User talk:Bob/script/addlimenu.js

Overview

This script gives you the ability to add on-click drop-down menus to the p-cactions (tabs) in the monobook skin.

Usage

Importing the scripts

You'll need to import the library by adding the following to your monobook.js:

importScript(User:Bob/script/addlimenu.js);

Also, some CSS is needed. Add the following to your monobook.css:

@import "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Bob/script/addlimenu.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css";

Adding a menu

An LI menu in action

Adding a menu is easy — use the function addLiMenu(), which accepts the arguments tabText and position, and returns the <li> (tab) element on which items will be attached. The second argument is optional.

To add items to the menu, use the addPortletLink() function:

var menu = addLiMenu('this is a menu');
addPortletLink(menu.id, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page", "Main Page");
addPortletLink(menu.id, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page", "Main Page Talk");

Useful scripts

Get page name and talk page name

Sets the non-talk page to the variable thisPage, and the talk page to thisTalk, and the current one of the two to currentPage.

var namespaces = new Array("",           "Talk:",           "User:",     "User_talk:",
                           "Wikipedia:", "Wikipedia_talk:", "Image:",    "Image_talk:",
                           "MediaWiki:", "MediaWiki_talk:", "Template:", "Template_talk:",
                           "Help:",      "Help_talk:",      "Category:", "Category_talk:",
                           "Portal:",    "Portal_talk:");

/* set the page and talk page names for use throughout the page */
if(wgNamespaceNumber % 2 == 0) { // if it's not a talk page
  var thisPage = namespaces[wgNamespaceNumber] + wgTitle;
  var thisTalk = namespaces[wgNamespaceNumber + 1] + wgTitle;
  thisPage = encodeURIComponent(thisPage);
  thisTalk = encodeURIComponent(thisTalk);
  var currentPage = thisPage;
} else {
  var thisPage = namespaces[wgNamespaceNumber - 1] + wgTitle;
  var thisTalk = namespaces[wgNamespaceNumber] + wgTitle;
  thisPage = encodeURIComponent(thisPage);
  thisTalk = encodeURIComponent(thisTalk);
  var currentPage = thisTalk;
}

User info

Creates a 'user info' menu on user/user talk pages.

    /* if we're in the userspace, add more info */
    if (wgNamespaceNumber == 2 || wgNamespaceNumber == 3) {
      if ( wgTitle.indexOf("/") == -1 ) {
        var uname = wgTitle;
      } else {
        var uname = wgTitle.substring(0, wgTitle.indexOf("/"));
      }
 
      var userMenu = addLiMenu('user info');
        addPortletLink(userMenu.id,wgServer+wgScript+'?title=Special:PrefixIndex&from='+uname+'/&namespace=2', 'userspace');
        addPortletLink(userMenu.id, 'http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?site=en.wikipedia.org&username='+uname, 'edit count');
        addPortletLink(userMenu.id,wgServer+'/wiki/Special:Contributions/'+uname,'contribs');
        addPortletLink(userMenu.id,wgServer+wgScript+'?title=Special:DeletedContributions&target='+uname,'deleted contribs');
        addPortletLink(userMenu.id, wgServer+wgScript+'?title=Special:Log&user='+uname,'user log');
        addPortletLink(userMenu.id, wgServer+wgScript+'?title=Special:Log&type=block&user='+uname,'block log');
        if (caDelete) addPortletLink(userMenu.id,wgServer+"/wiki"+'/Special:Blockip/'+uname,'block');
    }
