More info:

To recap, my infoboxes are all displaying to the left, when they should be at the righthand side of the page, and they don't have the right formatting, including borders, shading, etc.

Is the problem fixable with tidy? I made sure I had the freebsd php5-tidy port installed, and I set up a sample tidy configuration file. So now I have these lines in my LocalSettings.php:

$wgUserHtml = true;

$wgUseTidy = true; $wgAlwaysUseTidy = true; $wgTidyBin = '/usr/local/bin/tidy'; $wgTidyConf = '/usr/local/lib/php/default.tcfg'; $wgTidyOpts = ''; $wgTidyInternal = function_exists( 'tidy_load_config' );

I have this line in my php.ini file:

tidy.default_config = /usr/local/lib/php/default.tcfg

and I have this line in my php extensions.ini file:

extension=tidy.so

Help appreciated. I'm running mediawiki 1.8.1, php 5, mysql 4.0.24, and FreeBSD 5.4

Hi,

I have ParserFunctions.php and Expr.php installed, with these lines in my LocalSettings.php :

wgUseTidy=true;

require_once( "$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php" );

Any suggestions?

Most likely the template references a custom CSS style class which is defined on the editable global stylesheets of the wiki you took the template from.

Check MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Monobook.css from that wiki.
