Installing

Add to your LocalSettings.php

wfLoadSkin( 'smfcurve2' );

To set as the default skin:

$wgDefaultSkin = "smfcurve2";

Customizing

We provide a few simple and more advanced methods to customizing the skin.

Simple

Adding the forum main menu

Add to your LocalSettings.php (After your wfLoadSkin line)

$wgsmfRoot = '/path/to/forum';
$wgshowSMFmenu = true;

Adding the Wiki logo where the SMF logo shows

$wguseLogoImage = true;

Adding the search to the sidebar

$wguseSideSearchBox = true;

Advanced

To do more advance customizing, several files can be changed. However they are designed to allow extending the base skin.

First set in your LocalSettings.php

$wgDefaultSkin = "smfcurve2custom";

You can modify the following files depending on your needs:

• /inclues/smfCurve2SkinCustom.php
• /inclues/smfCurve2TemplateCustom.php
• /resources/script/custom.js
• /resources/css/custom.css

We have included some sample code to show how modifications may be made.
