This was _so_ confusing to me as a newbie. There are a lot of references to common.js but only a few that explain that you don't create a file in the skins directory, but just create a page in your wiki by that name. So, if your mainpage URL is like this: http://my.wiki.host/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Create a new page with this name: http://my.wiki.host/wiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Common.js Paste the java script into this page. Best reference I found to explain this: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/mediawiki/94365 HTH - Beth -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of rajkumar subbarayan Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 11:19 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Edit option with table icon On 9/4/07, Platonides <Platonides(a)gmail.com> wrote: edit your options" i dont have common.js file in my skin directory (wiki\skins\common). so i created a file common.js with "extra toolbar option" but it is not working common.js file contain only the if statement from the link u gave me help me to resolve thanks for the reply _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
