Changing graphics

The original Photoshop files of the skin graphics (mainly background images) are attached to PatternSkinGraphics.

Hide content in print

Use the hideInPrint class to hide specific content from printing. Example: 

<div class="hideInPrint">

</div>

Supported browsers

PatternSkin has been tested successfully on the following browsers:

Though not thoroughly tested, PatternSkin works fine with Google Chrome at least from 2013.

Attaching files

With HTML5 capable web browsers, the Attach page of this skin provides a drag and drop feature. You can click the drop area to use a file dialog box. In the dialog box, you can select multiple files at a time. This drag and drop feature uses DropzoneJS JavaScript libary.

With the other browsers, the Attach page shows a button to pop up a file dialog box. You can select only one file at a time.

You can upload up to 10 files at a time. File uploading starts when you click the "Uplaod file" button. Before that, you can remove a file from the upload file list by clicking a "Remove file" (on HTML5 capable web browsers) or a removal icon (on HTML5 incapable web browsers).

Specifically, the drag and drop feature works with the following web browsers.

In case you want to disable the drag and drop feature with an HTML5 capable browser, you can do it by setting DROPZONEJS_DISABLE "on". To do it at the web level, the following line is to be put on WebPreferences. 

   * Set DROPZONEJS_DISABLE = on

Installation

Note: You do not need to install anything on the browser to use this skin. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the skin on the server where TWiki is running.

Note 2: PatternSkin is included with TWiki by default. Use the following instructions only if you are upgrading PatternSkin.

Troubleshooting

If you have set the SKIN variable setting to pattern and you still don't see the layout as on the screenshot, a few settings in may have been disabled.

Check these variables here:

If TWIKILAYOUTURL or TWIKISTYLEURL don't give a value or point to non-existing files, check in TWikiPreferences that the following variables do exist and that they are set to on: 

   * %SYSTEMWEB%.PatternSkin settings:
      * Set TWIKILAYOUTURL = %PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkin/layout.css
      * Set TWIKISTYLEURL = %PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkin/style.css
      * Set TWIKICOLORSURL = %PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkin/colors.css

NOTE: customization of these values should be done in Main.TWikiPreferences

If this still does not work, contact the administrator who installs skins.
