Hi, I have searched the docs and the mailinglist archives, but couldn't find an answer to my question, so I hope you can help me: I have created a complete new skin for opensuse.org: http://en.test.opensuse.org/ It has got a 3-column layout on the front page, the rest of the pages have got a 2-column layout. The overall layout of the page forbids to just enter a 3rd column within the content area (that's how we do it on the current en.opensuse.org page), so I have used a simple <?php if (wfMsgForContent( 'mainpage' ) == $this->data['title'] ) { ?> Additional code for 3rd column <?php } ?> within the skin template. Works fine. Next, I wanted the content for the 3rd column to be editable for sysops via the wiki - having to alter the skin template every other day is not an option. So I put the contents into MediaWiki:Mainpagerightcolumn The complete code in the skin template looks like this: <?php if (wfMsgForContent( 'mainpage' ) == $this->data['title'] ) { ?> <!-- Insert right navigation bar --> <?php print wfMsg('mainpagerightcolumn') ?> <!-- End insert right navigation bar --> <?php } ?> Also works fine. The only problem is, that wiki text or extension markup from "MediaWiki:Mainpagerightcolumn" does not get parsed - it is inserted "as is" (see first link in the right column). It's basically the same as if using wiki text in the skin template which also wouldn't work. Is there a way to make it work? -- Thanks Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane (Dogbert)
