Hi Hudy,
Actually, it is the simplest things to do. The menus are build as
**lists**. It means that they are in html something like <ul><li>first
item</li> <li>second item</li>...</ul>
If it doesn't look like a list in the normal wiki, it is because the css
(skins/monobook/main.css) tells no to display the menu list as a list,
but instead, to display it "inline". That is why it looks like tabs.
So, to move the block of edit menu:
Open monobook.php
and change the following block's to the place you want it to appear on
the page:
<div id="p-cactions" class="portlet">
<h5><?php $this->msg('views') ?></h5>
<ul>
<?php foreach($this->data['content_actions'] as $key => $tab)
{ ?>
<li id="ca-<?php echo htmlspecialchars($key)
?>"<?php
if($tab['class']) { ?> class="<?php echo
htmlspecialchars($tab['class']) ?>"<?php }
?>><a href="<?php echo
htmlspecialchars($tab['href'])
?>"><?php
echo htmlspecialchars($tab['text']) ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
</div>
And to let it display as normal list:
change in monobook/main.css
#p-cactions li {
display: inline;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
border-bottom: none;
padding: 0 0 .1em 0;
margin: 0 .3em 0 0;
overflow: visible;
background: white;
}
into this
#p-cactions li {
/* display: inline;*/
border: 1px solid #aaa;
border-bottom: none;
padding: 0 0 .1em 0;
margin: 0 .3em 0 0;
overflow: visible;
background: white;
}
Hope this helps

Well, I guess customizing both. My wiki is set up so
the only skin
choice the users have is monobook.
I noticed you took the edit link from the tabs and put it on the left.
I'm
looking to do the same, except I want the edit link on the top
right. How did you get the edit, history, etc links on the right?
