Hello everyone,
My native language is German so my English is not very well. I still hope you understand me. I send a German and an English version of my request.
I want to create a dynamic sidebar for my wiki (http://wiki.de.grepolis.com/wiki/Hauptseite). Wikipedia has this dynamic sidebar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) I mean. With dynamic sidebar I mean that there are "categories" in the sidebar (in the Wikipedia sidebar "Interaction" e. g.) and they are collapseble and expandable. The Vector extension offers a dynamic sidebar (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Vector#CollapsibleLeftNav). We have installed the Vector extension (http://wiki.de.grepolis.com/wiki/Spezial:Version) but the sidebar has not changed automatically. Can you say what I have to do that this works?
Just the best for you!

Hallo zusammen,
ich würde gerne für mein Wiki (http://wiki.de.grepolis.com/wiki/Hauptseite) eine dynamische Sidebar haben. Wikipedia hat so eine (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite). Mit "dynamischer Sidebar" meine ich eine Sidebar, bei der man die "Kategorien" (bei Wikipedia z. B. "Mitmachen") ein- und ausklappen kann. Die Vector-Erweiterung bietet diese dynamische Sidebar (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Vector#CollapsibleLeftNav) und ich habe sie deshalb schon installiert (http://wiki.de.grepolis.com/wiki/Spezial:Version). Nun ist aber die Sidebar nicht automatisch gleich dynamisch, wie ich sie gerne hätte. Was muss ich jetzt noch tun, damit sie wirklich dynamisch wird?
Beste Grüße!
Wow, your wiki looks great!! It seems that your beautiful skin is based on Monobook. The Vector extension does anything only for wikis that are based on Vector skin. ----- Yury Katkov

Hi!
To be honest it it not my wiki. I am the single one admin of it. ;)
Can I create a "dynamic sidebar software" for my skin? How? Another one says that I can look how Vector solves this and can "copy" it with a few changes. The problem is that I have no idea how to ...

You need to edit the localsettings.php if you want to change the default skin to vector. Have a look at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDefaultSkin
and

Are you kidding? Change THAT skin to a mere Vector? ----- Yury Katkov

Well, the "Vector"-Extension does nothing if you are not using Vector. His skin is based on Monobook. So either he uses Vector and applies his changes to it (which doesnt look that hard), or he keeps on using his Monobook-based style and tries to add some Vector-elements, which could be harder...
Technically it's absolutely true. But in fact the collapsible sections in the sidebar are not hard to implement yourself on Monobook, using jQuery. So I advice to hire a javascript developer to do that. ----- Yury Katkov
