Removing the sidebar #45
Comments
There isn't any setting now, but XOWA externalizes as many configurations as possible in its config files. The process is a bit complicated, but you should have full control. In this case, you can edit the format in C:\xowa\bin\any\xowa\cfg\app\xowa.gfs . Note the following:
With these disclaimers out of the way, please try the following:
You'll probably also want to tinker with the CSS files. Each wiki saves its css in C:\xowa\user\anonymous\wiki. For example, English Wikipedia is in C:\xowa\user\anonymous\wiki\en.wikipedia.org\html\en.wikipedia.org\html Finally, you can always do the following to review changes
Hope this helps. Thanks. |
Thanks for the detailed reply. The Apart from this I had to change the xowa_common.css, did a find for the following tags
and changed the left margin of each to 1em (it was 10 or 11em earlier) and that scaled the content to fill into the empty space of the sidebar.
Would certainly be interested to know this. |
Cool. Thanks for documenting this.
Sure, here are the steps:
Basically, any "command" in xowa.gfs can be entered into the text box. Keep in mind that this feature is not guaranteed to be backward-compatible and will break someday in the future when I migrate gfs to javascript / mustache. This will probably not happen for at least several months, but it's something to be aware of. Hope this helps.

I'm going to mark this issue closed, as there are workarounds to remove the sidebar. Feel free to reopen if there are any further questions. Thanks. |
Hi Again!
Is there any config / setting in XOWA that can hide / remove the sidebar in Wikipedia from rendering in XOWA.
If there isn't?, how complex would it be to implement this functionality. I know you are absolutely busy at this point of time and that you are currently focusing on the mobile version.
But if you can point out to the relevant sections of the codebase that we can look into to achieve this objective it would indeed be very nice.
Thanks in advance.
