The columns can be separated by a thin black line. Just change the value of the border-right or border-left operator to 1px. It looks best having the border set at 0px for the shorter column and 1px for the longer.

WIKI CODING TIPS

The following examples can be used for reference when coding Wiki pages. Please don't alter this page.


TABLES

To generate a quick Wiki table, create a spreadsheet using some external program like Excel or OpenOffice, then copy the cells and paste them in at this website: Spreadsheet to Wiki Converter. The generated text can then be copied and pasted into a Wiki page.

(Note that if you want borders, the table markup will typically not render them on empty cells. A couple of ways around this are to do a search and replace in your spreadsheet software to look for empty cells and replace them with period. Normally, in normal HTML markup, you would use a non-printing space (&nbsp ;) but the converter at the above website converts them to spaces, thus negating your efforts.)


CITATIONS

The extension Cite.php has been added to this WIKI.

Information on this extension can be found at Cite by Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason


The following example code will allow references to be added as footnotes.

==MY TOPIC== Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt<ref>John Brown, Annals of Something Something, (American Press, Jan. 1802): 121-4</ref> ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

GOOGLEMAP CODE

This Wiki is using Evan Miller's GoogleMap extension

The following is the correct code for the googlemap extension. The first gives a street map zoomed out enough to give a good idea of where the location is in the general scheme of things. The second is a satellite view zoomed in for better detail. (Note that I've removed the "e" from google so that the code could be displayed.)


<googlmap lat="41.455802" lon="-81.700117" type="map" zoom="12" controls="large">
41.455802, -81.700117, Riverside Cemetery in Cleveland, OH, USA
/Info\       3607 Pearl Rd, Cleveland, OH 44109-2301
/Directions\ [http://maps.googl.com Click here] to get driving directions
</googlmap>
<googlmap lat="41.455802" lon="-81.700117" type="satellite" zoom="16">
41.455802, -81.700117, Riverside Cemetery in Cleveland, OH, USA
</googlmap>


  • Note that the marker is set by the line following the first set of tags.
  • Zoom levels are 0 thru 17.
  • Map types can be 'map', 'satellite', 'hybrid'
  • Controls are 'small', 'medium', or 'large'
<googlmap lat="41.455802" lon="-81.700117" type="map" zoom="12" controls="large">
41.455802, -81.700117, Riverside Cemetery in Cleveland, OH, USA
/Info\       3607 Pearl Rd, Cleveland, OH 44109-2301
/Directions\ [http://maps.googl.com Click here] to get driving directions
</googlmap>
<googlmap lat="41.455802" lon="-81.700117" type="satellite" zoom="16">
41.455802, -81.700117, Riverside Cemetery in Cleveland, OH, USA
</googlmap>

Occasionally and frustratingly, Google will report that the key is invalid and say that you have to go generate a new one even though there shouldn't be any reason to suspect your key has a problem. The way to correct this is to add ?action=purge to the end of the Wiki's URL directly after "index.php5".


BOX CODE

The following is a sample quotebox as is used on this Wiki:

"...the quoted material is entered here and should appear in italics."

--BOOK TITLE by The Distinguished Author's Name

An alternate style:

<div style="color: #000000;background-color: #C9E4E4;padding: 5px;margin: 10px;border: thin dotted #759BAE;"> Quoted material goes here. </div>

Quoted material goes here.

Still another boxed text style:

<div style="padding: 5px;border: thin solid #666666;margin: 5px;font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 82%;"> Text within a box is demonstrated here. </div>

Text within a box is demonstrated here.


COLUMNS

TWO COLUMNS

This is a demonstration of breaking the page up into two columns. The left column will have no background color, whereas the right column will have a light blue and have a slightly smaller text size. The columns can be separated by a thin black line. Just change the value of the border-right or border-left operator to 1px. It looks best having the border set at 0px for the shorter column and 1px for the longer.

How to code it:

<div style="float: left;width: 70%;border-right: 0px solid #000000;padding-top: 10px;padding-right: 15px;">
This is the left column<br>
{{lipsum}}</div>

<div style="float: left;width: 20%;border-left: 1px solid #000000;padding: 10px 0px 0px 15px;font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 82%;background-color:#F0F8FF;">
This is the right

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
</div>
<br style="clear:both">


What it looks like:

This is the left column

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

This is the right

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.



THREE COLUMNS

Use the following HTML code to create three columns of text.
Note that the text does not automatically wrap and fill the columns. You'll have to do that yourself and possibly be required to provide linebreaks where necessary to prevent run-on lines..

How to code it:

<div style="... width: 33%; float:left;">
'''column one text'''<br>
a<br>
b<br>
c<br>
</div>
<div style="... width: 33%; float:left;">
'''column two text'''<br>
m<br>
n<br>
o<br>
</div>
<div style="... width: 33%; float:left;">
'''column three text'''<br>
x<br>
y<br>
z<br>
</div>

What it looks like:

column one text
a
b
c

column two text
m
n
o

column three text
x
y
z


ADD NEW EDITING BUTTON

1. Create new .png button and upload to /skins/common/images
2. Add new array to /includes/EditPage.php (around line 1683 in version 1.6.10)

gfx on the right

[[image:YMCA.jpg|frame|30px|center|gfx centered]]<

EXTERNAL IMAGES and TEXT WRAPPING

To use an image from another part of the server and have text wrap around it on the right, code the URL as follows. Note that a small padding of 20px was added to create a pleasant spacing between the image and the text.:

<p style="float:left;padding:20px;"> http://zodiacal.com/barbarowa/trees/photos/Fish,%20James%20Sr.jpg </p>

Follow the image styling with your text outside the paragraph closing tag.

IMAGES AS LINKS

This Wiki is using the extension Click as found here: Click extension

(Note that this extension is now considered obsolete because the functionality has been added to the newer Wiki version 1.14. This site, however, hasn't been upgraded to that version yet. Sandy)


The following shows a full size image linked directly to a wiki page other than the image display page.

{{Click |image = Sbbanner_320.jpg |width = 300px |height = 149px |link = St._Barbara_Church |title = Go to St. Barbara Church page. |desc = top-right }}

Go to St. Barbara Church page.



The image can be also be reduced in size.

{{Click |image = Sbbanner_320.jpg |width = 150px |link = St._Barbara_Church }}

St._Barbara_Church


Galleries

To place a collection of images onto a page, use the <gallery> </gallery> tags. Here is an example of its coding. Note that the default for the gallery is four pictures per row.


By altering the gallery tag with one additional parameter, you can increase (or decrease) the number of pictures that display per row. The tag for the following reads as <gallery perrow="5"> .
