Monobook

Note

The original layout is supposed to handle a 135x135 pixels logo. This explains why the PmWiki logo looks a bit alone in its corner.

Notebook tabs customization

The skin uses the list of action links stored into {$Group}.PageActions or Site.PageActions pages to generate the notebook tabs (as PmWiki default skin does to display available actions).

The skin layout prevent using PageActions pages for defining something else than an action list.

In order to restore the previous skin specific behavior, each action link definition may be followed by a secondary (hidden) link for the rendering of the currently selected tab (aka. for the current action).

Skin previous default behavior would be restored with following sample PageActions customization:

* [[$[View] -> {$FullName}]] %comment%[[{$Group}|{$Groupspaced}/…]]%%
* [[$[Edit Page] -> {$FullName}?action=edit]]
* [[$[Page Attributes] -> {$FullName}?action=attr]]
* [[$[Page History] -> {$FullName}?action=diff]]
* [[$[Upload] -> {$FullName}?action=upload]]

where the first tab is rendered as a link to either:

'Skins/…'

current page group when browsing a page,

'View'

browse current page when performing another action on it.

Link decoration

The skin specific link decoration may be dropped with the following code into your local configuration file:

 $EnableSkinLinkDecoration = 0;

Sometimes, the decoration applied to external links (whose not generated from group/pages) leads to bad looking rendered output (especially when using images as links). The following image link:

 [[http://www.pmwiki.org|http://www.pmichaud.com/img/misc/gem.jpg]]

is (poorly) rendered as:

The solution is to explicitly qualify the link with the %wikilink% style as if it was "internally" generated. The tweaked image link:

 %wikilink% [[http://www.pmwiki.org|http://www.pmichaud.com/img/misc/gem.jpg]]

is (better) rendered as:

Nota (PmWiki version < 2.1 beta 10): when applying this trick to already class-defined elements (such as %lframe% enclosed images), you need to write explicitely the style definition using atomic class elements (as %class='lfloat frame wikilink'% in this case):

 %class='frame wikilink'% [[http://www.pmwiki.org|http://www.pmichaud.com/img/misc/gem.jpg]]

renders as:

Header/Footer customization

Like Grease skin does, several "fixed" parts of the skin (title, wikititle and footer) may be customized from the configuration files via the $SkinPartFmt array variable with regular markup definitions. The skin defaults are:

$SkinPartFmt['wikititle'] = "$WikiTitle - {\$Titlespaced}";
$SkinPartFmt['title'] = '{$Titlespaced}';
$SkinPartFmt['footer'] = ...;

As an interesting side effect, the (:title ...:) directive will therefore handle regular markup (emphasis, links, ...).
