The Foreground skin focuses on putting your content in the foreground. It supports responsive layouts and has classes predefined for Semantic MediaWiki. Built on Zurb's Foundation Framework (v5.5.3), a "mobile first" and advanced responsive front-end framework.

Highlights edit

  • MediaWiki on top and at the bottom, nothing but content in the middle.
  • Useful Tabs. Built-in and responsive own tabs.
  • Smart Typography. Choose the design of the text that you need.
  • Grid Layout. Place your information efficiently on desktop and mobile devices
  • Full support of Font Awesome (v4.5)

Installation edit

  • Download and place the file(s) in a directory called Foreground in your skins/ folder.
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadSkin( 'Foreground' );
    
  • Configure as required
  •   Done - Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the skin is successfully installed.

When upgrading to REL1_41 make sure that the code is at ../path/to/skins/Foreground/..

Configuration edit

  • Page actions for non-logged-in visitors.
  • Show help and recent changes under tools.
  • Alternate WikiName sets the top navbar name allowing you to abbreviate your wiki's name. Useful if your $wgSitename is long but you need to keep it for other purposes.
  • Display an icon in the top navbar.
  • Able to produce a meta tag with "X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" to force IE to use the latest browser engine. For instances when someone has their browser set in compatibility mode.
  • Output the footer icons or suppress them showing only text.
  • AddThis PubID to enable follow icons in the footer.

See the README file for information on how to install and configure this skin.
