Hi,
I have just installed the GuMaxVN 2.0 theme on version 1.61 of MediaWiki. The Wiki installation is brand new and has had no other customisation.
When I go into user preferences (Special:Preferences) the text is absolutely tiny. See attached screen shot
I have tried it on FireFox, Chrome 8 and Safari -- all for the Mac
HELP!
Thanks
David
Tiny preferences window!
Re: Tiny preferences window!
I did a little bit of rooting around and it seems to be inheriting a "font-size:0" from the visualClear class in the gumax_template.css
If I remove the font-size from the css, the preferences screen is fixed.
I'm just not sure if this will impact on anything else -- so far I have not found anything but will update here if it does

Hi David, thanks for quick response... I'm just about to looking into it and it does break on new mediawiki... let me try your fix

In the end I had to look at alternative Skins as the one I implemented from you seemed to be missing some of the features of the core skins. The Toolbox, for example, never builds and a look through the PHP suggests it was removed from your skin.
Is there a reason for that?

Nothing is removed...
The toolbar is hidden from non registered users, the suggests was never in any mediawiki skin, I use gumax skin on paulgu.com and it works..........

Re: Tiny preferences window!
This is the code in guMaxVN skin..
If you look in the same section on the Monobook skin, you see code to check for each section and call the functions
I don't see similar code in your skin.
Here is a screen shot of me logged in using your skin -- there are no options under Toolbox
Perhaps I mis-understand how your skin builds the toolbox, but it is not showing when I am logged in
Code: Select all
<!-- Navigation Menu -->
<div id="gumax-p-navigation">
<?php foreach ($this->data['sidebar'] as $bar => $cont) { ?>
<div class='gumax-portlet'>
<h5><?php $out = wfMsg( $bar ); if (wfEmptyMsg($bar, $out)) echo $bar; else echo $out; ?></h5>
<ul>
<?php foreach($cont as $key => $val) { ?>
<li id="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($val['id']) ?>"<?php
if ( $val['active'] ) { ?> class="active" <?php }
?>><a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($val['href']) ?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($val['text']) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<!-- end of Navigation Menu -->
Code: Select all
foreach ($sidebar as $boxName => $cont) {
if ( $boxName == 'SEARCH' ) {
$this->searchBox();
} elseif ( $boxName == 'TOOLBOX' ) {
$this->toolbox();
} elseif ( $boxName == 'LANGUAGES' ) {
$this->languageBox();
} else {
$this->customBox( $boxName, $cont );
}
}

Re: Tiny preferences window!
The toolbar is located on the top-right.
The item in the left-bar is useless, remove them and add your own items.
