Simon's profile
An itinerant webmaster for some clubs.
Started with UseMod, tried MoinMoin, found and converted to PmWiki many years ago.
Once a software developer (Pascal), now joined the dark side as a Project Manager, ETL Team Leader, Data Architect, Solution Architect, now Enterprise Architect. Still dabble with CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and now PHP to support the PmWiki websites.

My weapons |
Used as a home intranet (great for the kids), and for community group websites. |
My CSS suggestions and customisationsWhen creating a skin simply include the original PmWiki CSS file, this ensures you benefit from pmwiki upgrades, viz @import url("/pmwiki/pub/skins/pmwiki/pmwiki.css");
Use CSS to suppress and change some elements of the page when printing (latterly pmwiki also uses this), eg @media print { /* style sheet for print */ #wikilogo, #wikihead, #wikifoot, #wikileft, #wikicmds, .wikitrail, .noprint { display : none; } } My template suggestions and customisationsChange the order of the skin CSS and run time CSS lines (which replace the Headertext) to ensure your customised skin CSS overrides the page by page generated CSS, viz <!--HeaderText--> <link rel='stylesheet' href='$SkinDirUrl/pmwiki.css' type='text/css' /> |
