A MediaWiki skin based on Bootstrap 4.
-
Download and place the file(s) in a directory called Write in your
skins/
folder. -
Add the following code at the bottom of your
LocalSettings.php
:wfLoadSkin( 'Write' );
-
Done - Navigate to
Special:Version
on your wiki to verify that the skin is successfully installed.
It is possible to set the color theme by inserting $wgWriteColor
to your
LocalSettings.php
:
$wgWriteColor = '#FF0000';
Possible values are either hex values of HTML colors, or named values as used in CSS.
$wgWriteColor = 'blue';
Default value is #3366cc
as used in Qiuwen Baike.
By default, the site logo is not shown at all. But if you want to show your logo with this skin, you can place it:
- in the upper main bar next to the site title,
- in the sidebar as usual in other skins like Monobook, Vector.
You just have to set $wgWriteShowLogo
in your LocalSettings.php
:
$wgWriteShowLogo = 'main'; // for a small logo (28×28 px) in the main bar
$wgWriteShowLogo = 'sidebar'; // for big logo in the sidebar
But don't forget to set the logo path at $wgLogo
!
The default value is 'none'
.
Additionaly, if you have $wgWriteShowLogo = 'main';
, you can specify these:
// use only logo without text (i.e. without site name)
$wgWriteUseLogoWithoutText = true;
Note that this skin is responsive by default, i.e. it fits the screen both on
desktops and on mobile screens. If you need unresponsive design, just set in
LocalSettings.php
:
$wgWriteResponsive = false;
You can set the content width with $wgWriteContentWidth
, which has four
options:
default
full
narrow
wide
At large screens, the main content container (with articles, texts, etc.) is 9/12 of the screen width and sidebar menu takes 2/12 of the screen width. It means that 1/12 of the screen width on the right side remains white. This is the default and looks good.
But there can be cases when you need your wiki to extend to the full width of
the screen even on the large screens. Then you can use $wgWriteContentWidth
variable in your LocalSettings.php
and set that to full
:
$wgWriteContentWidth = 'full';
Then the main content container will take 10/12 of the screen width (and 2/12 remain for the sidebar menu).
If you want a narrow main content (i.e. 8/12 for the main content, 2/12 for
the sidebar on the left and 2/12 for the white space on the right), use
narrow
:
$wgWriteContentWidth = 'narrow';
If you need a wide main content with a narrow left sidebar, use wide
. Then
the sidebar will be 1/12 and the main content 10/12:
$wgWriteContentWidth = 'wide';
Every user is able to change the default font size in their user settings. It's
found in Special:Preferences
under the skin preferences.
