This is brilliant it even works on a site that I coded myself.

[...] pretty closely, but now I want to add in the BuddyBar across the top. I found these directions: http://teleogistic.net/2009/10/displ…-applications/ They don't seem to work for me. Anyone have any other resources or ideas? Or should I just laugh [...]

I guess some of the tags got stripped out of the above comment. The bottom line is that I edited mediawiki as follows:
1. I added the div before the tag by editing the bottomScripts function in /includes/Skin.php
2. The scripts in the header had to be added to the actual skin file. So for the default skin, I added the lines to /skins/MonoBook.php
3. The toolbar on top overlapped some of the menu and there was a gap between a couple of elements. I modified /monobook/main.css to move the body up 30px and the globalwrapper down 50px.

Boone – you can delete my prev comment.

Aha! I had literally just realized that you had to have the jQuery in the right order about 2 minutes before reading your comments! I have updated the instructions accordingly.

Glad it’s working for you!

Thanks for the response – I got it working. The pb thing was a problem for me. After fixing that, I still didn’t get an alert after adding in that test line. I had inadvertently put the jquery script line after the bp-bar-integration line so jquery was loaded, just not *yet*. Thanks again for the help. Some small css work on mediawiki and I’ll be in business!

Hi Aaron. It's hard to know without seeing your setup, but it sounds like jQuery's not getting loaded correctly. Try sticking a test line like alert("Hello"); right before the wikiIntegration.initLoad line. If it works, jQuery is working and there's something wrong with the wikiIntegration function. If not, your path to jQuery might be wrong. Someone drew it to my attention that there's a typo in the bp-bar-integration.js file I uploaded last night. The path in the first line of the wikiIntegration function reads /pbnavslug/ instead of /bpnavslug/. See if that's affecting you. (It's been changed in the zip file.)

Boone – thanks for the tutuorial. I would have never figured out that method. I gave it a shot, but couldn’t get it working. The div is going in properly before the /body tag and the script calls and stylesheet are getting pulled in, but the bp-bar-integration.js is failing at this line:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
wikiIntegration.initLoad();
});

Any ideas?
