Making a wide Welcome Visitors page

[opn]

So the CSS is here: https://github.com/fedwiki/wiki-client/blob/master/client/style.css

It would seem that to enable a wide Welcome Visitors page - but only when it is the first page in the lineup - we want to use the nth-child() CSS selector (set to 1) for the Welcome visitors div? Any thoughts?

What would be nice is to have a place in /status where custom css could be added on a per site basis?

Try adding something like

.main > #welcome-visitors:first-child:not(.remote) {
  width: 600px;
}

This will select Welcome Visitors if it is the first item on the page, and it is not from a remote site.

Let's factor css into three files:

1. The must have styles that work well with core client and common plugins.
2. The host's local styles used for every site in a farm, including login specific stuff.
3. A site specific style template copied from a reference version into /status upon site creation.

Let's also work out a user customization workflow where one chooses styles from a catalog or makes their own from scratch cascading from 1 and 2 above. This would supplement Flagmatic for customizing a new site.

A new server install would replace 1 and have some upgrade process for 2 and 3.
