I used the directions here http://blog.redwerks.org/2012/02/28/mediawiki-subskin-tutorial/ to create a modified Vector skin here http://en.sturmkrieg.com but the CSS doesn't seem to work. I copied the Vector.css and some of the Common.css wiki pages into the screen.css file, and for some reason, only some of the CSS seems to work, as can be seen here http://en.sturmkrieg.com/index.php?title=Sturmkrieg_Wiki&useskin=sturmkrieg

Try adding 'skin.vector' to the dependencies of your skins RL module. And use addModules instead of addModuleStyles.

Where is the RL module? Is that in the skin files or one of the core files?

EDIT

I found this in sturmkrieg.php

$wgResourceModules['skins.sturmkrieg'] = array(
	'styles' => array(
		'sturmkrieg/screen.css' => array( 'media' => 'screen' ),
	),
	'remoteBasePath' => &$GLOBALS['wgStylePath'],
	'localBasePath' => &$GLOBALS['wgStyleDirectory'],
);

Where should I add it?

Make that:

$wgResourceModules['skins.sturmkrieg'] = array(
	'styles' => array(
		'sturmkrieg/screen.css' => array( 'media' => 'screen' ),
	),
	'dependencies' => 'skin.vector',
	'remoteBasePath' => &$GLOBALS['wgStylePath'],
	'localBasePath' => &$GLOBALS['wgStyleDirectory'],
);

Btw, your url shouldn't have []'s in it.

And remember to update addModuleStyles to addModules.

Thanks. I added the 'dependencies' => 'skin.vector', line. Are you say this line $wgResourceModules['skins.sturmkrieg'] = array( should not have the [] in it?

EDIT

I have this

$wgResourceModules['skins.sturmkrieg'] = array(
	'styles' => array(
		'sturmkrieg/screen.css' => array( 'media' => 'screen' ),
	),
	
	'remoteBasePath' => &$GLOBALS['wgStylePath'],
	'localBasePath' => &$GLOBALS['wgStyleDirectory'],
	'dependencies' => 'skin.vector'
);

It doesn't seem to work.

You've done something strange. Your skin isn't even loading 'skins.sturmkrieg' anymore.

I changed addModuleStyles to addModules. For some reason, it doesn't load any of the sturmkrieg/screen.css when I set that. I'm guessing maybe I should change it back to useModuleStyles? I'll set it back to that for now. When it does that, some of the CSS for the new skin loads, but most of it seems to be the Vector CSS.

I'll update this code here, that lists the code for the skin.

Do you know what to do when only some of the CSS is loading? useModuleStyles seems to load some of the CSS from the new skin, while useModules doesn't use any of it.

I'm using MW 1.17.5. Is there anything I need to do differently?

This post was posted by Lieutenant S. Reznov, but signed as Inquisitor Ehrenstein.

Please upgrade, 1.17 is EOL. And lots of the skinning stuff is not available.

Will the method work for MW 1.19? If so, I will upgrade to that.

I was saying that the 'url' in $wgExtensionCredits['skin'][] shouldn't have '[]' around the url. It's a plain url, not wikisyntax expecting external link syntax.

Ok, I see. Thanks.
