Mandarin

An orange theme with editable sidebar (just edit the SideBar page) and universal wiki edit button (that chalk icon in the corner).

Works with: 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9
Changelog: changelog
Download: mandarin
Author: RadomirDopieralski

To use the sidebar, just create a page called SideBar, and put anything you want on it. It will be displayed on every page then, with a slightly different formatting.

Variants

You can now generate a variant of the Mandarin theme by using the Mandarin Color Generator (tm). Just enter your company's color as a hex (just like in HTML), and then copy the resulting CSS snippet.

Save the snippet as something.css in the theme's directory in htdocs, and add the line

@import url(something.css);

at the top of the style.css file. Done.

Strawberry

An example on how to modify the theme's colors. This is a small, additional style file that you include in the original mandarin style to change the colors. The example colors are maybe not very useful: I'm a lazy bum so I just RGB-rotated them. You also need a differently colored image for the sidebar bullets.

strawbery.css

To install this theme in the original Mandarin theme, put this file in the htdocs/mandarin/ direcotry and add this line on top of htdocs/mandarin/style.css:

@import url(strawberry.css);

Also put this image in the htdocs/mandarin/img directory.

Chocolate

A theme in the color of a fresh... chocolate. Included in the mandarin archive, just uncomment the line:

@import url(chocolate.css);

Plum

You like pink and violet? This is a theme for you. Included in the mandarin archive, just uncomment the line:

@import url(plum.css);

Discussion

Usability: is it possible to remove or place the messages, like the one that appears after editing a page, somewhere else? Maybe move them at the top of the content page like in the Modernized theme? If you are searching for a page and the wiki doesn't find it, you have to clear the message before you can search again, because the message box covers the search field. Things are even worst if you are mainly using the keyboard to access links instead of the mouse. Another option would be to just move the search field, in the sidebar, maybe? I love how easy it is to configure the sidebar. aless 2010-09-02 14:32:21

You may want to try div#message, p.status { position: static; }. For moving the message box to the top of content area, I think the only way is editing theme code to send it after gotobar.

I found a bug or missing feature: I use moin from Debian and installed the mandarin theme. Now I found out, that the line "#pragma section-numbers XXX" is ignored. I do not want to have section numbers for all pages. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? -- Jeronimo 2009-12-01 13:26:00

Supporting MoinMoin 1.9

Your PageAction, necessary for the theme is not working with 1.9, see my error log:

RenatoSilva - Solenoid theme has added 1.9 support to that action.

I applied the patch, thank you. -- -- RadomirDopieralski 2010-01-17 17:01:07

The RecentChanges macro works with other themes. Any idea to fix the problem?

Solenoid bugs related to Mandarin

Hi Radomir, I have just created a not-mandarin tag to use together with mandarin in the Solenoid bug tracker at Laucnhpad. I have tagged all bugs in Solenoid which are not related to Mandarin as not-mandarin. This way, the links below can be used to track common bugs, I thought they could be useful for Mandarin:
