If I understand right, "global $function" only needs to be called once from within a function - can I call this once somewhere in the skin file (which is where I'm putting this) and then just use (for instance) "$wgOut->parse( wfMsgNoDB( 'tools' ) );" On May 22, 2006, at 5:03 PM, Rob Church wrote:

I am trying to find a function that pulls a message from the file rather than the database; but wfMsgNoDB() and wfMsgNoDBForContent() don't work because they don't parse links and wiki markup within the content. I guess I'm looking for a cross between wfMsgNoDBForContent () and wfMsgWikiHtml() - is there such a thing? I really need this to make it easy to maintain skin messages across some 15 wikis, more coming every week...

global $wgOut; return $wgOut->parse( wfMsgNoDB( message, param, param... ) );
