Hi, Everybody,
I apologize if this is a noob question; I actually consider myself pretty good at digging this type of thing up but after hours upon hours of googling I'm still unable to come up with an answer to what I would think would be a seemingly simple question to answer. Basically I am building a personal website and I would like to use media wiki to store some documentation that I am generating. I have a little menu bar at the top of my page; its pretty simple, just HTML & CSS with tables generated by PHP. If you really want to see it you can just go here http://128.135.217.176. Nothing fancy. Anyway, what I would like to be able to do would be to 'in-line' an article into this page, but without having to use frames or anything like that. The 'body' section of my page is basically just a cell of a table. So the actual 'in-line' PHP code would have to be between a couple of <td> tags.
Anyway, it seems pretty easy to do this using for example, wordpress, using the integration features described here. http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website. Is there a way to do anything like this with a mediawiki article?
I apologize if this is such a silly question.
Thanks,
Dan
Transclusion is what you're after I believe.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Transclusion
Basically, you have an articles named Cat that you want displayed on the front page, so you would literally add the following to your front page: {{:Cat}} - be warned that doing so will include the ENTIRE article. There may be a way to show only a part of the article, but I don't know how to do that.
Hope this helps.

There is: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Labeled_Section_Transclusion

Yeah, I found the documentation on transclusion, but transclusion uses Wiki syntax. I want to include the article in a PHP page that is not actually part of the wiki.

I think one possibility would be to call the mediawiki api from within your php code to get mediawiki to return the wikitext transformed to a form you could then embed in the page you are assembling, possibly with some additional editing in your php.
For instance, I think you could even embed your own custom markers in your wikitext, possibly within <nowiki> tags, to indicate parts that your php could process specially. You should be able to use the already defined includeonly and noinclude markers to accomplish those particular jobs in your php process.

Jim,
Thanks for your reply. This seems like a pretty tough solution. I was hoping for something a little more elegant / easy to use, but I'll take it into consideration.
Thanks,

It seems that you will have to create your own "skin". For details see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning. Basically you take for instance monobook.php in the skins folder, rename it (newskin.php), and reconstruct the HTML code there until it looks as you like. Rename also the folder skins/monobook/ into skins/newskin/ and change main.css there. Once the new files exist you will have to add to LocalSettings.php " $wgDefaultSkin = 'newskin'; " and your wiki will probably look as you want.
Hope that helps
Bernhard
PS: Here you can see my "new skin": http://www.univie.ac.at/rel_jap/an/ (whether it is worth the pain or not is another question...)
