Enable Mediawiki’s Vector Collapsible Nav Links in your custom Skin

After a little digging around I found the issue.

My Wiki’s skin was based on the Vector Skin, but shortly after creating mu own skin name and directory, I found out the the collapsible navigation headers weren’t working in my Mediawiki skin

To enable it in your vector based skin, simply edit /extensions/Vector/Vector.hooks.php file around lines 116 you should see this:

[Simply change this portion of code from ]$skin instanceof SkinVector[ to ]$skin instanceof SkinYourSkinsNames[

For me it looks like this ] $skin instanceof SkinMyitcrm[

public static function beforePageDisplay( $out, $skin ) {
if ( $skin instanceof SkinVector ) {
// Add modules for enabled features
foreach ( self::$features as $name => $feature ) {
if ( isset( $feature['modules'] ) && self::isEnabled( $name ) ) {
$out->addModules( $feature['modules'] );
}
}
}
return true;
}

This Board Has No Forums – occurred after deleting inactive “anonymous” user in phpbb3

I accidently removed the Anon user from my phpbb3 forum. After a little searching around the web I found this solution which worked a treat to restore the anon user so guests can now view the forums.

Windows Vista Live Mail bug.

I recently received a call from a client regarding an issue that have with there email client. The issue was described to me as,

“email was stuck and I can’t delete it.”

I have been using various email clients over the years and I never heard about this issue.So I got in my car and went around to there house to see what the problem was for myself.

Upon my arrival and sitting down in front of the computer, It was also made apparent that the client could not send our receive emails as well. This computer was only a week old, Vista home basic installed and things were going pear shaped quickly.
So first of all I checked the email account settings and to my surprise, they had changed from when I initially set them up. Strange? Yes. So I changed the settings back to what I had originally setup and then applied the new settings and tested. It was working again. surprise, surprise. So onto the initial issue on emails being stuck, I tested this for myself and yes, emails could not be removed. I then asked the client if they had installed any new software around the time these issues started. The answer was yes. Windows Live messenger and mail were installed.mmmmm Could this be causing this issue? So I started the Windows Live Mail and the popup window came up letting me now that it was going to check at startup that Windows Live Mail to be the default email client, to which I replied No. I then proceeded again to restart windows live mail and reply Yes this time but to still check everytime it starts.
Guess what happened…….The windows default email client could no longer send or receive emails. I checked the account POP3 and SMTP account properties and it was changed! eg was mail.yourdomain.com to pop3.yourdomain.com and the same goes for the SMTP settings. Windows Live Mail changed these settings for what reason!!!!!! I then made sure that Windows Live Mail was NOT the default email Client and to never ask me again. So what about the undeletable emails? Could this also be linked so that you could not delete the emails from the from any other client except from Windows Live Mail? I was not going to muck around any longer and test this theory out on a client machine.
I made a backup of the Windows Mail folders and files. Deleted them and then imported the windows mail messaged file. Deleted the accounts and reset them. Guess what? I was able to remove the stubborn email. Everything was working as it should have been.
