Brilliant! Question: Why did you decide to put the skin variables like <nowiki>{{ACTIONS}}</nowiki> into the global MediaWiki variable namespace instead of using wikiskin-specific tags along the lines of <nowiki>@@ACTIONS@@</nowiki>? [[User:Ehartwell|Ehartwell]] 00:07, 11 July 2007 (NZST)

Thie following LocalSettings code is the current way I'm using to server public website or private wiki based on subdomain (it must be added after the WikiSkin extension is installed. If in ''wiki'' subdomain, then users are required to login to view any page at all. Once logged in, standard wiki skin is used with all personal links, and actions. If in the ''www'' subdomain, actions, personal and catlinks etc are not sent to client, and all actions except ''view'' and ''raw'' are disabled, there is no login required, but any pages not in the ''Public'' category return a ''404''.

I've loaded the extension, activated it in localsettings, and added the recommended Mediawiki:WikiSkin article. However, when I view pages, they all look like the classic skin layout instead of the Monobook layout. I noticed in the WikiSkin article that it references the division IDs of "column-content", "content", "bodyContent", and "column-one". On my wiki, these are defined in /skins/monobook/main.css, and it is this definition that makes the columns appear where they do in Monobook. However, I can't see where your extension is loading /skins/monobook/main.css and I can't see where else it might be loading these division specifications to show a skin which behaves like monobook.

It's still in beta state, but is working ok, just save the code into a file and include the file from your localsettings.php, but make sure your skin article is created first (the name of the article is set in $wgWikiSkin, the default name for the article is WikiSkin). OrganicDesign and our other wikis use it, OrganicDesign:Default-skin is the $wgWikiSkin article on it. We're just using it to replicate the standard monobook layout currently, but it's been developed for use with MW:Extension:Wiklets which is a desktop-like skin where different articles and forms work like windows on a desktop. --Nad 21:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
