The SkinPerNamespace extension allows to specify a per-namespace skin that can be configured in $wgSkinPerNamespace, but this will also override users preferences, to avoid this you can set $wgSkinPerNamespaceOverrideLoggedIn to false.
InstallationEdit
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
SkinPerNamespacein yourextensions/folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
wfLoadExtension( 'SkinPerNamespace' );
- Configure as required.
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
ConfigurationEdit
You can configure this extension with the following variables:
$wgSkinPerNamespace- array mapping namespaces index (i.e. namespaces numbers and not names) to a skin name. Use all lower case name for skin, like monobook, modern, ... otherwise it simply won't work. Example:
$wgSkinPerNamespace[NS_TALK] = 'timeless'; $wgSkinPerNamespace[NS_PROJECT] = 'monobook';
Note: You can find the constants in includes/Defines.php.$wgSkinPerSpecialPage- skins for special pages, mapping canonical name (see
SpecialPage::$mListin SpecialPage.php) to skin. This overrides$wgSkinPerNamespace[NS_SPECIAL]. Example:$wgSkinPerSpecialPage['Search'] = 'vector'; $wgSkinPerSpecialPage['Recentchanges'] = 'modern';
$wgSkinPerNamespaceOverrideLoggedIn- if set to
true(default value), it will also override the the skin for logged in users, to avoid this you can set it to false and$wgSkinPerNamespacewill only apply to anonymous users.
