Mediawiki really need to sort out their software upgrade procedure. Upgrading the Love Wiki to 1.15 so that I can use navbox templates on pages to clean things up, hopefully it should make it easier to navigate.
Site Graphics

Just worked on a few new buttons and a header for my site. Spent ages cutting ouch each individual letter, as I don’t have the font file.
It looks a hell of a lot better now.
CSS3 RGBA
December 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Trying to make a new skin for my forum that includes some element of the new CSS3 RGBA tag. It’s proving a little bothersome right now, as some of the elements are just showing up as black for some reason.
I’ll give it a go while combining it with some PNG transparent images for the troublesome areas, see how that works out.
Also need to get started on the Wiki stylesheet, reading up on it now, it looks like it should be relatively easy, but I’m probably just being wildly optimistic.
Also also, having a look at JQuery, trying to teach myself some things to make my site a little more interesting and interactive.

I thought it might be worth listing all the changes I’ve made to my site from the standard forum and wiki installs.
Forums:
- Changed style from default blue to custom grey style.
- Added new forms to user profiles, then edited postbit php template to show those new forms under users names when they post.
- Removed navbar and made new one using horizontal list, editted stylesheet and header php template to include the new navbar.
- Added some new icons, with more to come.
- Changed image library from GD to Imagemagick.
- Added custom BB code (Youtube integration)
- Created custom VBA frontpage modules.
Wiki:
- Enabled short URL’s hack by changing some php and .htaccess file.
- Changed front page from “main page” to “love wiki” for the sake of SEO.
- Disabled anonymous editing.
There are, of course, more changes to come.
