I understand $HTMLStylesFmt to list css attributes, which get injected into styles.../styles tags in the page's HTML head section (to put it briefly). So an admin or developer can use $HTMLStylesFmt[] = some HTML selectors with css attributes; to add these attributes to the $HTMLStylesFmt array and thus inject them into the styles tags. It just means adding a new element to the array. If you give it a name, like $HTMLStylesFmt['mycss'], then it will be added to the array with that key name, instead of a numerical key. This is useful for situations where otherwise it may be added several times with the same css atributes, to avoid such repetitions. I used that in markup functions, where the same markup may be used several times in a page. ~Hans ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users

There were in fact several things wrong with your code:
1. missing quotes
2. wrong function: PageTextVar() is used to exctract a PTV

The suggested workaround for exclusion patterns (at least in my

exclude anything. A workaround for this is to use $SearchPatterns
in the config.php file. This worked well for me.
For example, to exclude all groups having a - in their name:
$SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!^[A-Za-z]*-[A-Za-z]\.!;
I know this will not work if the group names have special or
international characters in their name, but it should be easy to
adapt.

Well, I think I am sure. I can cut and paste, in case my eyes are too

function GlobToPCRE($pat) {

}
return array(implode('|', $incl), implode('|', $excl));
}

When I tried to test pieces of this code on my web page, the line

gave a syntax error. It worked as in the manual with a few other

I tried that in GlobToPCRE, but it didn't help. So I am confused.

Actually, either function works, as PageVar calls PageTextVar. It is
probably mildly faster to call PageTextVar directly though.
3. use of $pagename: use $pn rather than $pagename as $ pagename may

Not sure about this. Is $pn globally available? Not sure, but it doesn't

That's correct when calling PageTextVar. But called from PageVar, then
the $:myvar format is used.

Easiest way to learn is to print the content of the array. it's not clean and might cause some errors, so only do this on a dev environment, but simply add this to a skin.php file: print_r($HTMLStylesFmt); Then view the source of the web page to see the content of the array. Good idea. I remember doing that in a tutorial, way back when. (I'm a binge user. A week or two intense, then forget everything over the next six months.)

why don't you just set the color attributes in

css file is to have one location for changing atributes
site-wide. There is realy no need to set a color attribute
via a php variable, unles one wants to dynamically

~Hans
The current site uses only one set of colours, so it's easier to keep
them in the style tag and only deal with one file. I've used separate
css files before, but it's overkill for this one.
The reason I want a variable is if I use #006600 for several different
elements (H#, A, HR, various borders) then want to try #007700, I have
to change each and every occurence. Yes, I can use the editor's
search-and-replace, but a variable seems more elegant. Separating it
into a separate css file wouldn't change that.
I could do the style as
H1, H2, ... A.hover
{color:#006600;}
so the color number occurs only once, but I suspect there's a reason
I've never seen a file done that way.
Now to stop chatting and start experimenting.
Thanks,
Sandy

Experiments done for now. Several things work in group.php but not
testskin.php.
I'd like to start with all the skin code in the skin folder so it can
easily be moved between farms. Further customizing can then be done in
either php file, depending on the setup of the new farm.
Result of experiments: Very confused, especially the last result. Must
learn more about skin.php files and experiment more, and re-read the php
tutorials. Trying to learn too many things at once.
Thanks for the help.
Sandy
Results of experiments:
-
$color1 = '#00cc00';
$HTMLStylesFmt['my_skin'] = h1 {color:$color1;} ;
works in the group.php, but not in testskin.php .
-
in group.php:
$FmtPV['$color1']='#00cc00';
then in .tmpl
style
h1 {color:$color1;}
/style
works.
Same thing in testskin.php gives this html:
h1 {color:gold1;}
Suspect $FmtPV['$color1'] is being over-ridden by a recipe. No clue
which one.
Try testskin.php again, with different variable name. Resulting .html is:
h1 {color:$Sandy1;}
One has $ and one doesn't. Probably means something to someone who
finished the php tutorials.
--- -
add to each php file:
print_r($HTMLStylesFmt);
Works in group.php. Doesn't work in testskin.php.
add line of garbage to testskin.php
yes, the file is being called.
in group.php:
$FmtPV['$sandy1']='#00cc00';
in testskin.tmpl
style
h1 {color:$FmtPV['$sandy1'];}
/style
Resulting html:
h1 {color:$FmtPV['#00cc00'];}
Rechecked that one with different variable names three times. Offically
confused.

MyGroup.Quotes. The format of the page is:
[[#quote1]]
Here's quote 1
