Bootstrap Simplified Template - BROKEN

BROKEN! Hasn't been updated in years! But look at typowiki, looks like a near exact replacement

Please clean and simple template.

• https://www.dokuwiki.org/template:dokubootstrapsimplified

• https://github.com/badeendjuh/dokubootstrap-simplified

• https://github.com/badeendjuh/dokubootstrap-simplified/archive/master.zip

typowiki Template

template:typowiki [DokuWiki]
https://www.dokuwiki.org/template:typowiki

Download - https://github.com/axlevxa/typowiki/releases/download/1.4/v1_4-typowiki.zip

Github - https://github.com/axlevxa/typowiki

This is a simple template in the modernist vein, which I have mixed feelings about. It is designed to match the look and feel people are familiar with and be comfy to read on a desktop or phone. It also is simpler to understand at-a-glance than some other templates.

raw Template

Minimal minimal template - like minimal!

template:raw [DokuWiki]
https://www.dokuwiki.org/template:raw

Github - https://github.com/rsnitsch/dokuwiki-template-raw

Install - Find in the module search or download at https://github.com/rsnitsch/dokuwiki-template-raw/archive/master.zip

The template focusses on the content such that the reader is not distracted by any other page elements. The wiki buttons (login, edit this page, latest changes etc.) are placed in the bottom right corner and they're almost invisible unless the mouse is move specifically to that corner.

Also, the template is supposed to be used for private websites (homepage etc.). For this reason, some of the wiki buttons are permanently disabled (invisible), e.g. recent changes.

If you want a search, add this to the bar__bottom in main.php:

<form><input type="hidden" name="do" value="search"><input name="q" type="text" value=""><button value="1" type="submit">Search</button></form>

Ad-Hominem Template

chown -R www-data dokuwiki-template-ad-hominem-2023-09-09

Not terrible. The section editor at least highlights the section.

Hydrogen Template

Download - https://bitbucket.org/petrkajzar/wikipraktik/get/main.zip

Very clean and simple. Centered screen template. Mostly minimal cruft on screen (only search on top, tools hidden on bottom).

WikiPraktik is a simple reader-oriented responsive template for DokuWiki. It offers basic configuration options for changing the main color theme and customizing the footer. You can find these options in the settings menu of your DokuWiki instance.

If you want to have a sidebar menu, please note that it will be placed above the text, so use a horizontal line of links (see screenshot for example).

Note: "If you prefer having your edit button beside the header, see the plugin editsections2"

Hacks

Hide Footer

Edit dokuwiki/lib/tpl/dokuwiki/tpl_footer.php

<!--
<div class="buttons">
...
</div>
-->

or

empty the tpl_footer.php file

http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/dokuwiki/change-dokuwiki-appearance/removing-footer-buttons-text

Hide Last modified

Comment out the tpl_pageinfo() call in the appropriate template file

# lib/tpl/bootie/main.php - line 112

<?php //tpl_pageinfo() ?>

Disabled Old Revisions

Disable the button in the config

• Disable DokuWiki actions - Old revisions

Old revisions will still be generated, but won't be accessible.

To disable generation of old revisions, comment out the io_writeWikiPage in the function saveOldRevision():

inc/common.php
1370c1370
<     io_writeWikiPage($newf, rawWiki($id), $id, $date);
---
>     //io_writeWikiPage($newf, rawWiki($id), $id, $date);

Issues

utf8_encode is not available

PHP function utf8_encode is not available. Maybe your hosting provider disabled it for some reason

Test:

php -r 'print utf8_encode("fooo");'
