Fiesta Skin

[rberinger]

Downloaded 9.02.1 and did a DiffMerge vs. 9.02.00. Looks like 3 CSS fixes on the Fiesta skin.

I decided to go ahead and do the upgrade to 9.02.1 instead of messing around with modding the CSS files.

Followed these instructions --- problem is now solved.

This fixed me also. Thanks for the tip.

I have exactly this problem, but I would seem to have a later version! version output:

{ build : 1, date : "Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:26:29 GMT", major : 9, minor : 8, revision : 16666, svnbranch : "9.08.1", svnrevision : 16666, text : "9.8.1.16666" }

This issue still hasn't been fixed in the fiesta skin in CMS mode! The page notification button isn't there, and the autosubscribe script doesn't work.

I'm using Core v. 2010

This is one of the main reasons we're holding off on purchasing the full version.

Fiesta is a deprecated skin as of MindTouch 2010. We recommend trying out one of the new beech skins or deuce.

What functionality is in fiesta that you can't find in other skins?

The cmsmode key switches off some buttons and makes it suitable for to use as a webpage for anonymous users.

In my case, colors and CSS that work correctly with all the templates on my site. Changing skins is gonna be "fun". I did a quick test and the "variable width" CSS doesn't seem to work on Fiesta under 10.0.

I have this on my current wiki, works fine:

/* Variable-width for browsers other than IE6 */
.globalWrap { width:auto; }
.header { float:none; position:absolute; }
.body { float:none; margin:0; padding-left:200px; width:auto; }

/* undo the above for IE6 */
* html .globalWrap { width:1000px }
* html .header { float:left; position:static; }
* html .body { float:left; margin-left:20px; padding-left:0px; width:800px; }

Seems to have no effect on a test VM running 10.0.0 (Chrome/Windows).

Other skins are breaking my CSS all over the place. Will probably stay with Fiesta for now, provided I can get the variable-width operationg running again.

Deprecating Fiesta is a pretty big change! I don't see it mentioned in http://developer.mindtouch.com/en/do...elease/Olympic. Is it documented anywhere but here?

We are still in the planning phase for the next release but I have every intention of getting rid of our current skinning engine and putting all our resources behind beechbeta. If this change is solidified for Pipestone then the word will be put out.

Fiesta is reaching end-of-life. Unless there is a big requirement, we'll be moving the skinning engine to Beech for Pipestone. Until then, Fiesta is still an actively supported skin.

Just to throw in some feedback:

If Fiesta is end of life, and Beech is now considered the 'proper' skin as of Olympic, then Mindtouch may want to consider a few things:
- The skin is still named "beechbeta" in the file system and control panel. Not exactly encouraging use.

- There are issues with beechbeta-pale in IE8, on a brand new wiki. The navbar containing "edit", "new" etc expands the whole width of the page.

- Please don't take away the html custom areas! They make it very easy for extensions to be added without having to dig too deep into the code and individual files of the wiki.

Some examples (high resolution) and demos of the skins would be VERY appreciated as well.
