View source for MediaWiki talk:Sidebar

== The Invisible Sidebar ==
* Yo, is the sidebar suddenly just not present for anyone else? Because it isn't loading at all for me, and I tried both monobook and default. The sidebar hasn't been edited in close to a year, but it is displaying the default mediawiki sidebar (main page, community portal, etc.). Any ideas what the deal is? --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 15:53, 10 June 2011 (EDT)

== The Firefox plug-in ==

* I'm not sure if it was ever updated, but I updated the search plugin a while ago to use the new logo. I've dumped it [http://psupedia.info/mira/plugins/psupedia.xml here] for the time being since I don't have FTP access to update it on the location linked by the sidebar. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 15:30, 30 March 2008 (CDT)

* Nah, I was trying to get it as a sub-bullet under Events, but apparently that doesn't work in the sidebar. Guess it's ok where you put it, though. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 18:40, 22 April 2008 (CDT)

== Search box ==

Can this please be placed in a more convenient location? It's really annoying to have to constantly scroll down to the bottom of the page to search for anything. If an admin needs a reference, see [[User:Feauce/MediaWiki:Sidebar|my page]] for a suggestion. —[[User:Feauce|Feauce]] 12:36, 21 February 2009 (CST)
* I agree that it is rather annoying. Unfortunately, we are unable to move the search box, as it is automatically placed below all other entries. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 12:56, 21 February 2009 (CST)
::If "* SEARCH" is placed in the Sidebar code, it will force it to a higher position. This is shown in the link from my previous post. —[[User:Feauce|Feauce]] 22:41, 21 February 2009 (CST)
*** Didn't work, even with shift+f5. Reverting now. --[[User:Beatrixkiddo|beatrixkiddo]] 22:59, 21 February 2009 (CST)
*** Yeah, we've tried before, and that doesn't work. Maybe it does on other versions of MediaWiki, I dunno. I'll look into to it when I get time, but we'll have to deal with it for now. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 01:07, 22 February 2009 (CST)
::::That was discovered easily enough. The site is currently running version 1.10, and in 1.13 that functionality was introduced ([http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar#Order_of_elements reference]). So upgrading to the current MediaWiki version would solve that problem, assuming someone is still around that has access... —[[User:Feauce|Feauce]] 13:19, 22 February 2009 (CST)
