[00:08:58] @avengium [00:13:58] Hi [00:14:58] [1/2] In common.css is for common use. That means for every skin. [00:14:58] [2/2] If you only want that on am specific skin, put it on the .css page [00:15:18] Okay so yes [00:15:38] Also im a noob, so Im not sure what css class is :P [00:17:53] typing for awhile <:slugsweateyes:695022452337803284> [00:18:56] Oh wait I think I see it [00:19:08] [1/4] The CSS is the language for style pages so everything written on a style page is on CSS language (usually). [00:19:08] [2/4] The style is given to every element. [00:19:08] [3/4] Each element has a name. These names are called classes. [00:19:09] [4/4] When you want to copy the name of an element to reference it, you are copying its class [00:19:09] Well I see it for the header I think [00:19:18] [1/2] You can read more about that here: [00:19:18] [2/2] https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/w3css_references.asp [00:19:26] Ahh [00:19:36] So...Okay hold on I'll try something and report back [00:20:46] Wait where do I find common.css? [00:20:53] I thought it was ManageWiki:Common.CSS [00:20:57] I appear to be wrong [00:21:20] MediaWiki not ManageWiki [00:21:26] Darn [00:21:27] So close! [00:21:29] Thanks [00:22:05] I log of discord. Until tomorrow [00:22:13] [00:22:47] @gummiel Is this right? [00:23:45] think the css part at the end should be lowercase too, but otherwise correct [00:24:30] Found it! [00:24:33] Thx [00:29:26] what are some recommended extensions for wikis forking from fandom to miraheze [00:29:46] @firezombie234 remember the selector thing? those are classes [00:31:17] Well I see a thing that says class="cosmos-pageAligned mw-body ve-init-mw-desktopArticleTarget-targetContainer" [00:31:25] So I assume that is the class [00:32:27] classes, they're sperated by a space. you might not need all of them, you can do some testing in inspect tool to see what affects it [00:34:05] [1/2] I'm getting an extremely weird error with two pages I edited today. You can't view the page, you can if you check the page history- but you can't edit it, and you can't revert the most recent edit to try to fix it. It says "check related logs" but there's no logs indicating anything weird has happened. [00:34:05] [2/2] https://cheeseepedia.org/wiki/Munch%27s_Make_Believe_Band_Residency [00:34:31] We're fixing that now [00:34:39] Ah sitewide problem? gotcha [00:34:47] Yeah [00:34:56] it's safe to edit now right? <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [00:36:08] Well I hope so [00:36:18] I just spent 40 minutes getting a rounded border to work [00:40:37] Should be, we reverted the config change that caused the problem, only thing to do now is fix broken revisions. [00:41:11] Speaking of, script is going alphabetically and is currently midway through the bs [00:43:35] Also, short FYI that the edit summary for all affected revisions will be lost. I don't think that will be a huge loss, but just puting this out there in case anyone is wondering. [00:44:36] @chimecrime Ive got this weird thing going on in my common.css code [00:44:45] This empty space wont go away [00:44:56] And I cant delete it, it just deletes the actualy code [00:45:32] isn't that like a thing where clicking on it minimizes the code? [00:45:40] good thing I actually save my source file into a notepad before pressing safe so I lost nothing and this was a good opportunity to finally split up the archive which was necessary anyway. [00:45:51] I think so? [00:46:53] Looks more like an inconsistency with the syntax highlighter tbh [00:47:32] you don't need that all the green stuff btw, that is classes in the background field, they shouldn't go there [00:47:55] wait so what do I need to edit this [00:48:02] The grey inside [00:48:15] just cosmos-pageAligned? [00:49:00] you are using classes twice [00:49:29] Oh wait, so would I put the green part in place of the body part? [00:49:30] classes go where "body" is. and you might only need body [00:50:10] can vary but setting the background usually works on body, unless your skin is more weird [00:51:58] hrrrrggghhhh [00:52:03] Ill get there eventually [00:52:14] basically try this [00:52:35] Wont that just set the background background? [00:52:41] the brown part in this [00:52:53] Cause I did do that to change that [00:52:54] but isn't that the background? [00:52:58] Well yes [00:53:05] But not the background I want to change [00:53:14] see the red highlighted area? [00:53:29] And the dark grey "background" [00:54:06] that's usually .mw-body [00:54:21] Okay one sec [00:55:12] HEY [00:55:14] Getting there [00:55:20] Now I need to edit its border [00:55:26] Conmon Void W [00:57:16] its not .mw-border like I thought it would be [00:57:45] well you're trying to change the border of mw-body [00:58:04] so just put `border-color` under the background-color [00:58:12] Ahh okay [00:58:17] yeah that makes sense [00:59:21] Okay well it makes sense but seemingly does nothing [01:01:50] oh wait [01:02:35] Hmmm [01:02:46] OH [01:02:48] I see it I think [01:02:55] oh wait no [01:02:58] nvm [01:04:38] [1/2] Keep in mind changes to the mediawiki css pages takes a while to take effect. So usualy a good idea to test it either directly in your browsers inspector, where it updates on the fly as you make the changes, but doesn't stick if you go to a different page/reload the page. Or you can test it in your User:yourname/common.css which takes effect as soon as you save it but only shows for [01:04:38] [2/2] you. So once youa re happy with the result you can then move it over to the MediaWiki: version for it to affect everyone [01:05:37] Ahh okay [01:05:46] Ill just wait a bit then [01:05:58] <:Waiting:1141555418028585000> [01:07:19] Well I mean show preview seems to immediately show me what it will look like [01:08:45] is that by wiki name? [01:08:47] It does sometimes in my experience, not always though [01:09:43] Well, does my code look correct to get what I want? Cause I do feel like preview would display it correctly after many many clicks. [01:11:40] I mean the syntax looks correct yes, but well first of all I don't remember what color each hexcode is. And beside that CSS inheritance rules, and other things are WEIRD so extremely hard to predict exactly when you need to find another way to target something, or when you need to add !important etc. etc. [01:17:17] @gummiel So does this mean that .mw-body doesnt actually govern the part I wanna change? [01:17:21] The red it apparently the border I guess? [01:17:33] but the grey space right outside it isnt affected [01:17:53] And I suppose this wasnt working because the border was 0px around the body [01:25:37] Wait [01:25:43] Its not the border I think [01:25:45] padding? [01:46:33] yes its the padding [01:46:37] which apparently you cant color? [01:47:05] padding is like giving an element extra space [01:47:15] you can't exactly color space [01:51:56] I think I give up on this one lol [01:52:04] Im sure there are work arounds though [01:52:10] But I cant figure it out right now [01:52:47] Ill come back to it I guess [01:53:50] are you trying to color the container around mw body? [01:55:20] if it's outside of it, you need to look higher up in the hierarchy like the wrapper or block [02:05:00] Script is now done running, if anyone is still seeing problems, let me know. [02:13:26] honestly sure [02:13:46] whatever this purple part is [02:15:27] doesn't border accomplish that there? [02:15:52] apparently not [02:16:25] Apparently that space is not the border of mw.body [02:50:08] @chimecrime Any ideas on what I could do to color that area [02:52:24] can you link your wiki? <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> you can use the `/auth` command to verify so you can post links [02:52:36] do I use it in general? [02:52:43] yeah that works [02:52:46] oki doki [02:53:27] https://itbwiki.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page @chimecrime [02:55:54] is this green area you want to have a diff color? [02:56:05] yes [03:06:56] [1/5] first thing is that it's not actually a thing, it's just padding (making extra space) on the mw-body. you can however replace it by removing the padding and replace it with a border of the same size [03:06:57] [2/5] ` padding: 0; [03:06:57] [3/5] border-color: red; [03:06:57] [4/5] border-width: 10px 40px; [03:06:57] [5/5] border-style: solid;` [03:06:58] Just give Chime some Time [03:06:59] Oh [03:09:26] I'll give it a shot [03:12:10] Uhh [03:12:23] also https://itbwiki.miraheze.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Cosmos-navigation [03:12:38] I suppose I have this in the wrong way? [03:15:27] [1/6] well "proper" form would look like [03:15:27] [2/6] `.class { [03:15:27] [3/6] stuff: [03:15:28] [4/6] stuff: [03:15:28] [5/6] }` [03:15:28] [6/6] but it will probably still work like that [03:15:40] It would still work huh? [03:15:57] I dunno Chime... [03:16:10] It doesnt seem like the padding went away [03:16:16] does anyone know how long it will take to have a custom domain ssl request fulfilled? [03:16:45] I will patiently wait, I was just curious about the average turnaround time. [03:18:58] it's still applying the border though yeah? just the padding still works? [03:19:35] Yeah it seems to be applying the border properly [03:19:39] But the padding is still there [03:19:46] And also for some reason the border isnt the right color [03:19:54] But I can fix that with trial and error [03:20:29] then try adding "important" to the padding like `padding: 0 !important;` sometimes it's needed to overwrite some default that was already set [03:20:46] Okay [03:21:23] nothing happened [03:21:48] also its warning me about the use of !important [03:21:56] yeah that's normal [03:22:32] Maybe padding needs to be 0px instead of 0? [03:22:55] add spaces in front of background and padding maybe? dunno but maybe that's tripping it <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [03:23:13] [1/2] Yeah most warnings can be ignored, as long as there is no straight up error. [03:23:14] [2/2] Warning are more about conventions and such, but due to how wiki software works in particualt there it can be hard to impossible to follow conventions 100% [03:23:39] <:huntershrug:765050973612671067> [03:23:49] spaces added and nothing [03:23:57] why is this padding so damn stubborn [03:24:01] Ohh yes it would it needs to know what unit you are giving it, or it might as well be in elephants 😛 [03:24:33] ahh well px added [03:24:38] But nothing still <:PensiveMay:912511389443182593> [03:25:35] I just recently saw you shouldn't do that for 0 😂 css conventions are funny like that [03:26:23] did you try adding spaces? [03:26:40] yep [03:26:48] Thats why im including the code in each screenshot [03:26:59] also maybe publish the edit so we can see what happens <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> [03:27:23] Changes Saved [03:27:30] Gotta wait a bit for effect tho right? [03:27:35] yeah [03:27:49] huh interesting, I mean human logically that does make sense... computer logically it usually doesn't though, hence why I assumed I geuss it would need a unit xD [03:28:04] yeah haha [03:28:32] Womp womp [03:30:30] @gummiel Do you have any input on this? [03:32:21] I'm not seeing any change <:ThinkerMH:912930078646730792> maybe you need to do `.mw-body {` ? [03:32:40] im already doing that tho [03:32:53] or do you seperatly for the padding? [03:33:32] was just seeing there's no space between body and { in the css page still [03:33:52] Ah [03:33:54] Ill try that [03:34:30] Nothing still [03:34:31] Not anything specific, I been slightly sick most of the day I think, and a bit low on sleep in general I think, so not really in a state of mind to go in and actually look at the specifics for CSS changes sorry. [03:34:42] No problem [03:34:43] :) [03:35:58] oh duh, I see it now [03:36:07] change .mw-body to #mw-content [03:36:51] ITS A # [03:36:57] I tried something like that awhile ago [03:37:05]
