User:David Fichtmueller/GFBio Minimal Wiki

The Minimal Wiki of GFBio (http://gfbio.biowikifarm.net/minimal/) is a specially configured wiki. It serves as a minimalistic skin for the regular public wiki (http://gfbio.biowikifarm.net/wiki/) so it can be integrated via an i-frame into the main portal of GFBio: http://www.gfbio.org/wiki

It is for displaying the content only. At the end of each page, there is an link to the corresponding page in the public wiki, where additional features can be used (view history, edit, watch, ...). This means, that there is also no need to log into the minimal wiki.

Directory Setup

The wiki has a special configuration. In the directory /var/www/v-gfbio/min/ the following files and folders exists:

• cache (the normal caching directory)
• media (sym-link to the public wiki ../w/media)
• skin (not a sym-link but a copy of the files from /usr/share/mediawiki20/skin, some are modified, though. Details see below)
• LocalSettings.php
• (all other files and directories point to /usr/share/mediawiki20, as is is the case in all of the other wiki installations )

Skin-Files

Modified Skin-Files

• removed all other Skins except Vector. Remaining files and directories in /var/www/v-gfbio/min/skin:
  • common
  • vector
  • Vector.php
• vector/screen.css: added custom CSS code at the end of the file (line 915 ff), see below
• vector/vector-min.js: custom JS to add reference back to the main wiki, content see below
• Warning: these modifications are probably not save for an update to the next version, as the skins are handled differently in more recent version. Therefore the modifications need to be redone, once the wiki runs a newer version.

LocalSettings.php

In the LocalSettings.php:

• $wgDBname is set to the same database as the public wiki
• editing is disabled for everybody (including admins)
• all skins are disabled, except vector
• skins/vector/vector-min.js is loaded as a ResourceModule
