[Bf-docboard] Naiad skin updated to MediaWiki 1.25

[Francesco Siddi]

Hello Marcin,
thank you very much for this message. As one of the original authors of Naiad I’m very happy to hear it has been useful for you. I am currently very busy with other projects but I definitely intend to check it out. In the meantime i have a couple of questions:

- do you have a live preview?
- did you tackle mobile in any way?
- can you confirm that TreeAndMenu works well without heavy caching?

Best regards,
Francesco

Hello,  

I have been contracted to update the Blender's Naiad  
MediaWiki skin for the purpose of some internal website.  

The modifications I have made work with MediaWiki 1.25.0+  
(including the current 1.27alpha).  

We have released the code on repo.or.cz:  

http://repo.or.cz/NaiadSkin.git  

Attached also please find patch against SVN (sorry  
to send it gzipped by the list allows only 40KB).  

I have made few technical changes:  

- MediaWiki i18n system is now used to cache parts  
of the interface, so we probably don't need  
to hack the parser,  
- The skin can use http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DeToc  
to extract and move the table of contents  
(this function is in the current code of the skin  
but had to be re-written for 1.25.0)  
- http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/MediaWiki:NavTree_TopPages  
has been renamed to  
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/MediaWiki:NavTreeTopPages  
for consistency with the code.  
- The skin is more customizable - it uses $wgLogo  
and the links under the logo can be customized  
using MediaWiki:Sidebar.  

We are using the skin with the stock TreeAndMenu extension  
and it seems that the porting of BlenderTags parser caching  
and BlenderTreeAndMenu has not been necessary.  

I have prepared http://repo.or.cz/CustomFancyTree.git  
extension to modify the look of TreeAndMenu to match  
more closely that of the current wiki (still work in  
progress).  

Maybe less relevant to Blender Wiki but I have also  
prepared http://repo.or.cz/NaiadSamples.git extension  
to help bootstrap and customize the skin  
on a fresh wiki without the need to import Blender Wiki  
templates. This extension uses MW hooks to provide  
default values of MediaWiki:NavTree etc. etc.  

Detailed instructions are here:  

http://repo.or.cz/NaiadSkin.git/blob/refs/heads/master:/INSTALL  


I am happy to work with you to update this even  
more - maybe with this skin the Blender Wiki could  
be updated to the current MediaWiki version.  

I was also wondering if a version of this with  
a different color scheme and artwork could be  
also released on MediaWiki.org.  

The patch against SVN is attached, please note that  
I have removed few files.  

I have subscribed to this list and I am also on #blenderwiki  
as "saper".  

Thank you for publishing Naiad for everyone to use!
