Talk:Projects:Monobook for DokuWiki

I answer all questions on this page, but I occasionally delete older questions as they become irrelevant.

Old revisions are still available, so if you've asked a question and it's not here, look there.

Please spell “DokuWiki” correctly when referencing it.

Local Language Support

If you wish to support a language, please do the following:

  1. Create the language file based on en file in the lang folder. (And optionally a lang.css if you need special style support.)
  2. Send an email to Terence (with the file, and please tell me the two-character code, “en”, “de”, etc.)
  3. Last, add an entry below so we'll all know which languages still are needed; thanks! :-)

After I get your email, I'll add the language to the next release, and link it below so those who need it before the next release can get it.

FAQ

These are the top questions that always seem to come up; I guarantee you that they're not caused by the template.

Wiki Editing tools menu has disappeared?

Your problems can be explained and fixed here.

The template didn't cause this.

Navigation doesn't show up

Reread the installation instructions.

I had this problem because I had not installed the displaywikipage plugin. After installing it the trouble disappeared. It is not documented, is it?

It is documented, follow the link above. — Terence J. Grant 07/19/2007 23:04

I have a Navigation permissions issue

This has to do with the Display Wiki Page for DokuWiki plugin, so ask it on that discussion page.

I'm having trouble with ACL

This has nothing to do with the template, so don't ask it here.

Ask any question you want about ACL here, here, here, and the mailing list.

If you paste in ACL to this discussion, it will get deleted.

Yes, but here is an ACL problem pertaining to the monobook install instructions. The instructions emphasize to include the colon before the template pages (e.g., :wiki:navigation) which is fine as long as your entire (*) namespace is readable by ALL (which mine isn't, so the navigation and other :wiki portions do not show up for those not logged in). A solution is to change the configuration to NOT include the root colon (e.g., wiki:navigation) and grant read access to ALL for the wiki namespace.

Here's a couple of things to consider.

  1. Not using the prefix ”:” means that for any page, your navigation will look for “current_namespace:wiki:navigation” (which is a different page in different namespaces.) If you don't use anything beyond the root namespace, you're fine; but most people don't use DokuWiki this way.
  2. Some ACL routines were (and might still be) broken in DokuWiki. Essentially this meant (or might still mean) that:
    1. if you have your root namespace not readable by all,
    2. and you set the page permissions for ”:wiki:navigation” to be readable by all,
    3. then regardless of this, ”:wiki:navigation” will still inherit the permissions of the root namespace regardless.

I've reported this bug here, and here. As you can see from both links, they're not able to reproduce the bugs (but they're comparing this to the “current dev version” rather than the “stable” versions everyone else uses.) This means either one of two things:

  1. This may mean the bug was fixed in one of the stable versions released in the last few months.
    • If so, try upgrading if you haven't already.
  2. This may mean the bug isn't fixed, for some reason the problem is not understood by DW team.

And again, I'll state, if this problem still exists, it isn't a problem with monobook, it's a bug in DokuWiki's ACL. ACL problems have absolutely nothing to do with this project– if it's a problem with ACL here, it's a problem with ACL everywhere– and there's truly absolutely nothing I can do from here to fix them. — Terence J. Grant 08/02/2007 03:02

for anyone who does want a quick solution, and not to read links here and there about who is responsible for some bug: in inc/auth.php at line 341 (in function auth_aclcheck($id,$user,$groups)) just make sure $id does NOT begin with a ”:”. e.g. like this: if (substr($id, 0, 1) == ”:”) $id = substr($id, 1); have fun — Alec Alanis 02/03/2008 22:54

I installed the template and now...

If it's not related to look and feel, the template didn't do it. It's not even remotely possible.

How do I add a PDF Export link?

My suggestion is to use a PDF print driver, like one you might find in Adobe Acrobat (commercial version). Personally I use PDF995's PDF printer, and it's great.

Otherwise, there are many plugins that attempt to solve this problem. I don't use them.

If you use a PDF print driver, just click “Printable Version” and you're set– just print. Otherwise, it's up to how the PDF plugin you're using does it; editing the toolbox is covered on Monobook for DokuWiki project page, so I'll refer you to that.

What is "create this page" and "[edit]" everywhere?

That's part of the Display Wiki Page for DokuWiki plugin. It's required for navigation, site notice, and copyright.

Just uninstall the plugin then!

See I'm having trouble with ACL.

General Discussion

Table of content showing up in Navigation frame...?

Hi,

I recently upgraded to the latest dokuwiki (2008-05-05) and sometimes when I open a page, the table of content of that page appears at the top in the navigation frame, as well as at the standard location. Simply reloading the page solves the issue and gives me a normal navigation frame. Any thought how this can be caused…? The former dokuwiki engine did not show this problem, so it must be related to that, I guess, but I cannot disentangle where dokuwiki stops and monobook starts…

I have a picture showing the effect but I can't upload it.

Cheers, Arno Schoenmakers (schoenmakers 'at' astron 'dot' nl).

Hi it is me again – Len from PatentBlurb.com. I am having the same problem as Arno.

When using Firefox, the table of contents form the main page shows up in the navigation window. If I refresh the page, the ToC goes away and the page correctly renders. I have deleted the DokuWiki cache pages in the data directory and this is not caused by browser cache.

When using Internet Explorer, I get a different problem – the background of my logo isn't transparent like it used to be.

I posted screenshots of the issue here.

– Len May 31, 2008

Formatting error?

Hi. I noted a minor formatting error that seems to only appear in Firefox browsers. I reported the bug to splitbrain, but then realized maybe it is a monobook issue more than a Dokuwiki issue. The bug report is here. I'll repeat what I wrote for convenice sake:

“This is a rendering error that appears to be limited to Firefox. Opera and IE seem to render correctly. The problem is that a long unordered list beginning across from an “expanded” table of contents will not wrap around the table of contents.” See my sample page here: http://www.patentblurb.com/doku.php/playgroundtest

(By the way – love the template, good works and tons of thanks!) –Len

Hi Len, I see what you're talking about, though truthfully I don't know how to fix this. I'd say it's definitely a CSS related issue though. Do you get this same behavior with the “default” template, by the way?

My guess would be, any fix for this will happen in doku.css in the monobook distribution. Look for “toc”, as all style matters related to the dokuwiki table of contents uses this. — Terence J. Grant 08/02/2007 06:55

Search Toggle Linked to Sitenotice

Perhaps this has already been fixed, but in the version I have (quite recent) the search box toggle option is actually set to toggle with the sitenotice toggle. In main.php, line 125 down:
<?php if (tpl_getConf('mb_use_sitenotice')) { ?>
  <div id="p-search" class="portlet">
    <h5>
        <label><?php echo $lang['monobook_bar_search']?></label></h5>


…..
Shouldn't the first line use a variable like mb_use_search?
I can confirm that toggling the option (in config options) for sitenotice turns on/off BOTH the sitenotice and the search box.

This has already been fixed, so just upgrade and you should be fine. — Terence J. Grant 07/24/2007 17:05

Conf values missing in Debug Mode

If I turn on debug, I get the following errors on the configuration screen. Using 2007-06-28 release.

Also, the “Upload file” in default toolbox does not check to see if a user is logged in first, when my site is set to “closed”, only registered users.

$conf['tpl']['monobook']['mb_bc_loc'] No default value.
$conf['tpl']['monobook']['mb_hbc_loc'] No default value.
Stephan H. 2007-07-08

The wiki engine should stop people from uploading if they don't have permissions to do so, regardless of whether or not the link is displayed. Having to detect whether or not a user can upload is different than just checking if they're logged in, so this means more fun with ACL, which I've yet to verify if the problems with have been fixed yet– so I'm not going to touch this right now, however, I will make a note of it for myself as a todo item.

If you (or someone else) feels comfortable enough to fix this in the interim, feel free to send me an email with an updated (I think) toolbox.php file.

For the “no default value” things– this is beyond my control (last I checked, I was doing everything OK) so I'm going to call this one “not my problem” for now, but I'll look into it just in case. Nothing is actually missing though, so you're not losing out on any settings.

change size of left navigation

First of all thanks for a wonderful plugin.

At the moment my wiki is being filled with a huge amount of pages, by itself this is not an issue, however the navigation box is filling up rapidly (have the indexmenu here, for easy navigation) and it would be great if the boxes can be resized by about 20%. I've been browsing in the css files, and i did find the size control for the boxes itself, however the rest of the screen is a little less obvious.

Can someone help me? – Herman 06/14/2007

Really this is just a matter of diving into the CSS files provided– I get them from both wikipedia and mediawiki's websites so I couldn't tell you offhand what to change. There is an extension for firefox called “web developer” which can help though; it's listed on the Links page. — Terence J. Grant 07/20/2007 02:22

Admin option not available

Even the latest Monobook template do not have the admin option (top right menu) for user that had been granted Manager privilege using the “Manager” field configurable under Authentication Settings of Configuration Manager. The admin option is available when using Dokuwiki Default template. Is this a bug of monobook template or some setting is require to turn on the admin option for user not having superuser authority? – Sam 06/04/2007
Well, I'm not on the core dokuwiki team, so sometimes I miss the big changes like “manager”; I've become aware of it, and looking into it, but I can't provide anything right now, sorry.

In the mean time, if anyone would like to send an update that handles this, it would be appreciated. — Terence J. Grant 07/20/2007 02:30
Any news ?

Yeah, the news is: I don't have time to look into it this second. — Terence J. Grant 07/20/2007 23:13

ids named "Content"

It appears that the monobook template uses id's named “content” to format parts of the document. See “lib/tpl/monobook/monobook/main.css, Line 18” This is an issue for those wanting to use the word “Content” alone in a heading. A quick fix has been written at http://forum.dokuwiki.org/thread/716, but I wanted to report this issue to the template author.

Otherwise, Monobook is fantastic, thanks for a great template!

— Ryan Cargo 03/13/2007 11:03

Hi Ryan, the fix does not work unfortunately; the change causes the entire content of the site to become misaligned. I believe the reason is due to later references to “content” from within one of the other CSS files, perhaps expecting it to be an ID rather than a class. I'll investigate more, though don't let me stop you from doing the same. — Terence J. Grant 03/13/2007 20:32

Modifying Toolbox

With version 12022006 you can specify whether to use the default toolbox or to have a DokuWiki place for it. How can you use the 'special' variables to make a menu consisting of eg. Upload File and Permanent link ?

You can peek into context.php, near the bottom; look for $monobook['toolbox']. It uses the old style method for creating links, which is described here in an old revision of the project page.

I'll expose an API to handle this better in a future release. — Terence J. Grant 12/03/2006 23:55

How can i add a link in the toolbox to export the current page as PDF? I am using the procedure explained here

Please read the above explanation; peek into context.php, near the bottom. You can add in a new link via the $monobook['toolbox'] variable. — Terence J. Grant 03/11/2007 01:42

For example: To append a link to a page in namespace dh add:
$monobook['defaulttoolbox']['new_page']['href'] = DOKU_BASE."doku.php?id=dh:seiteanlegen";
$monobook['defaulttoolbox']['new_page']['text'] = "Neue Seite";
$monobook['defaulttoolbox']['new_page']['rel'] = "nofollow";

How do I hide "everything" until a user has logged on

How do I hide navigation, search, the toolbox, etc. until the user has logged in?
I have the same problem. I use the latest versions.

Quick answer: Certain things in DokuWiki don't work correctly; I've reported them, but there's nothing I can do about them from my end.

The full story is located here.

Translation plugin

…

Philippe, my advice would be to customize either the template code or the plugin code to suit your needs– unfortunately I can't agree with the method in which the translation plugin works. Notice that even on english language pages, everything on your site is in french.

This is not really sufficient in my opinion.

— Terence J. Grant 07/20/2007 03:10

In the configuration settings, activate the Should the language of the user interface be switched in foreign language namespaces, too? option. This options translates the entire site, with the exception of the sidebar. To have a multi-language side bar, in the main.php find the following text: 

<?php if (function_exists('dwp_display_wiki_page')) dwp_display_wiki_page(tpl_getConf('mb_navigation_location')); ?>

and replace it with: 

<?php 
$translation = &plugin_load('syntax','translation');
$currentlang = $translation->_currentLang();
 
if($currentlang!=null){
   $navigation_location=$currentlang.tpl_getConf('mb_navigation_location');
}else{
   $navigation_location=tpl_getConf('mb_navigation_location');
}?>
 
<?php if (function_exists('dwp_display_wiki_page')) dwp_display_wiki_page($navigation_location); ?>

All you need to do now is to create a page for the sidebar for each language. I tested this with a dual language site and so far I have no problems with it.

Adding banners

Please, what is the best practice for adding clickable banners beneath the toolbox section while preserving the original toolbox? Thanks. joe

Hi Joe, look for this in main.php: 

<?php if (tpl_getConf('mb_use_toolbox')) { ?>
...
<?php } ?>

The ”…” represents additional code; it's a big block, so look for the first line listed there. Add whatever banner you want after that, and before the </div> tag. — Terence J. Grant 08/06/2007 08:51

Problem with searchGoButton

Using the current versions of Dokuwiki and Monobook, I have a Problem with the “searchGoButton”: If I search for a term, it shows a mouseover-effect with Firefox and shows nothing with IE – clicking this button produces a failure in IE (maybe a javascript-failure?) and nothing happens if I click the searchGoButton in Firefox. As I can see this butten works at tatewake.com. Any ideas?

"In other languages"

This file has been included with the main monobook download for some time, but I'm dropping it and will just link it here since it has remained unfinished. Also, I spent a lot of time getting the names of the languages right and did not want to delete the file.

So here it is as a prototype for someone else to possibly finish:

It does not work as a simple drop in, you will have to figure it out on your own. Also if you do use it, it will make your wiki much slower(which is why it was never enabled in any release.)

I believe there is a better (and different way) to do “in other languages” support; this method isn't very good though.

Logbook

I needed a logbook in my wiki (namespace :logbook) but I don't have the time to create a new subpage with the current date from my logbook-namespace every day (e.g. :logbook:2006-11-13 for 11/13/2006). This code for “pref.php” adds a link in the navigation toolbar which leads to the logbook page of the current day in the logbook-namespace: 

$monobook['navigation']['log']['wiki'] = ":logbook:".date("Y-m-d");
$monobook['navigation']['log']['text'] = "LogMe";

At the moment, the code seems to work fine, leading to an link to logbook:2006-11-13 in the navigation bar.

Since the links will become orphaned the next day, I've included the orphanswanted-plugin with the following code on the logbook-page itself: 

~~ORPHANSWANTED:orphans!ALL_MY_NAMESPACES_EXCEPT_LOGBOOK~~

which reminds me which dates I've got to link there once I've got a few minutes time.

Navigation for each namespace

We're using one wiki for all our people, and they have access to the namespaces they need for their work. So they wished to get some different navigation bars for each namespace (because allmost nobody has access to everything right now).

So I got some inspiration by the comment above and checked the sidebar template by Christopher Smith and implemented his recursive sidebar function to display_wiki.

For testing, add the changed code.php in your plugins/displaywikipage folder and edit line 261 in context.php of mediawiki template to 
if (function_exists('dwp_display_wiki_page')) dwp_display_wiki_page($action['wiki_page'], true);


See Talk:Projects:Display Wiki Page for DokuWiki

ATTENTION - THIS IS AT LEAST JUST A BETA STAGE

I'll look into this when I get some time, thanks. — Terence J. Grant 12/04/2006 00:21

Different navigation for each user/group

This is my very simple solution

I'm adding following code to the begining of <mainwikifolder>/lib/tpl/monobook/main.php:

(after @include(dirname(FILE).'/context.php'); on the line 7) 

if ($INFO['client']=="username"){ //or for group info: $INFO['userinfo']['grps']
    $conf['tpl']['monobook']['mb_navigation_location'] = 'namespace:page';  //for ex.: 'wiki:navigation'
}

— Fero Gajdosik 12/02/2007

If logo-image is not wanted...

and its usual position is to be used for navigation links (adaptation of css), I believe that this small change to main.php is appropriate (search for p-logo, to find the position of this code in main.php): 

<?php if (file_exists(dirname(__FILE__).'/user/logo.png')
or file_exists(dirname(__FILE__).'/user/logo.gif')
or file_exists(dirname(__FILE__).'/user/logo.jpg')) { ?>
<div class="portlet" id="p-logo">
	<a 
	<?php if (file_exists(dirname(__FILE__).'/user/logo.png')) { ?>
	style="background-image: url(<?php echo $DOKU_TPL?>user/logo.png);"
	<?php } else if (file_exists(dirname(__FILE__).'/user/logo.gif')) {?>
	style="background-image: url(<?php echo $DOKU_TPL?>user/logo.gif);"
	<?php } else if (file_exists(dirname(__FILE__).'/user/logo.jpg')) {?>
	style="background-image: url(<?php echo $DOKU_TPL?>user/logo.jpg);"
	<?php } ?>
	href="<?php echo DOKU_BASE?>" accesskey="h" title="[ALT+H]">
	</a>
</div>
<?php } ?>

To move the user and user talk pages out of the wiki namespace...

I didn't want the wiki namespace on my wiki (though I know this will probably have some disastrous consequences in the future.. ;-) ) To do this, I opened ~lib/tpl/monobook/context.php and search for wiki:user - and remove “wiki:” from each instance. If you do this, be very careful to maintain the syntax - e.g. in some places it's :wiki:user and you need to change that to :user. Please let me know if I missed something! tobias 2007-03-27

Footnotes not visible due to css settings

I think this problem only occured in the new version of the monobook template (05.23.2007). In the main.css the #content has a z-index:2, whereas the div.insitu.footnotes in doku.css don`t have any z-index, so the footnotes are rendered behind the content, and thus invisible. This behavior can for example be seen here: footnotes Setting the z-index of div.insitu.footnotes in doku.css to 3 should take care of this problem and display the footnotes properly. Christian 06-01-2007

Recent changes in toolbox

Just add the code below to context.php to get the link back. 

/* Default Toolbox Portlet */
$monobook['defaulttoolbox']['recentchanges']['href'] = DOKU_BASE."doku.php?do=recent";
$monobook['defaulttoolbox']['recentchanges']['text'] = "Recent Changes";
$monobook['defaulttoolbox']['recentchanges']['rel'] = "nofollow";

On another note I am still wondering why there is wiki:toolbox namespace setting if its not used. 

$conf['mb_toolbox_location'] = ":wiki:toolbox";

HTTPS, IE "unsecure items" & CSS bullet images

When upgrading to DokuWiki 2007-06-26b with monobook 2007-07-20, I noticed IE (ver 7) began complaining about “This page contains both secure and nonsecure items”. Apparently, an image in the template was being referenced as “http” whereas my site only allows “https”. I finally tracked this down to the Monobook.css file (lib/tpl/monobook/wikipedia/en/Monobook.css) which pulls image files from a public site for display. IMO, this should be fixed in a later Monobook update as this is less efficient than delivering the files from your own server and a potential security risk.

My temp solution is as follows: 

.portlet li {
  /* The following image causes IE to produce nonsecure popup warning when using https://
  list-style-image: url("http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/18/Monobook-bullet.png");
  */
  list-style-image: url("../../common/images/Monobook-bullet.png");
}

li.FA {
  /* The following image causes IE to produce nonsecure popup warning when using https://
  list-style-image: url("http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d4/Monobook-bullet-star.png");
  */
  list-style-image: url("../../common/images/Monobook-bullet-star.png");
}

This gets rid of the IE complaints (not an issue under FireFox 1.5 at least).

Heading Indention like in Default Template

I just wondered how to get the same heading-indention (and the “contents” inside a heading) like it is done in the default DokuWiki template. After some investigating of both the themes using Mozilla FireFox & FireBug I found out that the default DokuWiki template has some extended CSS-styles to get the indention. Here are some of my findings: 

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
	color: black;
	background: none;
	font-weight: normal;
	margin: 0;
	padding-top: .5em;
	padding-bottom: .17em;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #aaa;
}
h1 { font-size: 188%; }
h2 { font-size: 150%; }
h3, h4, h5, h6 {
	border-bottom: none;
	font-weight: bold;
}
h3 { font-size: 132%; }
h4 { font-size: 116%; }
h5 { font-size: 100%; }
h6 { font-size: 80%; }

to 

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
	color: black;
	background: none;
	font-weight: normal;
	margin: 0;
	padding-top: .5em;
	padding-bottom: .17em;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #aaa;
}
h1 { font-size: 188%; }
h2 { font-size: 150%; margin-left: 20px; }
h3, h4, h5, h6 {
	border-bottom: none;
	font-weight: bold;
}
h3 { font-size: 132%; margin-left: 40px; }
h4 { font-size: 116%; margin-left: 60px; }
h5 { font-size: 100%; margin-left: 80px; }
h6 { font-size: 80%; }


/* indent different sections */
div.dokuwiki div.level1 {margin-left: 3px;}
div.dokuwiki div.level2 {margin-left: 23px;}
div.dokuwiki div.level3 {margin-left: 43px;}
div.dokuwiki div.level4 {margin-left: 63px;}
div.dokuwiki div.level5 {margin-left: 83px;}

I also noticed that the Monobook CSS-styles are kind of expecting support for H6-headings although DokuWiki only supports H1-H5. So the H6-support can be dropped imho.

Maybe it's an idea to create a configurable option for the Monobook-template which enables/disables this hack. This way no hacks are needed although users can use the “heading-indention”…

Link Fix

Use better wl() and ml() to create the links, to support the [userewrite] option.

Example: wl($ID, array('rev'⇒$_REQUEST['rev'], 'mbdo'⇒'cite']))

Spamers are searching sites for spamable content, “doku.php” shows such a spamable environment. So its better to hide “doku.php” completely.

Admin menu item for manager group members

DokuWiki let some people in manager group (see $conf['manager'] ) have access to admin menu for some restricted actions. It would be nice for them to have as the superuser a 'Admin' menu item in the personnal-bar. Just a little change is needed in context.php

Change 

200:  if ($INFO['perm'] == AUTH_ADMIN)
201:  {
202:  	  $monobook['personal']['admin']['href']=DOKU_BASE.DOKU_SCRIPT."?id=".$ID."&amp;do=admin";

by 

200:  if ($INFO['ismanager']) 
201:  {
202:  	  $monobook['personal']['admin']['href']=DOKU_BASE.DOKU_SCRIPT."?id=".$ID."&amp;do=admin";

Special-Page Look-and-Feel-Modifications

I have done some changes in /lib/tpl/monobook/context.php to have more “specialpages” and to have them displayed in a Mediawiki-Style: To have more specialpages I added

after if (beginsWith($ID, "wiki:")) 

if (beginsWith($ID, "Hilfe:")) /**** my Help-Files - may be "help" for others ****/
{
      $pagetype = "special";	/* Special page */
}
 
if (beginsWith($ID, "Spezialseiten:")) /**** my Special pages ****/
{
      $pagetype = "special";	/* Special page */
}

and after if ($ACT == "search") 

else if ($ACT == "index")
{
	$pagetype = "special";	/* Special page */
}

and finally after if ($_REQUEST['mbdo'] == 'cite') 

else if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'recent')
{
	$pagetype = "special";	/* Special page */
}
else if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'backlink')
{
	$pagetype = "special";	/* Special page */
}


I didn't want discussion, old revisions and edit/show pagesource to be visible for “ALL” in specialpages - so I modified the code to make it visible to admin only.

I modified the part after else if ($pagetype == "special"): 

/************** code not changed *********************/
else if ($pagetype == "special")
{
	$monobook['nsclass'] = 'mediawiki ns-1 ltr';	/* Special page */
 
	$monobook['content_actions']['nstab-main']['class'] = "selected";

I did it with try and error - so this code may not be optimal (but it works - compare for example Recent Changes on Heine-Wiki and "Navigation" from this page as “special pages”)

Link Fix

Use better wl() and ml() to create the links, to support the [userewrite] option.

Example: wl($ID, array('rev'⇒$_REQUEST['rev'], 'mbdo'⇒'cite']))

Spamers are searching sites for spamable content, “doku.php” shows such a spamable environment. So its better to hide “doku.php” completely.
