Hello Kitsufox,

I've come across your website because I'm also using MediaWiki with Foreground skin. You can have a look at my website at https://www.dicoado.ch

I was wondering how you managed to put icons in the navigation bar. Could you please help me out ?

Thanks.

Hi, DSwissK. The icons in the nav code are a little Javascript hack that was explained out and basically written for me by folks on the Github when I feature-requested it. You can see it explained out here.

Thanks for your fast and nice answer :)

Another technical question : which Echo version are you using ? I have issues getting this extension to work.

Kitsufox (talkcontribs)

You're welcome!

I'm actually using the unreleased production version of Foreground so Echo will work.

Hi again, I managed to make Echo and Foreground work together (thanks to your help pointing the 2.1.0 alpha version of the skin). But I need one more thing to get done before being totally satisfied with how my wiki is set up. Whenever I get a new message in my talk page, I won't see it before going in the top right menu and see a small inconspicuous line telling me that I got a message. That should come directly in the notification area from Echo extension. How did you get that done ? Thanks !

The only reason I knew that trick was I reported the error to the foreground dev, and it had already been dealt with.

As for the notifications moving... (this is what took so long, I had to be back to my desktop so I could pop into the local settings file and see what I used)...

require_once "$IP/extensions/Echo/Echo.php"; # 2017-05-22
wfLoadExtension( 'Thanks' ); # 2017-05-22
require_once "$IP/extensions/Flow/Flow.php"; # 2017-05-24
$wgContentHandlerUseDB = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['flow-create-board'] = true;
$wgNamespaceContentModels[NS_USER_TALK] = 'flow-board';
$wgFlowContentFormat = 'html';

That's my section for flow and related stuff... I don't know if there's anything different from your settings or not... honestly now idea....
