[edit] Introduction

CP Control Panel is basically a CMS Template System.
It uses DPL Forum, Create Box and Input Box as building blocks to create an easy solution to having a uniform look combined with functionality and ease of use with MediaWiki.
CP Control Panel allows you to create a number of different styles of page on your wiki quickly and easily.
It keeps track of the pages you create and generates a Superlist of all pages it produces.
Every page has an optional associated Header that you can create or edit, or you can leave it and allow CP Control Panel to use the default, which you can also edit.
You can make multiple instances of each type of page which you can use for a variety of purposes.
Forum Areas and Comment pages can be placed anywhere in the MAIN NAMESPACE or on any User's Talk page.
The new Organiser System comes with perpetual calendars and recurring events, to-do lists, journals and more.. and you can have multiple Organisers

The page styles available are:

  1. Page Indexer (Forum without replies)
  2. Forum Area (with replies)
  3. Comment Page (up to 10 fields and 2 sigs)
  4. Collapsible Page
  5. Plain Page (with border)
  6. Superlist (Shows a list of all posts, comments, and indexed pages (recent changes at top))
  7. Master Forum (Up to 5 Sections and 9 Forum Areas in each section)
  8. Menu Page with stats (and optional current users (requires extension))
  9. Custom Page Indexer (creates pages with custom layout and passed parameters)
  10. Sandbox
  11. Movie Database
  12. Category Browser
  13. Organiser - Contacts, Event Calendar, To Do List, Daily Schedule, Recurring Events, Journal, Notes, Goals.

Protect ALL the above files once imported

  • Upload the image files (found in the CP.Zip file) to your wiki.

[edit] Background Colour

  • You can change the default background colour globally by editing the Template:CP Background Colour page.
    Replace the FIRST 6 DIGITS on the page with your 6 digit colour code.
  • NOTE: You can now edit the Global Background Colour from the CP Control Panel main page.
  • You can also change the background colour for each page individually by editing the
    Background Colour = {{{CP Background Colour}}} entry on the page.
    Replace the {{{CP Background Colour}}} part with a 6 digit colour code such as 000000 for black (replace the braces as well).

[edit] Headers

  • Every page created from the CP Control Panel Page can have its own Header.
  • If the Header file exists for the page it will be automatically displayed. Otherwise the default header Template:CP Default Header will be displayed.
  • The page name for the Page's Header is Template:PageName/CP Header
  • A link to the Header page for your page is displayed while editing your page beneath the editing box.
  • A link is also displayed while creating the page in the Help section at the top of the page being created.
  • Headers CANNOT contain Horizontal Pipes ( | ). You must build any tables you use in the Header pages with HTML.
  • See the page Template:Example/CP Header for an example header. Make any type of page with CP Control Panel and name it Example to see the Header working.

[edit] Download

  • The CP Control Panel.xml file and the add-on xml files are all contained in the one file and are available for Download in ZIP format.
