Everybodywiki talk:Technical issues

To talk about technical issues

There is a problem on all wikis where "N" and "I" do not appear and other features (in the red). Or problem in my account. Bruno Leonard (talk) 04:54, 23 August 2021 (CEST)

I managed to solve this problem in preferences.

I accidentally turned it off when changing over edits.

Hello @Handroid7 @Mh6ti @Aquifer @Kandlis101, if you have time could you test the skin Chameleon (based on Bootstrap)

Projet:FAQ#How_to_switch_to_another_skin_.3F

and list issues you have found on

https://en.everybodywiki.com/Projet:Technical_issues?veaction=edit

In the Bugs / Chameleon skin section ?

I'm planning to enable this skin for everyone for a better main page and responsive forms.

Here is a shortcut.

I will take a look. Thanks for letting us know.

the worst bug is that on small screen the infobox is offset on th eleft and partially hidden.

File:Infobox is offset on the left.png

Ok this bug is fix !

I think not being very popular is just an example infobox is offset on th eleft and partially hidden

Hello the new skin is enabled for everyone ! What do you think about it ?

Looks nice, but I have found a few minor bugs such as that the notification widget is behind the special character bar in the editor. Here is a fix:

.mw-echo-ui-overlay{ z-index: 10; } /* Fix for notification widget infront of WikiEditor, see https://pic8.co/sh/zLslHg.png */
#msupload-dropzone { height:2em; } /* Fix for: https://pic8.co/sh/zLslHg.png */

.wikiEditor-ui-toolbar .page-characters div span { 
  height:1.5em; 
  line-height:1.1em;
} /* Fix for advanced character button heights */

Also see the code suggestion in Projet:Technical_issues#Chameleon_skin. It allows a much better viewing experience on wide monitors.

Looks nice

Please make Persian with the same theme

Please put this Projet:Home/Top on the main page. We have to arrange it on the main page as well. And another suggestion, why don't you blacken the theme of the flower space, like what do you think of Everipedia a theme? Its design will be much more beautiful.

For example, I made our page in it, see how it looks, it is excellent

https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/everybodywiki

Chameleon looks very good and works for me. But I think Vector is still the preferred default skin for most people, since they would prefer something that looks closer to Wikipedia.

Good here

Hello @Handroid7 @Mh6ti @Aquifer @Kandlis101 @Hérisson grognon @Florian COLLIN.

I'm Ok to make EverybodyWiki looks closer to Wikipedia.

I would like to develop a new skin based on Bootstrap/Chameleon that looks like vector. I will test it on a few visited EverybodyWiki : the danish one.

The main work to do is on the Layout of page elements :

https://github.com/ProfessionalWiki/chameleon/blob/master/docs/customization.md#layout-of-page-elements

to display the nav bar on the left for wide screen only (800 px and more ?)

I will copy the content of current layouts/vectorlike.xml file in this page

https://da.everybodywiki.com/index.php?title=Everybodywiki:Vectorlike.xml&action=edit

If you are interested we can work together on this project

Sure, I can help.

In User:Handroid7/chameleon.css, I have already developed a side bar from the bottom tool bar for 500px to 1500px (tablets).

Feel free to try it out.

---

I noticed another problem in MediaWiki:Chameleon.css: In order to be effective, this code:

/*The container padding is too large for mobile phones and tablets (screenshot)*/
@media (max-width:960px) {
    .container { padding: 0 0.5rem; }
}

needs to be moved below:

.container { padding: 0 2rem; max-width: none; }

.

Because in CSS, the last declaration of an equal parameter takes priority.

Ok I have move it below. And I will test your css code on User:Handroid7/chameleon.css. Thanks

One thing that may bother some users is the screen space reserved by the side bar, even when scrolling down. It does not bother me much, but just as a thought.

I agree space could be wasted. Maybe side bar could "follow" the screen when the user scrolls down and remains visible.

Here you can watch an animation of the responsive behaviour of the "vector like" skin

There are some bugs of Echo notifications for wide and small screens

Hello @Handroid7 I have uploaded 2 screen shots of css bugs related to Echo notifications : Projet:Technical_issues#Echo_notifications do you know how to fix them ?

I will take a look tomorrow.

But the notification menu currently works as intended on mobile to me.

Thanks, but you will see the bug only on the danish version : https://da.everybodywiki.com

Good job. Make EW look closer like EN wiki and wikiAlpha

Users can actually select Vector or Monobook in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering, if they wish a layout resembling Wikipedia.

But if the side bar is implemented, I recommend it to stay on the screen. Another consideration is narrow browser heights, which could be caused by users having multiple browser windows on screen on top of each other (although side-by-side is more conventional).

Hello, unfortunately anons users cannot select vector in their pref.

Sadly, MediaWiki lacks the feature to set the skin as browser cookie.

I hope they implement it at some point.

I have done a search on MediaWiki.org. Apparently highly requested feature.

There is an URL parameter: useskin=vector. But it does not persist the skin when navigating away from the shown page.

When trying to log in an error message appears I have fix it, can you try to log in Handroid7

It works again. Thanks!

Some users still successfully created accounts during the last few days (Special:Log/newusers), but they have very few edits.
