Help with custom CSS extension
Hi I am not sure how to use a custom CSS extension as described at https://tweeki.thai-land.at/wiki/How-Tos.

I have done the following: $wgResourceModules['x.MYEXTENSION.styles'] = array( 'styles' => array( 'screen.css' => array( 'media' => 'screen' ) ), 'localBasePath' => __DIR__,  'remoteExtPath' => 'MYEXTENSION', ); $wgTweekiSkinCustomCSS[] = 'x.MYEXTENSION.styles'; wgLoadExtension( 'MYEXTENSION' ); I would then want to add my custom css in the screen.css file and have it change the styling of the wiki... What am I doing wrong?
 * 1) Create MYEXTENSION directory under extensions/ folder
 * 2) Added extension.json file in MYEXTENSION directory, with following content:
 * 1) create screen.css file in MYEXTENSION directory (I assumed that's what the screen.css refers to in the code in extension.json file?)
 * 2) Tried adding the following to LocalSettings.php: (Adding this line breaks the wiki completely and it doesn't even load anymore, so probably not right)

Any help is appreciated :)

 * Hi Sonja. Sorry for the confusing description in Tweeki's documentation. It was referring to the old way of doing things (before we used extension.json). I updated it but I fear it's still not detailed enough if you don't have much experience with writing your own extensions. Therefore I would recommend you to simply use, it's the easiest way to add custom CSS.

not compatible with Extenions:HeaderTabs
Unfortunatly there is a bug when using this skin and headertabs together. The tabs are created but the text (heading) of the tabs are missing. Could this be fixed? Thanks! --M art in (talk) 14:57, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I've got some idea what the problem could be but not the resources to fix this in the near future. I would gladly accept any patches, however. Meanwhile, you can use Bootstrap's Togglable Tabs. See the documentation to see how to do it. --Thai (talk) 21:08, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

blanks the wiki
Hi Tried installing the skin, but upon adding the require inside Local Settings it blanks the wiki.


 * Hi. The problem could have been due to the typo in the git command (see below). Could you try out if it works after renaming the skin folder from  to  ? If not, could you try adding the following two lines to   (before requiring Tweeki):

error_reporting( E_ALL ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
 * You should then see some error message instead of only a blank page. Could you please post it's content?
 * Thanks! --Thai (talk) 11:08, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Typo in git command
Nice skin I am playing with it and while a tad lost at first it has some nice features. Thanks.

I think you made a typo in your git command.

The rest of your info calls for it to be in Tweeki so think you meant. I may of missed something but without that it causes quirks it seems. Pisnaz (talk) 03:33, 22 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the hint, you're perfectly right. I had the correct link on the project page and on github but had forgotten to change it here... --Thai (talk) 11:00, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Having trouble with latest mediawiki version 1.27
I am trying install and use this skin but it doesn't work with mediawiki version 1.27. Images are not showing up and internal links are broken... Could it be updated for the mediawiki version 1.27? Jisookmeister (talk) 16:23, 9 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm using Tweeki with MW 1.27, it should be working now. Please report back, if there are still problems... Thanks, --Thai (talk) 21:01, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Revision History
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get to the page's revision history within the UI. I had to work around that and edit the page and change the URL from action=edit to action=history. What am I missing??

 * Some of MediaWiki's advanced features are hidden by default in order not to overwhelm users. Tweeki's default scenario is that of wiki-as-a-website with only some advanced users. You can of course easily change that and you have several options:
 * If it's important that you can access the history but not the other users go to your preferences and check “Show advanced features” under “Appearance”. The default “edit” button will then turn into a dropdown that contains a selection of the most important “views” and “actions”. See also the description of  in Navigational Elements' documentation.
 * You can make the dropdown visible either by changing the preference's default value for your users or changing the default configuration option that reduces  to   for non-advanced users. You can do so by adding the following to LocalSettings.php or your extension:
 * The history is part of the „views“, so you can add the  navigational element to any navigational section.

 * Is there a way I can show  to all logged in users?


 * Finalfenix (talk) 08:12, 16 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can hide it for anonymous users. So you'll have to make it visible to non-advanced users with the line above and additionally add this:

interferences with other skins
I've set tweeki as my wiki's default skin, but now "edit source" don't show up anymore on sections with other skins… (which is a shame as most of my users use vector) --Loizbec (talk) 11:26, 12 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Should've been fixed in the latest development version. Please confirm. Thanks! --Thai (talk) 13:19, 20 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Still not working for me. Edit source is not there. --LiaVeja (talk) 13:45, 9 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Could you provide some screenshots or is your wiki publicly available so that I could have a look at it? --Thai (talk) 17:34, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Tweeki as a website (layout)
Thank you so much for this brilliant theme and idea. I want to use the theme in a "as a web site" scenario, and I wonder what would you recommend in order to add layout, columns on a per page basis. I.e. what would the code be to display a site like your home page (text box background colour, rows with different number of columns and icons with different size text next or below).--Spiros71 (talk) 09:52, 15 October 2017 (UTC)


 * The documentation is a read-only Wiki, but you can always inspect the source code by appending  to the URL like this. For rows, columns, and all the other styling features you should have a look at Bootstrap's documentation. Hope this helps, --Thai (talk) 15:12, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Content not showing as expected
Hi

I have a fresh local SWM installation and enabled Tweeki. The topbar is much higher now than on my private online site, and the text "Navigation menu" is showing on the upper left corner with quite big font. The hight is twice the size as this: https://tweeki.thai-land.at/wiki/MediaWiki:Tweeki-navbar-right.

Any ideas?

Regards, Pål


 * Hi. Thanks for the report. Could you provide some screenshots? You could use github's issue tracker here to upload your images... What version of MW are you using? And what is the language of your installation? --Thai (talk) 13:22, 16 February 2018 (UTC)


 * It's exactly the same as the open issue on github (#98).. I will update my issue there.

Bootstrap Carousel
Hello, I tried to add a BS carousel to an article on my wiki, but it seems not to work. For reference, I just tried copy-pasting the example from the W3C tutorial onto one of the pages on my wiki to play around with it. I am still quite new to BS and CSS, but would you be able to point me in the direction of how to add one? I know there are some carousel classes included in the Tweeki Bootstrap CSS file, but it seems like there are some classes missing. Any help would be appreciated! TIA Lucidlywisely (talk) 07:49, 2 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry, but carousels are currently not supported by Tweeki. I never needed it and so never felt the urge to implement the style fixes (the classes are not missing it's just that MediaWiki's classes with higher specificity mix things up). Besides styles it probably also needs some code to be rewritten as carousel's javascript relies on specific attributes. I will happily accept any working patches but I won't have the resources to implement this myself in the near future – and to be honest I'm not a big fan of slideshows. Others advise against using it, too ;) Also, they raise issues in terms of accessibility. --Thai (talk) 11:50, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Long TOC and showing the category
Hello! I hope this is the correct place to share these two questions, as I am not familiar with github. I have been using Tweeki and found that it looks great, thank you!, and have two little questions about it: (1) when there are many first-level headings, the TOC at the sidebar only shows down to the a few, is there a way to make it so that the TOC is also scrolled up when there's, say, 20+ headings to be shown. I guess it involves touching the php code here and there, just some guidance would be greatly appreciated! (2) How can I show the categories of every page? I navigate using category pages a lot, I would love to have the link visible somewhere. Thank you so much for your work!!! Houjou (talk) 15:45, 13 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi. Happy to hear, that you like the skin. (1) I see several possibilities for you here. If you want it fancy, that is, if the TOC should always stay in sight but slowly scroll down as you approach the end of the page, you'll have to write your own javascript. This would be rather advanced. One easy solution is to “unfix” the sidebar(s) with this simple line of CSS that you can put into :
 * The sidebar would then move together with the rest of the page. A third possibility – the one I would prefer – would be to group them so that you only have a handful of first-level headings and a number of subheadings that will only be shown in the TOC for the section currently in view.
 * (2) The categories are only hidden via CSS. You can make them visible with this line:

 * Thank you so much for your quick and useful reply! (1) Until I am confident enough to prepare my own js for this, I'll keep the sidebar non-absolute and see if I can reorganize the headings of the affected long articles. (2) Yes! Thanks!!! --Houjou (talk) 15:36, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
