Member Function Documentation

◆ buildContentNavigationUrls()

SkinApi::buildContentNavigationUrls ( )
protected

a structured array of links usually used for the tabs in a skin

There are 4 standard sections namespaces: Used for namespace tabs like special, page, and talk namespaces views: Used for primary page views like read, edit, history actions: Used for most extra page actions like deletion, protection, etc... variants: Used to list the language variants for the page

Each section's value is a key/value array of links for that section. The links themselves have these common keys:

  • class: The css classes to apply to the tab
  • text: The text to display on the tab
  • href: The href for the tab to point to
  • rel: An optional rel= for the tab's link
  • redundant: If true the tab will be dropped in skins using content_actions this is useful for tabs like "Read" which only have meaning in skins that take special meaning from the grouped structure of content_navigation

Views also have an extra key which can be used:

  • primary: If this is not true skins like vector may try to hide the tab when the user has limited space in their browser window

content_navigation using code also expects these ids to be present on the links, however these are usually automatically generated by SkinTemplate itself and are not necessary when using a hook. The only things these may matter to are people modifying content_navigation after it's initial creation:

  • id: A "preferred" id, most skins are best off outputting this preferred id for best compatibility.
  • tooltiponly: This is set to true for some tabs in cases where the system believes that the accesskey should not be added to the tab.

◆ buildNavUrls()

SkinApi::buildNavUrls ( )

Returns

◆ buildPersonalUrls()

protected

Returns

Reimplemented from SkinTemplate.

Definition at line 60 of file SkinApi.php.

◆ buildSidebar()

SkinApi::buildSidebar ( )

Build an array that represents the sidebar(s), the navigation bar among them.

BaseTemplate::getSidebar can be used to simplify the format and id generation in new skins.

The format of the returned array is [ heading => content, ... ], where:

  • heading is the heading of a navigation portlet. It is either:
    • magic string to be handled by the skins ('SEARCH' / 'LANGUAGES' / 'TOOLBOX' / ...)
    • a message name (e.g. 'navigation'), the message should be HTML-escaped by the skin
    • plain text, which should be HTML-escaped by the skin
  • content is the contents of the portlet. It is either:

Note that extensions can control the sidebar contents using the SkinBuildSidebar hook and can technically insert anything in here; skin creators are expected to handle values described above.

Returns
array
