Darren, thanks for the responses. It turns out one problem, at least, is that I had changed the URL using the recommended configuration shown here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL
This was necessary for reasons too complicated to go into here, but it broke the relative paths to wikibits.js, and all the image files for the toolbar. As a quick fix I changed them to absolute paths. I also removed the DOCTYPE declaration from where it was getting inserted. Now it works for monobook, but still not for nostalgia. I'll check the monobook file against other versions and see if there are any errors in what I downloaded.
Thanks Anthony Zepezauer

Hm, I don't think it's custom - it came with the standard download,
and
it's referenced in LocalSettings.php:
## Default skin: you can change the default skin. Use the
internal
symbolic ## names, ie 'standard', 'nostalgia', 'cologneblue', 'monobook': $wgDefaultSkin = 'nostalgia';
Still no toolbar if I change it to 'monobook' or 'standard' or ''.

Hi all, please excuse what is probably a very simple question.
I'm
new
to both mediawiki and PHP. (I searched the e-mail archives for
an
answer but didn't find one.)
I've installed mediawiki but I'm not getting the toolbar with
bold,
italic, etc. on edit pages (e.g. as shown here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Category:MediaWiki_Introduct
i
on&action=edit).
Firebug shows a JS error 'addButton is not defined'
I see that the JS function addButton lives in
skins/common/wikibits.js,
so I modified the getEditToolbar function in
includes/EditPage.php
like
so:
$toolbar = "<div id='toolbar'>\n"; $toolbar.="<script type='$wgJsMimeType'src='/skins/common/wikibits.js' />"; <==== ADDED THIS LINE $toolbar.="<script type='$wgJsMimeType'>\n/*<![CDATA[*/\n";
This had no effect. Then I tried adding the entire addButton
function
at that same location, but got a parse error.
I suspect I'm going about this all wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Anthony Zepezauer

Using Monobook and the latest Mediawiki should be just fine. Are
you
using a custom skin?

Nostalgia is a official MW Skin. There should not be a DOCTYPE declaration in wikibits.js..
Something tells me that your download was messed up.
