Grismar's EVE Wiki : WikkaWakkaIGB

Wikka Wakka Wiki

This article describes how to get a Wikka Wakka Wiki to play nice with the IGB.

Installing the Wiki

To get started, install the wiki on your webserver as a regular wiki, for regular browsers. The Wikka Wakka Wiki website has further instructions on that.

IGB Style

The main problem with getting the wiki to work is with style. If you avoid percentage signs (%) in the css, that makes the stylesheet at least compatible with the IGB. You should be able to view the wiki with the IGB if you remove all lines containing '%' from the wikka.css file.

It will take quite a bit of extra styling to make the page actually look good in the IGB. And then some more to make it look similar in a regular browser and the IGB. You're welcome to use my stylesheets as a starting point, but change the colors to get a different look and feel if you do, to avoid confusion. You need the eve.css and http://eve.grismar.net/css/igb.css files.

By changing the "stylesheet" setting in the wiki configuration file to:

You can have the proper stylesheet be selected, based on the $ingame variable (see below).

IGB integration

To get your wiki to cooperate more closely with the IGB, you can download a small archive with files I've added and modified. Just replace the originals if you're using version 1.1.6.2 of the Wikka Wakka Wiki, or study the differences otherwise.

With the files installed, you can use the $ingame variable in the pages to detect whether the ingame browser is displaying a page. The Wakka_eve class will render showinfo links as well as regular http, ftp, etc.

The autotoc action will allow you to include brief table of contents at the start of your articles, automatically generated based on your headings.

Other functionality on this site

Some other functionality, like the skilltrees, relies on my database and I haven't included the code for those in the above files.
