[Mediawiki-l] adding a header and footer to the screen

[Coombes, Andrew]

How come you get to do wiki on smart cars and I end up with a drawing package?  There's no justice ;-)

That did the job perfectly thanks Joshua

You can change this in stylesheets: wiki/skins/monobook/main.css

Yours looks like this:

#p-cactions {
    position:absolute;
    top: 1.3em;
    left: 11.5em;
    margin: 0;
    white-space:nowrap;
    width: 76%;
    line-height: 1.1em;
    overflow: visible;
    background: none;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    padding-left: 1em;
    list-style: none;
    font-size: 95%;
}


Mine is like this:

#p-cactions {
    position: relative;
    left: 13.3em;
    margin: 0;
    white-space:nowrap;
    width: 75%;
    line-height: 1.1em;
    overflow: invisible;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    padding-left: 1em;
    list-style: inline;
    font-size: 75%;
}

The important part is:
    position:absolute;   <----locates absolute (relative to screen) or
relative (located in a table cell or div, etc..)
    top: 1.3em;    <----distance from top of screen if absolute or top
of cell if relative
    left: 11.5em;  <---distance from left of screen if absolute or left
of cell if relative.

My skin is still under construction.

Thanks Rowan,  works well.  See http://andrewcoombes.name/wiki for
result.  If it views OK without linking to our intranet then you will
see that our corporate header is in the right place, and the main body
of the page has moved down to accommodate it - but the tags with
"Article", "Discussion", "Edit", "History", etc. remain the same place,
now obscuring part of the header.  I can't find where to move these -
anyone help?

Unfortunately if I can't display the header and footer I can't use the
Wiki on the intranet !!

Regards,

Andrew
