bootstrapmediawiki's Issues

Header menu color

I know i'm going to kick myself when you respond... I'd like to change the color of the header menu but for the life of me can't seem to find the css element. Could you give me a quick point to the right element?

missing skin.json error with MediaWiki 1.26

When you're doing:
php maintenance/update.php

Then the PHP is shouting:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message '/var/www/wiki/skins/bootstrap-mediawiki/skin.json does not exist!' in /var/www/wiki/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php:106

Any ideas how to create that file?

TOC sidebar?

This may be far more complicated than you want to do for a free skin and I completely understand if that is the case.

Would it be possible to have a left sidebar that shows the table of contents without a menu button?

The Twenty Ten skin supposedly has this, but I haven't tested that one yet since it hasn't been updated in a long time.

Or, if it's easier, can I move the TOC menu from its current location to the fixed top menu?

.gitmodules

don't you need to include .gitmodules with submodules info?
can't pull them automatically.

Demo?

is there any demo for this template?

Mobile External Links

If the click External link, External link not be moved in.(mobile environments)

Support standard skins-specific js/css customizations from the Mediawiki namespace

For almost all skins, Mediawiki:Skinname.css and Mediawiki:skinname.js customization are automatically loaded, instead of having to customize through the filesystem.

Please load them from there by default as every other skin already does.

Toolbox

Excellent port of the twitter bootstrap version.
One question where is the toolbox portlet?

Custom CSS page isn't working

I have $wgSiteCSS = 'bootstrap-mediawiki/custom.css'; in LocalSettings, but my changes added there never seem to show up. Did I miss a step with this?

Support for VisualEditor

Please add support for the VisualEditor extension.

Release tags

Hello,

It would be easier to manage updates if you could tag releases on Github

External Links

target="_blank" is not added to menu items when $wgExternalLinkTarget is set.

see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgExternalLinkTarget

the effect of which is to open external links in a new tab

Login page won't show up and menus are always open

I've I want to log in there's only a blank page shown.

Additionally all menus in the TitleBar are ('Tools', 'Pages' and 'User') are always opened and can't be hidden. Menus which are created in the Subnav can be shown and hidden like it should be.

Bootstrap:TitleBar breaks site

Content disappears, only menu bar shows at the top, and no links work.

:( A pity because this really is a nice skin.

Bootstrap:SubNav

This appears to be the gray bar below the top nav. However, when I modify Bootstra:SubNav the menu content doesn't show up. When I collapse the page, a dropdown menu appears in that menu, but it only has a check mark in it, no content.

I'm not as concerned about putting anything in the menu since I don't have much use for it, but I would like to figure out how to hide the dropdown. I tried a few class/id combos and didn't manage to figure it out.

Thanks.

Menubuttons not working

Thanks in advance

Can I use this with Bootswatch?

Very nice theme! Is it possible that I can simply throw any Bootswatch theme (http://bootswatch.com) into it? XD

TOC sometimes not appearing

Don't know if it's a bootstrap-mediawiki problem or if i am just doing some bad markup. I have some articles that have various sub-headings but the TOC don't display.

Anyone has an idea what could cause that problem? (Javascript Console doesn't display any issues.)

Thanks for any advice.

How can i see if Bootstrap:Subnav work good ?

Hi all user

Bootstrap:Subnav

page create, but, after ?

I can't found this visuel. Please, can you say me where i can see this ?

I use media wiki 1.26

composer.json

Hello,

It would be nice to have a composer.json file so the skin can be installed with Composer.

Enabling skin?

Do I need to include bootstrapmediawiki.php in order to enable this skin?

Translation HOME and TOOLS in French - mediawiki 1.26

Hi,

I test this skin, i like it.

I have a problem : HOME and TOOLS in english and i need french language.

Have you a idea ?

Thank you.

Having trouble with latest mediawiki version 1.27.0

@borkweb I am trying to install the theme with the latest version of MediaWiki 1.27.0 but giving lot of error. You might need to update deprecated / replaced functions in your theme.

For example, as I know LocalSettings.php include has been changed for theme and extensions. wfMsg error etc.

Can you please update your theme so I can use it?

Template

Hi
I want to know how using custom template.
like this wiki:
http://www.outcastodyssey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Alexander
but EotL Wiki can't editable.. i don't know mediawiki well

Update Readme To Include Supported Mediawiki versions

This is only supported by old versions of mediawiki.

Can't add additional links to toolbar

I originally had links to the Formatting and User Manual MediaWiki pages. I don't have this with your template. I added them to the Bootstrap:TitlePage, which your ReadMe seems to indicate is the right place, but doesn't seem to show up anywhere.

Warning: OutputPage::getModuleStyles

Warning: OutputPage::getModuleStyles: style module should define its position explicitly: skins.bootstrapmediawiki ResourceLoaderFileModule [Called from OutputPage::getModuleStyles in C:\wamp\www\mediawiki-1.26.0\includes\OutputPage.php at line 621] in C:\wamp\www\mediawiki-1.26.0\includes\debug\MWDebug.php on line 300

TOC Dropdown does not close on click away.

When clicking open a Table of Contents menu, clicking away from it, or one of the items contained does not close the menu.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SkinTemplate in

When I set the theme to Default it is giving error on Login Page. Most of other pages working fine.

Error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SkinTemplate in D:\xampp\mywiki\includes\SkinTemplate.php on line 1270

If I set any other skin than it is working fine (e.g. vector)

Images are not responsive

If i use big image in the article, they overlap the container

Furthermore, images are not responsive at all

Try it by adding 1200px or more wide image into the article

Adding this to the css should fix it

/* Images should be responsive */
img {
max-width:100%;
height:auto;
}

includes/SkinTemplate.php require not needed

hi,
looks like that newer version of mediawiki don't need skins to require SkinTemplate. I'll actually fail to require the file because it isn't there anymore.

thanks,
filippo

Theme not showing up when logged out

I was able to get the theme to show up while logged in, but when logged out it just shows the default. I might have had the LocalSettings.php entry wrong though. What is the proper way to call the theme as the active theme for everyone?

(Thanks for knocking out those other two items so fast! Amazing turn around.)

support bootstrap 3.0

will this be made available with bootstrap 3.0?

Impossible to use this skin

Hi,

I got the skin from github and I tried hard to install it, but mediawiki is not able to use it (see picture attached).

My LocalSettings.php file looks fine

...
## Default skin: you can change the default skin. Use the internal symbolic
## names, ie 'vector', 'monobook': 
$wgDefaultSkin = "bootstrap-mediawiki";

# End of automatically generated settings.
# Add more configuration options below.

require_once "$IP/skins/Vector/Vector.php";
require_once "$IP/skins/bootstrap-mediawiki/bootstrap-mediawiki.php";
...

(I also tried with "bootstrapmediawiki", but I had a blank page).

Do you have any suggestion/idea to identify this problem ? Does this problem may come from your skin ?

I am using the last version of mediawiki (1.24alpha (6a826fd))

EDIT 1 : I only have this problem with this skin, all the others I tried work fine

Hiding menu items from anonymous users

Any tips on hiding the default Tools menu and my custom "MediaWiki" menu that just has links to manual pages from anonymous users?

I figured out how to restrict access to the pages in Tools, but would prefer to hide the links entirely.

No Navigation

Hi !

I am using this great theme with a clean Mediawiki 1.26.3 installation. My problem is, i can't see the navigation (side)bar and if i try to find it, there are no entries in my page sourcecode. Is there a big change in 1.26 ? Is it possible to fix the problem ?

TOC(position is not OK)

When I click a title(TOC), the content allways be a little down.
Like this:
http://eotl.borkweb.com/view/Forester_Guild#Directions
When I click Directions

It should be there.

TOC (Contents) doesn't open

Hello,
Windows 7 x64, with IE 11 or Firefox 25
Serveur: Ubuntu Srv 12.04, with Mediawiki 1.21.3
When I click on Contents (TOC), nothing append.

The link (when I put the mouse over the Contents link) is:
http://server/sites/mediawiki002/index.php?title=Test#
and I have 3 titles in the page:
== Title 1 ==
== Title 2 ==
== Title 3 ==

Ideas ?

Switch bootstrap and Font Awesome to git submodules.

I changed my installation of this skin to include the sub modules and I haven't seen any issue so far. Are you worried about the skin breaking with newer versions of bootstrap and Font Awesome? You can specify certain major releases/tags when adding them as modules to ensure no game changing updates in new releases are included.

TOC in subnav?

Is this possible? Thanks

Bootstrap:Footer

Need a little help adding the footer. Don't know too much about php. Where should I place the template?

wikieditor not showing

MediaWiki = 1.26.2
PHP = 5.6
Ive just installed the extension WikiEditor and bootstrap-mediawiki skin.
When I edit a page in my wiki, the WikiEditor toolbar doesn't show.(The first show once)
I've installed another skin(vector). And I try again.
In other skin it appears normal.

Skin customisation for beginners

I have installed Mediawiki version 1.28.0 and followed the instructions for the installation. The default skin 'Vector' and the bootstrap skin 'chameleon' are working, but not the bootstrapmediawiki skin. What I get is

No possibility to log in, search, create a page, or anything.
Are there other configurations that need to be done?

License

Please add a license to the project.

TOC isn't moved to sidebar

First, I'd like to say great work!

The only thing I haven't been able to customize is moving the TOC to the sidebar. I did define the variable in the LocalSettings.php, but no luck. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

$wgLogo not showing

I have $wgLogo set in LocalSettings.php, however it doesn't show up with this theme. Do I need to modify something to get it to show up at the top of my page?

Gadgets?

Hi there,

is this skin influencing the use of Gadgets like HotCat? The <div class="catlinks"> is not updated via Javascript using your skin. With other skins, this gadget works well.

Thanks for this great looking skin and your support!

Cheers,
Poikilotherm

mw-headline span in h2 is hiding links

Hey guys,
I just noticed the following bug in Firefox 31 and Chrome 33 (both on Linux), as you can see in the screenshot:

The green area is caused by padding-top:128px and thus rendering the links useless. Actually, I don't really understand why there is a padding-top:128px and a margin-top:-128px...?

Contents: Anchors are hidden under menu bar.

For large wiki pages using the Table of Contents dropdown, the links bring the user to an anchored position that is hidden by the upper menu.
