User talk:Subfader/Hide page tabs

Per namespace

I want to hide tabs only in a specific namespace. Is there any way to realize this? Best regards, --Tkrueger73 18:57, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, added. --Subfader 21:01, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

"New-section"-link

Could somebodey tell me what the tab-name of the "New-section"-link is...?? I tried everything ... --Dennis07; (☎ / √) 17:09, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

I guess you mean the [+]? Then it's #ca-addsection: <li id="ca-addsection"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Manual_talk:Hide_page_tabs&action=edit&section=new" title="Start a new section [alt-shift-+]" accesskey="+">+</a></li> --Subfader 15:19, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Vector Skin

I am using the vector skin, I want to hide the View History and View Source only for anonymous users, it says to paste code in Monobook.php / above </head>

In vector.php there is no </head> or I cant find it I am sorry, where should I paste a mod

I think it should be around "// Adds history view link" is it?

God it's complex in there, I may break something Thanks for any help

Actually </head> is missing in MonoBook.php too. Thus I am also a bit stuck. Doing a small rework of the instructions would be really cool. Cheers --[[kgh]] 12:06, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

It was indeed replaced by $this->html( 'headelement' );. Above <div id="globalWrapper"> is fine too. What else is unclear in the instructions? --Subfader 21:54, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Hey Subfader, thank you! That is the kind of small rework I had in mind. :) It works perfect. I additionally inserted a typing error too, so my experiments were destined to fail. Thus I thought there is more to it. The instructions a straight forward. Cheers --[[kgh]] 23:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm confused in MediaWiki 1.19, because I can't find "globalWrapper" in Vector.php. I want to disable "View Source" and "View History" for Anonymous readers. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 12:01, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Per usergroup

Hi, i would like to hide history tab for a group of user How can i configure my MediaWiki:common.css page? --Eva 11:17, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Implementing on Common.css rather than Monobook.php

Hi. I've tried implementing your code to restrict certain users from seeing the History tab, but it didn't work. Is it because I use Common.css instead of Monobook.php? Are there changes to the code I should be using instead? Thanks!

You can't get PHP code (for the conditional clauses) in a CSS file working. As long as MediaWiki doesn't supply according CSS classes in the body tag, you will have to hack MediaWiki core code or edit the skin file. --Subfader (talk) 23:30, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

How would I remove "read"

Thanks and please reply on my talk page so I get notified!

PHP Syntax Error

Hi, after inserting one of your PHP examples into my Vector.php file my page fails to load. I enabled debugging in my LocalSettings.php file. It displays the following on page load:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /var/www/html/w/skins/Vector.php on line 157

Below is where I inserted the code sample in my Vector.php file (line #s included):

   155                 // Output HTML Page
    156
    157<!-- No [view source] tab for anonymous users -->
    158 <?php global $wgUser; if( $wgUser->isAnon() ) { ?>
    159       <style type="text/css">
    160         #ca-viewsource { display: none !important; }
    161       </style>
    162     <?php } ?>
    163
    164                 $this->html( 'headelement' );

This is the error I receive when I put your code (lines 157-162) after the $this->html ( 'headelement' ) (line 164)
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /var/www/html/w/skins/Vector.php on line XXX
http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.paamayim-nekudotayim.php
SOLUTION= replace the -> on line 158 above with ::
Should look like this in context of the Vector.php file:

   160                 $this->html( 'headelement' )
    161
    162 <!-- No [view source] tab for anonymous users -->
    163 <?php global $wgUser; if( $wgUser::isAnon() ) { ?>
    164       <style type="text/css">
    165         #ca-viewsource { display: none !important; }
    166       </style>
    167     <?php } ?>
    168
    169 ?>
    170                 <div id="mw-page-base" class="noprint"></div>
    171                 <div id="mw-head-base" class="noprint"></div>

hi, I can't find Common.css in my mediawiki installation. any clue?
