Forum:Fetch wiki content from outside

Hello, I am trying to make a way to view certain parts of my wiki from an outside page (Mac JS X). My idea is to have a stripped-down, text-only view of Category:Content in the page I created, so that I (and my visitors) could browse Geekipedia from my site with the special wiki browser I made (if you visit Mac JS X, you can see the browser from the Finder icon). Does anyone know how this could be accomplished?

Thanks! -- MoscowModder 05:04, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Lol. This page is totally geek! :P Good work. I suggest two options:
 * You access wiki pages with useskin=chick. You can try it or useskin=myskin, and specify custom CSS in MediaWiki:Chick.css or MediaWiki:Myskin.css to hide all the content you don't want to display. This would also affect people that have those skins set in their preferences.
 * Create a new page and use the CategoryTree extension to show there those categories. And acces that page using action=render, that shows only the article content, without any skin. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 10:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks! CategoryTree and action=render will work perfectly.  And by the way, why do you think I call it Geekipedia?  Lol :D   -- MoscowModder  13:54, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Check that... the Javascript that powers the CategoryTree doesn't work in action=render. I'll try myskin next.
