edit contentcolor in main.css

Hello,

I tried now for 3 hours but i cant find a solution.

Is it possible to change the colour of the content in main.css?

I am using the "modern skin"

I already checked this one here, but without effect:

Where are your doubts?
There's a script in maintenance/sql.php. You run it using php with the
command line, thus  php maintenance/sql.php
It gets the file with sql statements as a parameter. If you're at the
wiki root, the script is at maintenance subfolder and the extension at
extensions/GlobalUsage. Thus you run:

> php maintenance/sql.php extensions/GlobalUsage/GlobalUsage.sql

That's for changing the colour of the heading text.

If you want to change the colour of the content text, add something like
this to MediaWiki:Modern.css
#mw-content-text { color: red }

How to allow user registration ?

Hi,

I have created a wiki without user registration enabled.

How do I (re)enable and disable user registration ?

Also how do I sign up new users on a restricted access wiki with no user
self registration ?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

In LocalSettings.php, remove the line
"$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;" or change "false"
to "true".  See
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_account_creation
for more information.

Re: MathJax on mediawiki 1.8?

I wasn't able to get it working via the instructions on MediaWiki, but
the instructions on Mathjax's own site worked like a charm:

Re: How to allow user registration ?

hi,
.../index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup

you can create new accounts with a temporary password.
every new registrated user should change this password.

New Extension: AllTimeZones

Hi,

I have made an extension called AllTimeZones [1] that lets anyone put up
dates in a page in all Timezone formats.
I think it will be especially useful for admins when announcing a meeting
rather than the current usage I saw at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Events (using the Template:UTC with
local time link) as I don't like the idea of opening a new website just to
check my local time.

Reedy already suggested to make the zones in UTC format (I am still working
at it), any other comments are most welcome.
The UI  really needs some work IMHO. You can see its screenshot at [2].
