Wasn't sure how to call this here... so yeah. :'D

If you have an account and you do not like some aspects of the Wikia skin, there's a lot of workaround for this.

I suggest to add them to global.js on Community so that it applies on all wikis. For specific wikis, add it to wikia.js.

If you're interested, you can see Monchoman45's blog on Improving your interface with CSS/JS.

I won't really add bunch of stuff here, as I think Monchoma45's blog covers everything. --D. (talk · contr) 00:20, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Image lightbox

From Forum:Image pop-ups

I've recently removed the lightbox being disabled on the wiki since it probably goes against Wikia's ToU. If you want to get rid of the lightbox, add:

// Removes lightbox
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#WikiaArticle').unbind('click.lightbox');
 
  var a = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
  for ( var t = 0; t < a.length; ++t ) {
    var a2 = a[t];
    var img = a2.getElementsByTagName("img");
    if ( img[0] != null ) {
      if ( a2.href.indexOf("images.wikia.com") != -1 ) {
        var link = wgServer + '/wiki/File:' + a2.href.substring(a2.href.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
        a2.setAttribute('href',link);
      }
    }
  }
});

All images will directly go to their file description page, like before the lightbox was disabled on the wiki (it linked to the image itself instead, which was sort of annoying if you wanted to see the file description).

The code on the community forum post does not work for some reason. --D. (talk · contr) 00:20, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
