Code Blocks

-External Redirect

{{#externalredirect: WEBSITE GOES HERE}}

To edit an external redirected page, use https://moha.wiki/w/index.php?title=PAGE NAME GOES HERE&action=edit

Labeled Section Transclusion

This piece of code can bring in a section from a page, for example if the page is "CATS+" and it has a section named "About" (as defined by ==SECTION NAME==) you could use the code {{#lsth:CATS+|About}}

{{#lsth:PAGENAME|SECTIONNAME}}

For a full breakdown of this tool go to: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion

Embedded Video

The extension EmbedVideo can be used to embed video from sites like Youtube, Vimeo etc... The full parameters you can call are as follows:

EmbedVideo does not recognize the video service "service".

for example for a youtube video you could use the following code

</nocode>

How to use intro box

A good option for this is to use the CSS Grid. https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/

I've marked the necessary HTML and CSS with comments in the Codepen for reference. https://codepen.io/Nick-Sergent/pen/mdQKbaZ

The gist: The client will need to add the image within the "moha-start-section" div of the Artist Start page. Keep in mind that this needs to be after the "moha-start-section-content" div. This will place the text content and image next to one another in the "moha-start-section" div. We then use CSS to set those elements in a grid structure and define column widths that make it responsive for different screens.

That is this line: grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(320px, 1fr));

If the client would like to adjust the breakpoint at which the text content and image break onto two lines they can change the pixel value in that line.

If the client needs a more detailed explanation of what's going on, this article explains the responsive CSS. https://css-tricks.com/look-ma-no-media-queries-responsive-layouts-using-css-grid/

The following CSS was added to the stylesheet for this element

/* start page intro image setup */
.moha-start-section {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(320px, 1fr));
}

.moha-start-section > p {
	margin-bottom: 0;
}

.moha-start-section .image img {
  object-fit: cover;
  max-width: 100%;
  max-height: 430px;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  float: right;
}

This is your start page intro code:

Below you'll find guides and information for artists interested in getting involved at MoHA.

Articles

The Article form is here: https://moha.wiki/Form:Article

To assign Articles to other categories, add those categories as subcategories of the. Put this code on the needed category page (see https://moha.wiki/Special:Categories). Multiple levels are supported:

Category:Article ---|- Category:Subcategory1 [[Category:Article]] ---|---|- Category:Sub-Subcategory1 [[Category:Subcategory1]] ---|---|---|- ... and so on

Inline semantic query

For something like a program page, to pull in the "Program short description" use the following code to pull in just the respective short description

{{#ask: [[Program name::CATS+]] | ?Program short description | format=list | link=none | headers=hide | mainlabel=- }}

Embedded images

To use an image that is responsive to screen size in the embed use the following format

[[File:FILNAMEHERE.JPG|class=img-fluid|from [[EVENT NAME]], a [[PROGRAM NAME]], YEAR]]

or for a practical example

[[File:MoHA 20221217 TheShabooming 0623.JPG|class=img-fluid|From [[The Shabooming]], a MoHA [[Holiday Show]], 2023]]
