GuMaxVn breaking the Upload form on MediaWiki versions 1.16+

Post by DJM »

Has anybody tried GuMaxVn on 1.16.0beta? I'm somewhat stuck for what to do at the moment cos GuMaxVn has been my skin for ages now and I upgrade MediaWiki to version 1.16 and the upload form becomes almost totally unusable. I've already sent Paul an email about this. Any suggestions? Pic: http://www.mediafire.com/?dv8ze51z2dvf8q5

I'm having the same issue, both the Upload File and the Preferences Page are unusable.

Hi,

today I updated our MediaWiki to 1.16.0 and also got the same issue as posted above. I'll try to take a closer look, but this will take some time. Maybe Paul got an idea where this issue might come from.

Any help is appreciated

Regards,

Hi,

i investigated the problem and pinned it down to the css-files.

While the solution for the file upload page is very simple, the problem with the pref-page needs more changes to the css-files.

so let me tell you my solution for the file upload page. open the gumax_template.css from the skin directory.

at around line 516 you'll find this:

Code: Select all

* html pre {

	word-wrap: break-word;  /* IE */

}

.visualClear { clear: both; font-size: 0; }



.errorbox, .successbox {

	margin-top: .2em;

	margin-bottom: 1em;
comment out font-size: 0;

it should look like this:

Code: Select all

* html pre {

	word-wrap: break-word;  /* IE */

}

.visualClear { clear: both; /* font-size: 0; */ }



.errorbox, .successbox {

	margin-top: .2em;

	margin-bottom: 1em;
i will post the solution for the settings page at an additional post.

So far....

Ok the solution for the settings page is the same as above. My error was starting first with the settings page. ;)

just comment out the font-size: 0; as posted above. and everything will look fine.

regards

Osik

edit: oh btw: if you'll use firebug (addon for firefox) you'll find the minor changes for the save button your self. i added some css to the gumaxvn for my self. take a closer look to the prefcontrol class and remove comment out the padding-top ;)

Thank you very much Osik for your post! Extremely helpful. This works beautifully for both IE and Firefox but Chrome is still broken.

Hi MGP,

I just tested Firefox on my Ubuntu. I'll check Chrome tomorrow, maybe I will find a solution for Chrome too. Can you confirm that you flushed all caches?

Hi MGP,

i just checked Chrome now, but couldn't see any strange behavior. Please check if you deleted the browsercache. You could try CTLR + SHIFT + R. In most cases this will load the website from the scratch. Otherwise you should take a closer look to Chrome settings. There is a button "Clear browsing data..." that will clear the cache.
