Vector provides enhancements to the Vector skin

This extension requires MediaWiki 1.17+ because it makes use of ResourceLoader.

Example LocalSettings.php additions

require_once( "$IP/extensions/Vector/Vector.php" );

1. Before configuring this extension, see Vector.php and become familiar with the initial state and structure of the
2. $wgVectorFeatures configuration variable. Essentially it's an array of arrays, keyed by feature name, each containing
3. global and user keys with boolean values. "global" indicates that it should be turned on for everyone always, while
4. user indicates that users should be allowed to turn it on or off in their user preferences.

To enable a preference by default but still allow users to disable it in preferences, use something like...

$wgDefaultUserOptions['vector-collapsiblenav'] = 1;

1. By default, the Vector skin does not use the simplified search box. To take advantage of the simplesearch feature you
2. must add this to your LocalSettings.php file.

$wgVectorUseSimpleSearch = true;
