Create new skin

Wiki for ITS
ITS wiki WNaS@ITS Master/PhD Courses Master Thesis Research Areas

Create new design for a project

following examples in owncloud file CreateNewSkin_setup.docx

• Copy /etc/skins/bif (including BIF*.php) into a new directory, e.g. SAT
• change all BIF into SAT (or project shortcut)
• create namespace (see further down)
• create home page for that namespace, explanation of elements in BasicInternet:How_to_edit
  • wrong: edit /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default and add subdirectory, e.g. sat.unik.no (ask Arild to do)
• create logo sat_logo.png and put it into $IP/skins/common/images

Update custom skin (SAT)

edits in SAT.php

• include the background-image sat_logo.png - 190 x 105 px
• and link http://cwi.unik.no/SAT:Home (!note: no 'wiki' in this link)

edit sat_template.css

• dark blue #060080, Telenor SAT #457ABE, GravidPluss #993365, light Gravid #CD99B2
• line106 sat-header = background: #457ABE;
• line 165 p-logo = background….
• line 610 sat-footer = background ….
• note: header colour in MediaWiki:Hf-nsheader-SAT
• line 99 = h1, h2, h3 { color: #060080; }

note: main.css = p-logo, width: 11em;

Customisation of the wiki

Navbar is defined through MediaWiki:Hf-nsheader-SAT, MediaWiki:Hf-nsheader-GravidPluss, MediaWiki:Hf-nsheader-BasicInternet

• Template:Main_Navbar, Template:BIF_Navbar, Template:GravidPluss_Navbar, Template:GravidAdmin_Navbar

 grep -rnw '.' -e "navbar" 

to identify text in directory

• edit header

 MediaWiki:Hf-nsheader-BasicInternet which includes 
- {{PAGENAME}}, 
- {{BasicInternet Navbar}}
- MediaWiki:Hf-nsfooter-BasicInternet

on MediaWiki:Common.css

• add #bif-p-search, #sat-p-search

edit namespaces.php

# Skins
$wgSkinPerNamespace[NS_BIF] = "bif";
$wgSkinPerNamespace[NS_BIF_TALK] = "bif";

Access control, Extension:Lockdown

1. in extensions.php

 require_once "$IP/extensions/Lockdown/Lockdown.php";
