Monobook Skin

Is it possible to use fontsizer in monobook skin? We do have problems with high display resolution and can't fix it. The font sizes are too small. --lesn October 25, 2006, at 09:34 AM

FontSizer is only working properly in Gemini (own experience) --lesn October 25, 2006, at 09:49 AM

A small detail (and may not even relate to Monobook itself, I don't know) but Firefox renders the frame markup as a one line high box of the correct width, behind the pic, anchored to the bottom. IE renders correctly as a frame around the pic. rframe and lframe work as expected in Fx and IE Des February 25, 2007, at 09:11 AM

• Comment:

I've made some alterations to the skin's stylesheet, so it looks more like the original MediaWiki Monobook. I put them all into a single local.css (download here: monobook_plus.zip). Just extract it and put into pmwiki/pub/css/ dir. If you already have your own local.css there, you can just append the contents of this one to it.

In order to make the search block look more like the MediaWiki one, you should also do the following changes to monobook.tmpl:

22:        <div class='pageleftbody' id='sidesearch'>
23:          <form name='searchform' action='{$ScriptUrl}/$[{$SiteGroup}/Search]'>
24:            <input type='hidden' name='pagename' value='$[{$SiteGroup}/Search]'/>
25:            <a href='{$ScriptUrl}/$[{$SiteGroup}/Search]'>$[Search]</a>:<br/>

change to:

22:        <div class='pageleftbodycaption'>$[Search]</div>
23:        <div class='pageleftbody' id='sidesearch'>
24:          <form name='searchform' action='{$ScriptUrl}/$[{$SiteGroup}/Search]'>
25:            <input type='hidden' name='pagename' value='$[{$SiteGroup}/Search]'/>

Few lines should be also added to config.php in pmwiki/local/:

 $SkinPartFmt['wikititle'] = "{\$Titlespaced} — $WikiTitle";

# Edit page
 if ($action == 'edit') {
   SDVA($InputTags['e_textarea'], array( 'class' => 'edittextarea' ));
   SDVA($InputTags['e_changesummary'], array( 'size' => '125', 'maxlength' => '255' ));
   SDVA($InputTags['e_author'], array( 'size' => '20', 'maxlength' => '30' ));
   SDVA($InputTags['e_savebutton'], array( ':html' => "<input type='submit' style='font-weight:bold;' \$InputFormArgs />", 'value' => XL('Save'), 'class' => 'editbutton' ));
   SDVA($InputTags['e_previewbutton'], array(  'value' => XL('Preview'), 'class' => 'editbutton' ));
   SDVA($InputTags['e_cancelbutton'], array( 'class' => 'editbutton' ));
 }

# Redirect
 $PageRedirectFmt = "<p style='margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-size: 11px; color: #7d7d7d;'>($[Redirected from] <a rel='nofollow' href='{\$PageUrl}?action=edit'>{\$FullName}</a>)</p>\$HTMLVSpace\n";

The Output from 'Print' is always in a serif font
Can this be changed to sans serif?

Daur, edit the following file in your pmWiki Installation: "/pub/skins/print/print.css"

And in the body declaration change "serif" to "sans-serif" or whatever font you prefer.

Save and refresh. All should be good now.
