[00:17:31] would anyone be willing to help me with a skinning project :D [00:18:00] Is it big? [00:18:10] not really [00:18:19] no moving stuff around, just putting a banner on top and changing colors and such [00:18:31] What sort of banner? [00:18:35] 1 sec [00:18:48] Are we talking advertisement or stuff? [00:18:58] nonono [00:18:58] Shouldn't the logo on the top left be enough to identify the wiki? [00:19:07] http://forums.ffowa.org/images/ffowa/images/dark%20skin%20banner.png [00:19:20] o_O That's a big banned. [00:19:25] i'm trying to make the wiki and the forums match [00:19:41] Does it make sense for the actual content to be 308pixels below from when the page begin? [00:19:55] i know wha ti want :< [00:19:58] A good way of matching quality of websites is the distance from the top to the beginning of content. [00:20:05] I am just saying. [00:20:27] So you want the entire wiki moved down and have this big thing arranged on top of it? [00:20:34] I am sure you have access to the HTML, yes? [00:20:38] yeah [00:20:55] also, would it be possible to image map the links on the banner? [00:20:58] Well, if you are using the Monobook skin, you can edit the Monobook.php file which contains the output. [00:21:09] Absolutely, you are changing the HTML, not some Wikimarkup. [00:21:19] thought so [00:21:28] But be careful, one wrong move, and your skin is broke. [00:21:43] yeah [00:21:47] ok actually question first [00:21:53] www.ffowa.org <--- this is my monobook right now [00:22:08] and we moved default monobook to Main.css [00:22:21] is that going to effect my php file? it shouldn't should it [00:22:34] In addition to that, the user menu, the article tabs and stuff are applied onto with position:absolute. [00:22:36] Uhm, it should not. [00:22:49] Also, I did not know Garfield was part of Final Fantasy. [00:22:52] haha [00:22:57] it's an in-joke [00:24:23] Also, Mediawiki.org has some articles about advance skinning. [00:24:41] You may want to, in order to avoid to screw everything up, to create your own skin and base it on Monobook. [00:24:58] i'll just back it up [00:25:24] modifying monobook (php, css) makes upgrading harder, fyi [00:25:29] ROFL [00:25:35] uhh...you should check the version of our wiki [00:25:57] you laugh now, we'll be laughing later [00:25:57] Tell me about it, Splarka. [00:26:16] *Landlord doubts our wiki will ever be upgraded. [00:26:17] when you come in asking for upgrade support and you've modified your default skins ^_^ [00:26:26] These are the reasons I am holding again with upgrading our wiki. [00:26:49] if possible you should use hooks and site CSS [00:27:16] i'm fine as long as i keep backups of the originals...right? [00:27:27] 1.11? not so old [00:27:34] I found one late last year: 1.4 [00:27:37] scaaary [00:27:49] 1.4 > 1.11 [00:27:50] ... [00:27:55] no [00:27:58] no, 11 > 4 [00:28:00] oh [00:28:02] haha [00:28:19] flyingparchment loves Futurama references. [00:28:22] we've never had this problem before, and now in the last month, everyone who comes here suddenly doesn't know how software versioning works... what's up with that? [00:28:39] that's true, i shoudl have noticed the lack of a second decimal [00:28:58] anyways, whereabouts am i looking to add my banner in the monobook php [00:29:33] For those out of the loop; http://theinfosphere.org/Infosphere#Trivia [00:32:06] atglenn: http://www.thelemapedia.org/index.php/Special:Version [00:33:16] last time i checked openfacts, it was still running 1.2 [00:34:11] I read "TheLamePedia" at first :-P [00:46:13] i've waited long enough to be able to reask my question right? [00:47:04] Sure, why not [00:47:16] 19:29 ( Landlord) � anyways, whereabouts am i looking to add my banner in the monobook php [00:47:18] ^.^ [00:48:23] here are some notes I made for pushing down space for a banner: http://p.defau.lt/?VAUqN14PXH2nfTKiBMj98g [00:49:03] best method, create an extension using a http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks that inserts a
