A TrialSkin. php file - This is where you will put most of the code and define the layout of pages. A TrialSkin. deps. php file - This is a standard file that most likely will contain the same code. It is created to fix a bug with PHP. The trialskin directory - All other files related to your skin should go in this directory, including style-sheets and images. A /skins/trialskin/main. css file which will contain the main stylesheet for the skin - [Optional, but most likely to be needed] Browser specific stylesheet fixes files, such as /skins/trialskin/IE60Fixes. css - [Optional, but preferred]

The head element, which imports style-sheets, scripts, defines the page's meta data, and specifies the title to be displayed in the browser's title bar for the specific page being viewed. The body opening tag. This tag opens the body element of the page and specifies what happens when the page loads or is double clicked if such handlers exist. The site's name block.

This includes style-sheets links, client-side scripts and meta data for robots and browsers. The code included here is a standard code that you might need to modify to include any custom scripts or style-sheets to be included. For this code to work as expected you’ll need to have the following files (you may remove the lines importing any of these style-sheets if you don’t need them): /common/commonPrint. css - style-sheet for printing pages. You might change the path to this style-sheet if you don’t want to use the standard print style-sheet. main. css, contents. css - main style-sheets for your skin. These must be in your skin’s directory (/skins/trialskin in this example) handheld. css - a style-sheet to be used with hand-held devices. IE50Fixes. css, IE55Fixes. css, IE60Fixes. css, IE70Fixes. css - fixes for different browsers. You may copy these files from one of the already-existing skins, most likely you’ll need to change nothing on these files. The last lines, starting at “/*** various MediaWiki-related scripts and styles */ " include user specific, page specific and site-wide specific style-sheets. If you don’t support these features, just remove them all up to the comment. It has been noticed that the $this->html(‘headscripts’) call sometimes causes trouble, so if anything goes wrong try to remove it. In case the code does not work for some reason, you might forget about this code altogether and write your own, including the style-sheet links, scripts, and title tag all written by your own code!html('headlinks') ?>
It closes any opened tags, scripts, php code . . . etc. All following code should be put before this, it should be the last lines of the skin file.
html('bottomscripts'); /* JS call to runBodyOnloadHook */ ?> html('reporttime') ?> data['debug'] ): ?>
