00001 Skins, such as the default skin Vector, are distributed separately. Drop them
00002 into this directory and enable as per the skin's installation instructions.
00003
00004 You can find a list of available skins at
00005 <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:All_skins>,
00006 and more information about installing and configuring skins at
00007 <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_configuration>.
00008
00009 If you are a developer, you might want to fetch the skin tree in another
00010 directory and make a symbolic link:
00011
00012  mediawiki/skins$ ln -s ../../skins-trunk/FooBar
00013
00014 Most skins are available through Git:
00015     https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/?filter=mediawiki%252Fskins%252F
00016     https://git.wikimedia.org/project/mediawiki
00017
00018
00019 Please note that under POSIX systems (Linux...), parent of a symbolic path
00020 refers to the link source, NOT to the target! You should check the env
00021 variable MW_INSTALL_PATH in case the extension is not in the default location.
00022
00023 The following code snippet lets you override the default path:
00024
00025  $IP = getenv( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' );
00026  if( $IP === false ) {
00027     $IP = __DIR__ . '/../..';
00028  }
00029  require_once "$IP/maintenance/Maintenance.php"; // a MediaWiki core file
