thanks! .........................................................Tim Ware......................................................... HyperArts .. 201 4th Street, Ste 404 ..

If the system wants to know my sex, I can either say yes or no, if it wants to know my gender I can say male or female ;-) At 12:33 AM 5/18/2009, you wrote: >This system does /not/ want to know my sex.

Extension cite with nice blue backgrounds
by Peter Velan 16 May '09

16 May '09

Hello, I installed the extension cite on our intranet-wiki; works as expected. Now I saw the nice formatting on wikipedia: If one klicks a footnote marker [#], the corresponding footnote is nicely higlighted (light blue background). How could I gain the same effect on our wiki? Greetings, Peter

logo location
by Klaus Becker 16 May '09

16 May '09

Hi, in some older version of MW I specified the location of my logo by: $wgStylePath = "$wgScriptPath/skins"; $wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/common/images/mypicture.png"; (I don't know if the first line is necessary). Now I created a new MW-site with MW 1.14.0, and the same location does not work. what's wrong ? cheers Klaus

Logon security for MW
by Mike Maughan 16 May '09

16 May '09

Morning all, I'd like to set up security on a MW site so that: - the world can see the main page - only logged-on users can go further - users have to be approved before gaining initial access Failing this, all under security, pre-approved and I'll do a separate index page. Is there a straightforward way to do this, please? -- Regards, Mike

Template:reflist on Wikipedia - how do I edit the content
by Tim Ware 16 May '09

16 May '09

I have a client with a product that's on Wikipedia, absinthe, actually. They changed their website but under references there is an incorrect URL to the old site which they want changed. But I have no idea how to find the content that populates that "reflist" template. Does anybody know? Thanks!
