The MoveToSkin extension allows skin designers to specify areas of the skin which can hold content defined within the Wiki article. By using the parser function {{#movetoskin}}, content defined in the article body can be moved to anywhere in the skin without relying on clientside JavaScript.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called MoveToSkin in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  require_once "$IP/extensions/MoveToSkin/MoveToSkin.php";
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

Wiki page

In your articles, use the parser function {{#movetoskin:target|content}}.

• The first argument, *target* is a unique name you can use in the skin to show this content.
• The second argument *content* is the content you want to move.

You can use the same target multiple times.

Skin code

Use the static method MoveToSkin::getContent() in your skin to grab an array of all the content, indexed by target name. You can then use this to output the content wherever you choose. Eg.

$content = MoveToSkin::getContent();
if(isset($content['target name'])){
	foreach($content['target name'] as $c){
		echo '<div class="something">'.$c.'</div>';
	}
}
