Extension talk:Wikiskin.php
Where can I see a page that uses this extension? --Rob 14:58, 6 Apr 2007 (NZST)
Has anyone an more detailed demo or description for setting up the wikiskin? --User:nope 14.5.2007
- It's still in beta state, but is working ok, just save the code into a file and include the file from your localsettings.php, but make sure your skin article is created first (the name of the article is set in $wgWikiSkin, the default name for the article is WikiSkin). OrganicDesign and our other wikis use it, OrganicDesign:Default-skin is the $wgWikiSkin article on it. We're just using it to replicate the standard monobook layout currently, but it's been developed for use with MW:Extension:Wiklets which is a desktop-like skin where different articles and forms work like windows on a desktop. --Nad 21:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Brilliant! Question: Why did you decide to put the skin variables like {{ACTIONS}} into the global MediaWiki variable namespace instead of using wikiskin-specific tags along the lines of @@ACTIONS@@? Ehartwell 00:07, 11 July 2007 (NZST)
- I want them to be expanded by the wiki-parser as usual, so they need to be either mediawiki variables or parser-functions. --Nad 09:41, 11 July 2007 (NZST)

Installation problems
I downloaded Wikiskin.php from organic.design homepage saying it was version 0.1.7, 2007-07-20 in the php-Sourcecode. In the Wiki I added a page named default-skin and another one named wikiskin. I also added a MediaWiki:Common.css and a MediaWiki:Wikiskin.css in the LocalSettings.php I added;
- <php>require_once( "extensions/Wikiskin/Wikiskin.php");</php>
These were actualy the installation requirements I found in various pages on organic design and so on... When now reloading any page of my wiki after this I get an visibly empty page which html-source-content looks like this;
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" dir="ltr"> ... <!-- Served by localhost in 0.715 secs. --></body></html>
When commenting out the above mentioned line in LocalSettings.php everything look "normal" again besides wikiskin obviously is not running then.
Any suggestions welcome. regards emwede
- What version of MediaWiki are you using? It is possible that the
require_once( "extensions/Wikiskin/Wikiskin.php");is not picking up the script. Is the downloaded text file Wikiskin.php in the subdirectory Wikiskin, which is a subdirectory of extensions in your MediaWiki filesystem? If so are the permissions set correctly so that the webbrowser account can access the directory/file structure?
