The Logout button is shown even when the 'logout' action is disabled ($conf['disableactions']='logout'). If clicked it shows a “Command disabled: logout” message.

To disable that button I edited vector/main.php (line 666), adding the following condition:

 if (actionOK("logout")) ...

I have a current version dokuwiki site http://wiki.mca.org.tw. I switched from monobook to vector theme and copied a couple of changes from monobook/user to vector/user. I changed screen.css and added logo.png. Both are ignored. They weren't ignored for the monobook theme but are in vector. Is this a bug or am I missing something.

Thanks, dwightjdwightj

The title says what I'd like to do. I have looked in main.php and found the renderBoxes() functions. It uses an array of boxes to render navigation, search box and toolbox in the left side, per default, in that order. I'd like the search box moved to the top, so I thought to look in user/boxes.php to re-order the boxes, but everything is commented out in that file. I don't even find the navigation or search boxes in there. If I could find where the search box is defined the in monobook_boxes array, I would be able to make a change to the renderBoxes() function to show the search box at the top, but I can't figure out what the “xhtml” element is for the search box. - Martin, 19/03/2012

Idea is quite simple - we got a forum and the wiki. For each wiki article we got a forum discussion (at the moment linked at article bottom). Tried a lot - but as i can't program at all found no solution sadly. Is it possible to create a tab, which loads a specified forum thread?? So that i got the article - and when clicking on the discussion tab i see the wrapped forum thread?? Thank for your template Basir 11/28/2011

First thanks for a great template. When i'm logged out (navigation activated) there are to login fields/links shown: one in the navigation bar and one on top. How can i disable them so they don't appear?? Instead i want the login on a deeper Level page (like wiki:join) - so that the normal reader doesn't see that. I want that because in the community it is used for there are a lot of people that think they need to be registered to read - so we got a lot of none used accounts - which we don't want. regars Ted /27.11.2011

If you do not have the Discussion feature and tab enabled, you'll have one tab on the left labeled Article and one tab on the right labeled Read, but they both do the same thing. The Article tab is useful when switching back and forth between the discussion and article, but redundant when there is no Discussion tab. Is it possible to remove the Article tab when the Discussion feature is disabled? — J.C. 2011/10/09

Is it possible to make the Sidebar a bit wider? My Navigation Tree is really large, that makes the Usage really uncomfortable. Oliver 07/10/2011

I created a snippet for /vector/user/screen.css (see ”Customizing” for details): Wider sidebar / more space for left column. Hope that helps — AndreasAndreas

Horb a. N. / Karlsruhe, Germany 2011/12/09 10:24

I just tried this (latest version 2011-12-10 with angua), and whilst it widens the sidebar ok, it des not shrink the main part. So the sidebar overlaps with the main content. I had a look at the screen.css, but couldn't easily see how to fix this. Is there a setting missing in your code snippet linked to above? (Thanks for a great template by the way! ) jonb 22/04/2011

I checked off the “Use User pages” option under the Vector Template Settings, and the namespace is set to ':wiki:user:'. I tried creating wiki:user:<username>, and wiki:user:<username>:start. If I click on the wiki's main icon (top left), I still see the normal home page. – Mark 2011/9/6
A: If user home pages are turned on, the user's name will appear near the upper-right corner of the screen. Click on that name to get to user:[username]. –Ziothzioth
Zioth

Thanks Zioth, now it makes sense that my username in the top-right corner was in red all this time! I didn't realize it was a link to a non-existing page, I thought it was just letting me know which user was logged in. – Mark 2011/12/13

I'm using the Vector and the Taratasy template, in the latter I found a feature I would like to see in the Vector template. User and discussion pages are configured in this way:

user:@USER@:
discussion:@ID@

This gives the opportunity to create user pages as start pages in a namespace for the respective user. In my opinion that would make among other things the acl setup easier. Would it be possible to change the configuration this way?

Thanks for a great template! — Arne PelkaArne

When using the newest version of vector (2011-12-10), my website does not render properly on mobile devices (tested on iPhone). Previous versions rendered the website on mobile devices the same as desktops, but the newest version has everything compressed, with the main body almost having an equal width as the sidebar, which causes the search field to cover up the tabs and run into the logo on the left and the main body of text to run in a very narrow area. This makes viewing my wiki rather difficult on mobile devices. I did a test with an older version of vector and everything looked fine with my current setup. — JC

There seems to be an issue with the language box (Translation plugin is installed) in different browsers:

• Crome 17.0: it is not possible to click on the language name, only on the abbreviation. E.g. “English (en)” ⇒ if the cursor is over “English” it is not recognized as link (only ”(en)”).
• IE 8.0: the languages are only shown as abbreviations, e.g. “en” or “de”. The language name isn't shown.

Probably the two issues are related …

— Reto 2012/03/14 16:46

Same incompatibility is with monobook template. Textarea and constraint messages are not working. This issue is also descibed in Bureaucracy plugin's page. — Ciove 2010/08/18

Hi Ciove, I'll have a look at it. But please be patient, I'm really busy the next 2-3 weeks.
— AndreasAndreas

Horb a. N. / Karlsruhe, Germany 2010/08/21 19:34

Hello Andreas. Thank you for this, take your time, I'm in no hurry.
— Ciove 2010/08/23

Hi Andreas, I've been trying your template with a Wiki I'm currently building and it looks like the work around you put in originally is no longer needed and is in fact breaking rendering in Firefox 3.6 and Opera 11. (though its working in IE 8. With that section in the CSS on and a select list followed by any other element on a bureaucracy form the drop down list is very hard to click as only a tiny area at the top is click able. Turn the work around off and it works fine. Playing arround I cant see any other issues with it turned off but I may have missed something. Thanks for the great template though —Tris 2011/03/25

I installed the WRAP plugin (www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wrap) which appears to work beautifully with the default template. Some features, e.g. columns, do not appear to work with VECTOR though. Is it me and my box or can anybody else confirm this behaviour? (f@lo/15.6.2011)

Can you provide an example link or DokuWiki markup? — AndreasAndreas

Horb a. N. / Karlsruhe, Germany 2011/12/02 22:53

Dear Andreas, when using the latest version of Dokuwiki (2012-01-25 “Angua”) as well as the latest version of the vector template (2011-12-10), there is an JS-error when using the Media-Manager on the sidebar and p.e. deleting a file with it. The intended message which should show up never comes.

I think the following piece of code should be loaded in that case:

<div class="success">Die Datei "test-tube-waving-thumb10926401.jpg" wurde gelöscht.</div>

Firebug puts out the following error (Picture: http://s14.directupload.net/file/d/2810/yxqu5zx9_png.htm):

a.nodeName is undefined

Maybe you have an idea what the error is about, in the meantime I'll also try to fix it, gonna keep you posted.

Thank you in advance for your help and for your work in general. (-;

using some config for InterWiki Links, I found that vector overwrites the Link-Icon with the rule:

div#content a[href^="https://"], .link-https { .... }

— Chris Jung

It would be nice to have a reference in the detail view of an image which gives an overview where a file is used.

The data could be retrieved by:

media_inuse(tpl_img_getTag('IPTC.File.Name',$IMG)

returning an array with pages using this file.

Many thanks!

Some users require to me the possibility of enlarge or restrict the size of sidebar. May it be possible to implement with a javascript function ?

For me the optimum may be a solution with a custom size of sidebar for any user with the size saved on browser cookies. Many thanks !!!

— Alessandro Celli 2012/01/20 14:23

i just integrated bbclone as simple and easy user counter (since it needs no database). It can be integrated into doku.php - but an integration into vector template would be nice (tried - but didn't work for me). It's a nice addition to searchstats plugin. Would be great.

I really like this template but I'm stuck to dokubook template because I need the sitemap on the left to navigate efficiently in the wiki. There are some way to replace the navigation contents with sitemap? — John 2011/06/18 12:15 (GMT)

You may use the Indexmenu plugin for your navigation. — AndreasAndreas

To get the boxes collapsible, like Wikipedia, I use this script (add it to user.js and active the option in the settings):

function ShowHide(panel, imgpath) {
  var pan = document.getElementById('pan_' + panel);
  if (pan.style.display == 'none') {
    pan.style.display = 'block';
    document['img_' + panel].src = imgpath + 'arrow-down.png';
  } else {
    pan.style.display = 'none';
    document['img_' + panel].src = imgpath + 'arrow-right.png';
  }
}

after, in the main.php, I have replaced the _vector_renderBoxes functions, with this:

function _vector_renderBoxes($arr) {
  //is there something useful?
  if (empty($arr) ||
      !is_array($arr)){
      return false; //nope, break operation
  }
  //array to store the created boxes into
  $boxes = array();
  //handle the box data
  $panel_img_path = DOKU_TPL."static/3rd/vector/";
  foreach($arr as $div_id => $contents){
      //basic check
      if (empty($contents) ||
          !is_array($contents) ||
          !isset($contents["xhtml"])){
          continue; //ignore invalid stuff and go on
      }

      $idpanel = hsc($div_id);
      $onclick = "ShowHide('".$idpanel."','".$panel_img_path."');";
      $interim  = "  <div id=\"".$idpanel."\" class=\"portal\" >\n";
      if (isset($contents["headline"])
          && $contents["headline"] !== ""){
          $interim .= '<h5><a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="'.$onclick.'"><img src="'.$panel_img_path."arrow-down.png".'" border="0"  alt="+/-" width="16" height="16" name="img_'.$idpanel.'">';
          $interim .= hsc($contents["headline"])."";
          $interim .= "</a></h5>\n";
      }

      $interim .= "    <div class=\"body\">\n      <div class=\"dokuwiki\">\n" //dokuwiki CSS class needed cause we might have to show rendered page content
           .'<div id="pan_'.$idpanel.'" style="display:block;z-index:2;" >'
                 .$contents["xhtml"]
                 ."\n      </div>\n    </div>\n"
                 ."  </div>";
      $interim .= "</div>\n";
      //store it
      $boxes[] = $interim;
  }
  //show everything created
  if (!empty($boxes)){
      echo  "\n";
      foreach ($boxes as $box){
          echo $box;
      }
      echo  "\n";
  }
  return true;
}

and I have put in the vector/static/3rd/vector folder, two images (arrow-down.png, arrow-right.png); finally, just some little modification to some CSS. See a demo here: http://www.pkuinfo.it

add the following to your user\screen.css

/*------------------ PANEL ----------------*/
div#panel {
	position: absolute;
	top: 160px;
	padding-top: 1em;
	width: 10em;

	}
 
div.portal h5 a{
	color: #444444;
	text-decoration:none;
	background:none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
	}

Both arrows:
arrow-right
arrow down
I also included the handling of the translation part, so they render the same
— Theo 2010/08/23 13:38

also, if i'm not mistaken, in the source code of mediawiki's vector skin, there are two js files that handle the collapse (both the smooth folding and the cookie); CollapsibleNav and CollapsibleTabs
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/Vector/Modules/
I do not (yet) really understand how they could be implemented so they work for Dokuwiki; but both should be possible I believe.. it would look cool anyway
— Theo 2010/08/23 13:45

When a namespace contains the page 'sidebar' an extra box is shown in the sidebar. It respects acl for the sidebar-page.

Add the next code to vector/user/boxes.php — Klap-in 2010/11/11 13:13

if (empty($conf["useacl"]) ||
    auth_quickaclcheck(cleanID(tpl_getConf("vector_navigation_location"))) >= AUTH_READ){ //current user got access?
    //get the rendered content of the defined wiki article to use as custom namespace navigation
    $interim = tpl_include_page(getNS(cleanID(getID())).":sidebar", false);
    if ($interim === "" ||
        $interim === false){
        //creation/edit link if the defined page got no content
        $_vector_boxes["p-nsnavigation"]["xhtml"] = html_wikilink(getNS(cleanID(getID())).":sidebar","sidebar");
    }else{
        //headline
        $_vector_boxes["p-nsnavigation"]["headline"] = "Namespace navigation";
	//the rendered page content
        $_vector_boxes["p-nsnavigation"]["xhtml"] = $interim;
    }
}

Hi! Firstly thank you very much for this template! Its great, but I wanted to add some additional functionality to it:
is it possible to make somehow that after clicking on discussion tab i will see automatically created page with discussion plugin enabled?

Right now, if you link your website to, say your Facebook page, you'd normally get an option to show a graphic from the link to represent the website. But since the logo in the vector template is a background image, it is not acknowledged. Is there a way for the logo to show up in these kinds of links?

Facebook can use metatags: http://davidwalsh.name/facebook-meta-tags

    <meta property="og:image" content="http://site.org/layout/brand.jpg" />
    <meta property="og:title" content="My Wiki | Your content" /> 
    ... also og:url and og:locale

Maybe it would be nicer to implement a user/header file. That should be part of the user extension. Its possible to write the code with JS and DOM manipulation, but thats ugly…

Klap-in added per-namespace boxes. mluigi wrote a sample for collapsable boxes, but it requires editting core code. Here's a sample that:

• Shows sidebars from the current namespace and every parent namespace.
• Collapses all but the most relevant namespace.
• Makes sidebars expandable and collapsable without modifying core code.

Sidebars are wiki pages in namespace:sidebar. Instead of using the heading code built into vector, you have to put an h3 tag (header with four = signs) into your sidebar wiki.

user/screen.css

div#panel div.portal {
        background-image: url(static/3rd/vector/portal-break.png);
        background-position:center bottom;
        background-repeat:no-repeat;
        padding-bottom: 1em;
}
div#panel div.portal div.body {
        background-image: none;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-position: top left;
}
div#panel div.portal h3 {
        margin-left: -15px;
        cursor: default;
}

user/user.js

function vector_showHideBox(panel, imgpath) {
  var pan = document.getElementById(panel);
  if (pan.style.display == 'none') {
    pan.style.display = 'block';
    document.getElementById('img_' + panel).src = imgpath + 'arrow-down.png';
  } else {
    pan.style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById('img_' + panel).src = imgpath + 'arrow-right.png';
  }
}

user/boxes.php

$id = cleanID(getId());
$curPage = getNS($id).':sidebar';
$parts = explode(':', getNS($id));
$ns = '';
$idx=0;
foreach ($parts as $part)
{
        $ns = $ns ? "$ns:$part" : $part;
        $nsPage = "$ns:sidebar";
        showNsBox($_vector_boxes, $nsPage, "p-nszioth$idx", DOKU_TPL."user/", $curPage == $nsPage);
        $idx++;
}
 
function showNsBox(&$boxes, $sidebarPage, $boxname, $panel_img_path, $expand)
{
        global $_vector_boxes;
        global $conf;
 
        if (empty($conf['useacl']) || auth_quickaclcheck($sidebarPage) >= AUTH_READ)
        {
                $pg = tpl_include_page($sidebarPage, false);
                if ($pg)
                {
                        $id = $boxname . '_id';
                        $pg = preg_replace('/<h3([^>]*)>(.+?)<\/h3>/',
                                "<h3$1 onclick=\"vector_showHideBox('$id', '$panel_img_path')\">" .
                                "<img src=\"$panel_img_path" . ($expand ? 'arrow-down.png' : 'arrow-right.png') . "\" border=\"0\"  alt=\"+/-\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" id=\"img_$id\"/>$2</h3>" .
                                "<div id=\"$id\"" . ($expand ? '' : 'style="display:none"') .  ">",
                        $pg) . '</div>';
 
                        $boxes[$boxname]['xhtml'] = $pg;
                }
        }
}

Also put the arrows (you can grab them from any wikipedia page) into the user directory. Call them arrow-right.png and arrow-down.png.

Sample wiki with sidebar:

myns:sidebar

==== My Namespace ====
{{indexmenu>myns#1|js|nons}}

myns:ons:sidebar

==== Other Namespace ====
{{indexmenu>myns:ons#1|js|nons}}

myns:ons:yons:sidebar

==== Yet another Namespace ====
{{indexmenu>myns:ons:yons#1|js|nons}}

If you go to a page in the myns:ons:yons namespace, you'll see a sidebar containing a collapsed “My Namespace” and “Other Namespace,” and an expanded “Yet another Namespace” header with all the pages in :yons listed by title.

Dear Andreas,

I'm currently looking for a possibilty to attach the “talk”/discussion pages to the sitename, like <pagename:talk>. Background is the implementation of ACL for the talk pages, which isn't easy if the discussion pages are put under the namespace “talk:”.

Maybe you have an idea how to implement that without major changes, or any other way to get the ACL into the talk pages.

Kind regards — pmg_koesterpmg_koester

When using the vector template for internal usage, intranet, check your MSIE8!

In the 'compability view options' by default the intranetsite are rendered with compability view, this can result in small errors when rendering for example the translations box in the vector template. Improve your view on the Vector template by disabling this compability view for intranet.

Please help sven52@gmx.de

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Sven,
I've taken the liberty to move this to discussion.
Do you want to create a tab to a static page, or really dynamic like with the talk pages?
If dynamic, you could try this in user/tabs.php

$_vector_tabs_left["ca-idee"]["text"] = $lang["vector_idee"];
$_vector_tabs_left["ca-idee"]["wiki"]  = ":idee:".getID();

If static (again the user/tabs.php)

$_vector_tabs_left["ca-idee"]["text"] = $lang["vector_idee"];
$_vector_tabs_left["ca-idee"]["wiki"]  = ":idee";

Keep in mind you still need to add vector_idee to the lang.php, for example

$lang["vector_idee"] = "Idee";

Emmen, Nederland 2010/11/08 09:33

Many thanks for your help. I´ve tried it, but doesn´t work. Perhaps someone will try it http://www.brainwerk.de/wiki/doku.php

As I stated;

If dynamic, you could try this in user/tabs.php (website\lib\tpl\vector\user\tabs.php)

$_vector_tabs_left["ca-idee"]["text"] = $lang["vector_idee"]; 
$_vector_tabs_left["ca-idee"]["wiki"]  = ":idee:".getID();

Make sure the “ca-idee” is named in a unique way, if you keep it on “ca-talk” or something, it will not work..
If nothing is shown, check if you edited the lang.php. (for example website\lib\tpl\vector\lang\en\lang.php) If there is no language string the tab might not show..
I tested it on my own wiki, and it works for me, so hopefully it will for you as well
Good luck — Theo-KTheo-K

Can we have the tip for

I'm not sue if this is a bug or an intentional design, but the sizes of headlines for this template are different than the default sizes. The sizes of a Level 1 and a Level 2 headline are very close and it is difficult to see much difference between them. — JC

You can always change the headlines in user\screen.css, the following example is how I use it myself, but alter it any way you want, just a matter of testing.

  padding-top: 0.5em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

  font-size: 188%; /** or simply make it bigger, like 200% **/

ps. note that this can also be done in the user\print.css, if you want your prints look like on-screen mark up

The original behaviour is not a bug, it is just like vector for MediaWiki behaves. On a normal wiki, there should only be one <h1> (=first headline of the page) for semantic reasons (this rule also applies to Wikipedia). Therefore the <h2> looks relatively similar. — AndreasAndreas

I've followed the instructions for custom dynamic tabs and they seem to be working fine. However, I want to have the custom tab only visible to users of a certain membergroup in the ACL rather than simply all users or all logged-in users. (The namespace of the dynamic pages is already locked down with ACL, but the tab remains visible for anyone to see and click.) Advice appreciated! — Swan 2010/12/28 10:52

Hello Andreas,

I have a background image that used to repeat-y and filled the whole screen with previous Anteater. But since Rincewind the repeat fill in only a part of the screen in y - just like it is forced to fit in a div which include the globalwraper.

Some of my pages are now showing ugly and I will be very grateful if you can give me an idea on how to fix this.

Please upgrade to version 2011-11-29. The multiple internal links dialog-boxes is a DokuWiki bug (fixed in development version, therefore it will work with the final Angua release). — AndreasAndreas

Horb a. N. / Karlsruhe, Germany 2011/12/02 22:40

The mediamanger popup in the Editor shows the whole wiki-frame, not just the mediamanager parts, as it should.

This is probably due to the hack, that makes dokuwiki render the whole frame when calling the mediamanager – see mediamanager.php, inc_mediamanager.php – which is nice and absolutely fine for the link in the toolbox, but not for the popup in the editor.

Maybe the behaviour of mediamanager.php should depend on a GET option for the display, defaulting to the popup if absent. Something like, say, ?display=inline|popup.

— bjoernXbjoernX

2011/04/27 19:10

Alright, simple fix: in main.php line 500 – reuse the css display=none wizardry .

              //add additional CSS class to hide some elements when
              //we have to show the (not) embedded mediamanager
              if ($vector_action === "mediamanager" &&
-                  !tpl_getConf("vector_mediamanager_embedded")){
+                  (!tpl_getConf("vector_mediamanager_embedded") || $_GET["display"] !== "embedded")){
                  echo "mmanagernotembedded ";
              } ?>skin-vector">

So

http://localhost/dokuwiki/lib/exe/mediamanager.php?ns=wiki&display=embedded

will show the mediamanager embedded, as-a-page.

For the toolbox button conf/boxes ”&display=embedded” needs to be added in line 154:

$_vector_boxes["p-tb"]["xhtml"] .= "        <li id=\"t-upload\"><a href=\"".DOKU_BASE."lib/exe/mediamanager.php?ns=".getNS(getID())."&display=embedded"."\" rel=\"nofollow\">".hsc($lang["vector_toolbxdef_upload"])."</a></li>\n";

Actually I started with a if/else switch in mediamanager.php (with the popup-mediamanger block pasted from the default-template) – which worked fine except for the missing css-styles (100% font size) – before I realized, it's all there already.

Maybe it would even be a cleaner thing not to trick main.php into rendering mediamanger, and handle everything mediamanager in one place. Mediamanger could also be a normal page (or like a macro on page, like the ~~MEDIAMANAGER~~). Also, display=popup could be an (GET) option for all pages. Just an idea. — bjoernXbjoernX

2011/04/27 21:32

> There is a config option since the first release. Have a look at $lang[“vector_mediamanager_embedded”]/“Display mediamanger embedded within the common layout?”. Isn't it sufficient to change the global behavior? Mhh.. I think about your suggestion. — AndreasAndreas

Horb a. N. / Karlsruhe, Germany 2011/05/02 06:19

Mhh… I implemented a comparable solution, but it does not work with MSIE based browsers. They are relaoding the complete mediamanager when clicking on a link within the media tree, therefore they are loosing the additional get parameter. This is sad, cause I don't want to change the general behaviour for alle MSIE users out there — AndreasAndreas

Horb a. N. / Karlsruhe, Germany 2011/05/04 18:50

Hi all. Please upgrade to version 2011-11-29 and DokuWiki Angua RC1 or later. The new media manager gave me the needed features to fix this issue. The media manager popup is working the common way, and the new full screen media manager replaces the embedded option. — AndreasAndreas

I found problem with displaying footnotes - they are shifted of about 160px right and 156px down. Similar behavior I spotted on http://readm3.org/ site. DokuWiki Release 2010-11-07, Vector template version 2010-08-17.

After a short investigation I think, that problem is caused by style setting #bodyContent { position: relative; } in vector/static/3rd/vector/main-ltr.css. I set #bodyContent { position: static; } in vector/user/screen.css file and everything seems good. — Franta 2010/11/17 15:55

Hi Franta. I would not recommend this cause position: static may have several unwanted site effects. Even if the footnotes may work as expected in some other templates, the wrong insutu footnote position is a DokuWiki not a template issue (see Bug 2114), all templates with relative positioning are affected. This bug is fixed in the current DokuWiki 2011-04-22 “Rincewind RC1”. If you update to the newest DokuWiki, the problem should be gone. Therefore you should remove your fix from vector/user/screen.css then . — AndreasAndreas

Everything with vector works fine (very fine indeed!), except for the subscriptions. The tab is displayed after inserting the code into ./user/tabs.php but when it is invoked, the error message:

Failed to handle command: subscribens

is shown. Since the Anteater release, the subscribe syntax has changed according to DokuWiki's changelog, but I can't find the correct way to implement it somehwere in order to manually fix the commands.

Any ideas?

Dear Andreas,

Thank you very much for making Vector plugin available to Dokuwiki community. It works greatly. I have a question. I wonder if it is possible to change the content of navigation side bar depending on the language. I have a webpage on English and Japanese (under en: and ja:). Depending on the language of the main text, I want to switch the content of navigation side bar between English and Japanese. Please refer to the followings.

The new 2011-11-29 release of vector comes with a multilingual navigation for Translation plugin users (cf. 'vector_navigation_translate' option). Just make sure:
1. You got an up2date version of the Translation plugin
2. Users of the existing translation box snippet should edit some source code in /vector/user/boxes.php: just replace the old with the new lines.
Hope that helps . — AndreasAndreas

Opening the mediamanager from the sidemenu entry 'Upload file' is confusing for beginning users of the wiki. There are no clear back-to-your-page options. Maybe you could use here also a popup window. Or open it as a 'contentpage' beneath the side column and add some navigation. — Klap-inKlap-in

I really like the site wide message option, but there are some pages that I do not want it to appear on (for instance, I do not want it to appear on my start page). Could there be a way to disable it on a page-by-page basis? Perhaps a method that is similar to disabling the table of contents: ~~NOTOC~~. It could be something like ~~NOSWM~~.

Sorry, this is not possible right now. A template is no syntax-plugin, therefore I can't create something like a ~~NOTOC~~ macro. But you may control who can see the side wide notice via ACL (simply block the side wide notice for some users). — AndreasAndreas

The breadcrumbs-boxes remain visible on the frontpage although vector_closedwiki is true.

For one, that doesn't make much sense to me, plus: I consider this a small security-risk, because with this anonymous visitors can spider the content/structure of the wiki, that is: find out, which pages exist or not inside (from the colour of the links).

So here's a FIX:

in main.php where it says:

//show breadcrumps if enabled and position = bottom|top 
 if ($conf["breadcrumbs"] == true &&
...

…add the following conditions to the if-statement (borrowed from conf/boxes.php):

if ($conf["breadcrumbs"] == true &&
    ( empty($conf["useacl"]) || //are there any users?
    $loginname !== "" || //user is logged in?
    !tpl_getConf("vector_closedwiki") )
    &&

There are 4 places in the code (top|botton x vector_youarehere_position|youarehere) that can/should be fixed this way. — bjoernXbjoernX

Hi lainme. Try to insert the following into /vector/user/screen.css

/* change list-style-type in sidebar (here: "square" instead of "none") */
div#panel .body .dokuwiki ul {
  list-style-image: none;
  list-style-type: square !important;
}
div#panel .body .dokuwiki ul li {
  overflow: visible !important;
  margin-left: 1.70em !important;
}
/* change list-style-type in table of contents (here: "square" instead of small
   background image) */
#toc__inside ul.toc {
  list-style-type: square !important;
  margin-left: 0.65em !important;
}
#toc__inside ul.toc li {
  background: transparent none !important;
  padding-left: 0;
}

The trick is the overflow property (took me a while to realize this, too). I am going to add this to the CSS hacks listing above if there are no negative side effects.

Horb a. N. / Karlsruhe, Germany 2010/08/21 19:17

This works for every pages except when you search for a word. For some reason, when you search for a word, the the results page still has the footer aligned to the left.

Even though css says it is centered, they indeed align left..

In this template the icons appear after the interwiki links and didn't follow dokuwiki's default with icon before interwiki link. This is because it follows vector for MediaWiki, which displays all link icons on the right side, so the dokuwiki's default behaviour is adapted.

Restoring the behaviour:

• Find the file vector/user/screen.css or create it. (This file is preserved on updates)
• Add the next code block to the end of the file:

  div.dokuwiki a.interwiki {
    background-position: center left;
    padding: 0 0 0 17px;
  }
