4. Creating collapsable rows
This was a surprisingly difficult task. The first issue is that it requires the creation of many templates for it to work effectively as it does on Wikipedia.
- The first step was to install the extenstions and templates recommended by ETCWiki http://www.etcwiki.org/wiki/Install_infobox
- Copy the Mediawiki:Common.css in to my Wiki
- I built the collapsable navigation boxes based upon the Navbox template (and associated templates)using the information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Navbox
- The navigation boxes were correctly formatted but were not collapsable. I read that a java script query was needed and that was included Mediawiki:Common.js. I copied the source my wiki but upon refreshing the browser I was getting jQuery errors and the show/hide collapsable box was still not working. One webpage suggested added additional script to the Mediawiki:Common.js. but this did not work
- I then followed the steps on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Collapsible_tables and completely replaced my Mediawiki:Common.js with the code suggested here. I did not make the second change to Mediawiki:Common.css that was suggested.
- I created and tested the navigation box successfully as below
