gumaxv problems

Post by Spark »

Hey guys really love your skins iv been searching for day for a nice clean readable skin for my site and your gumaxv is perfect. But i have a few problems that i need to sort out before implementing it on my site.

The first thing is the width of the page. Its 928px? Can i somehow change that to 80% i took a quick look through the css but am not really familiar with it or media wiki.

The second thing is that it displays redlinks in blue? and the tool box, search and adsense in the toolbar do not work.

Can someone please give me some advice about correcting these issues?

For some reason the skin dosent use main.css so the wrapper is found in gumax_template.css

Because it dose not use the main.css you have to add this to the gumax_template.css

Code: Select all

/* standard link colors */
a:link { color: #0000FF; } /* normal unvisited links */
a:link:visited { color: #7F007F; } /* visited links */
a:link:active { color: #FF0000; } /* active links */
a:link.new { color: #FF0000; } /* new links */
a:link.interwiki { color: #3366BB; } /* interwiki links */
a:link.external { color: #3366BB; } /* external links */
a:link.stub { color: #772233; } /* hovered links */

The tool box is displayed at the bottom of the page but if you want it in the side bar you need to add this to the GuMaxV.php

Code: Select all

    	
	<!-- personal tools  -->
		<div id="gumax-personal-tools">
			<ul>
	<?php
		//if($this->data['loggedin']==1) {
		if($this->data['notspecialpage']) { ?>
				<li id="t-whatlinkshere"><a href="<?php
				echo htmlspecialchars($this->data['nav_urls']['whatlinkshere']['href'])
				?>"><?php $this->msg('whatlinkshere') ?></a></li>
	<?php
			if( $this->data['nav_urls']['recentchangeslinked'] ) { ?>
				<li id="t-recentchangeslinked"><a href="<?php
				echo htmlspecialchars($this->data['nav_urls']['recentchangeslinked']['href'])
				?>"><?php $this->msg('recentchangeslinked') ?></a></li>
	<?php 		}
		}
		if(isset($this->data['nav_urls']['trackbacklink'])) { ?>
			<li id="t-trackbacklink"><a href="<?php
				echo htmlspecialchars($this->data['nav_urls']['trackbacklink']['href'])
				?>"><?php $this->msg('trackbacklink') ?></a></li>
	<?php 	}
		if($this->data['feeds']) { ?>
			<li id="feedlinks"><?php foreach($this->data['feeds'] as $key => $feed) {
					?><span id="feed-<?php echo htmlspecialchars($key) ?>"><a href="<?php
					echo htmlspecialchars($feed['href']) ?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($feed['text'])?></a>&nbsp;</span>
					<?php } ?></li><?php
		}

		foreach( array('contributions', 'blockip', 'emailuser', 'upload', 'specialpages') as $special ) {

			if($this->data['nav_urls'][$special]) {
				?><li id="t-<?php echo $special ?>"><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->data['nav_urls'][$special]['href'])
				?>"><?php $this->msg($special) ?></a></li>
	<?php		}
		}

		if(!empty($this->data['nav_urls']['print']['href'])) { ?>
				<li id="t-print"><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->data['nav_urls']['print']['href'])
				?>"><?php $this->msg('printableversion') ?></a></li><?php
		}

		if(!empty($this->data['nav_urls']['permalink']['href'])) { ?>
				<li id="t-permalink"><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->data['nav_urls']['permalink']['href'])
				?>"><?php $this->msg('permalink') ?></a></li><?php
		} elseif ($this->data['nav_urls']['permalink']['href'] === '') { ?>
				<li id="t-ispermalink"><?php $this->msg('permalink') ?></li><?php
		}
		//} // if loggedin
		wfRunHooks( 'GuMaxVTemplateToolboxEnd', array( &$this ) ); 
		wfRunHooks( 'SkinTemplateToolboxEnd', array( &$this) );
		?>
			</ul>
		</div>
		<!-- end of personal tools  -->
Just above

Code: Select all

<!-- end of Navigation Menu -->


The Search can be deleted deleted from side bar because its obsolete

And and i couldn't get the adsense extension working so i manually added it to the GuMaxV.php

And thats it looks great now and have implemented it live :D

Thanks for the link color tip... it worked!

However, the search box in the sidebar seems to be working fine with no modification required? What was the issue with your installation?
