Hi guys!

I'm searching the good sidebar extension for MediaWiki project, can anyone recommend something nice? I've tried SidebarEx, NavBlocks, CustomSidebar

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicSidebar

Maintained by myself for use on labsconsole.

Requirements:

1. Full MediaWiki markup support;

It supports the same level of markup as the normal sidebar.

2. show different content for different groups of users;

It handles this.

3. show different content for different categories. Or maybe using the

sidebar calls inside the Templates that will then be invoked on the pages, creating sidebars that are speciafic for the given page;

It does not support sidebars specific to a given page. It would be necessary to disable sidebar caching to do so.

Feel free to add this, but make it optional via a config option if you do so.

4. nice appearance.

It looks and acts like the normal sidebar.

5) ideally live project that is supported by developers

I maintain it and am happy to take changes in Gerrit.
