My last post returned a "The message's content type was not explicitly allowed" message - so i am not sure if it came through. Here it is again.
________________________ Hello,
I am new to the list, and have been struggling to understand exactly how mediawiki 1.5 handles skins.
At first i thought that if you modify the monobook.php and main.css files - the changes would immediately be apparent on the website. so i went in and changed those files - and nothing happened. everything still looked exactly as it did.
So then i thought - MEdiawiki has some awesome cacheing - i'll just disable that and then it will work - so i added:
$wgCachePages = false;
to the localsettings file and tried again. nothing. none of the changes i make to the .php or the .css file have any effect on what is displayed.
I searched through the lists and found some references to the MediaWiki:monobook.css page that is supposed to let you modify the look and feel of the whole site. But it is currently blank - i would have expected that page to display the currently used style sheet....
help! am i totally missing something?
