prsnl10 Template

“prsnl10” is a minimalist template for DokuWiki. It is designed to use DokuWiki as CMS for portfolio websites and other “non-wiki” purposes. The name means “personal template 2010” because it was created for my personal website in 2010.

If you like the template, you might want to donate a few bucks, or get some cool QR Code merchandise. It is a lot of work. Thank you!

The source code of this template is available as Git repository. You may find the text ”How to create an easily maintainable DokuWiki template” useful, too.

See CHECKSUMS.asc for MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 checksums. The file is signed with my GnuPG/PGP key (0x423B2839). You can use gpg --verify ./CHECKSUMS.asc to check/validate it.

Refer to template on how to install and use templates in DokuWiki. For updating, see below.

If you need help:

• Check the FAQ.
• Check the README.
• Use http://search.dokuwiki.org to find useful information.

If you found nothing helpful, ask your question at the DokuWiki forum (preferred) or IRC channel.

If you think you have found a bug or have a useful idea (a.k.a. “feature request”), create an issue on GitHub (preferred), or contact me by mail.

Feel free to submit patches as GitHub pull requests (preferred) or by mail as well. However, please try to respect the DokuWiki coding style as this template follows its rules.

What to do to update your installed prsnl10 template?

1. First of all: Backup your data, especially /lib/tpl/prsnl10.
2. Don't be scared. It is no rocket science.
3. Download the current update from above.
4. Uncompress it and copy it over your current /lib/tpl/prsnl10. This works without problems when you followed the rules described in the README (⇒ the place for *all* user-defined, custom stuff is /lib/tpl/prsnl10/user!) cause previously existing files in this directory are simply not included in the update archive (and therefore it can't overwrite anything of your stuff).
5. Here is a list of files that were removed in recent releases. They do no harm, but you should delete them to keep your installation clean and tidy:
   

   #removed in 2011-11-29
   /css/_mediamanager.css
   /css/basic.css
   /css/content.css
   /css/design.css
   /css/includes.css
   /css/structure.css

The template optionally imports normal wiki pages and shows their content as

• header navigation
• additional footer content (off by default)
• copyright note (off by default, default is the common copyright note by DokuWiki)

This means you can create the page mentioned in the “Please fill this placeholder” message (e.g. ”:wiki:navigation_header”) and its content will be shown instead of the message. All of these placeholders are configurable. Have a look at the DokuWiki admin section:

• Show header navigation?
• If yes, use following wiki page as header navigation:
  […]
• Show copyright notice?
• If yes, use default copyright notice?
• If not default, use following wiki page as copyright notice:
  […]
• Show additional, custom footer content?
• If yes, use following wiki page as additional footer content:
  […]

If you need an example for a header navigation, try the following as content for the page configured at “If yes, use following wiki page as header navigation” (:wiki:header_navigation by default):

[[:start|Home]] / [[:contact|Contact]]

As mentioned above, just edit the page like every other wiki page to change the navigation.

Simply have a look at /lib/tpl/prsnl10/VERSION. This is a textfile containing the version you are using (e.g. 2011-05-02).

See customizing.

The template should be compatible with all modern browsers:

• Firefox ≥ 3
• Opera ≥ 10
• Safari ≥ 4, Chrome ≥ 1 and other newer Webkit based browsers.
• MS Internet Explorer ≥ 7

Please note:

• MS Internet Explorer 6 is also supported in general, there are only some cosmetic issues at the admin menu. These issues do not affect normal wiki pages. The new Media Manager (introduced with DokuWiki 2011-11-10 “Angua RC1”) does not work with IE6.
• I can't test every browser (version) out there. Therefore it does not mean the template does not work if your browser is not listed above. Just try it out if you want to be sure.

Have a look at the README. Everything regarding

• own logo
• own favicon
• own CSS
• own JavaScript
• own Apple Touch Icon (apple-touch-icon.png)

is described there.

For the ones who are never reading READMEs:

• The place for all user-defined, custom stuff is “prsnl10/user”. Reason: this folder will not be touched on updates.
• If you want to replace the default text logo showed in the upper left, simply create a /prsnl10/user/logo.[png|gif|jpg]. The template recognizes the file automatically and will use it instead of the default logo.

…to insert into /prsnl10/user/screen.css (NOT /prsnl10/css/prsnl10_screen.css).¹⁾

Open user/screen.css and insert:

.dokuwiki div#content {
    min-height: 300px !important;
}

Replace 300px with auto to completely remove the min-height (or use any other value fitting your needs). Default is 870px.

Older releases are no longer recommended for usage and are listed for reference only.
