Migration notes
 Warning: | If you can avoid using this hook, please do. Seek more specific hooks such as Manual:Hooks/SkinAddFooterLinks wherever you can. |
This hook is deprecated since 1.35 (T60137)
Developers using this hook should instead:
- Use Manual:Hooks/SkinAddFooterLinks if adding a link to the footer
- To pass data to a BaseTemplate skin for rendering use OutputPage->getProperty and OutputPage->setProperty alongside one of the OutputPage hooks.
- To update user messages, use Manual:Hooks/GetNewMessagesAlert.
- To force an empty portal to display in the sidebar use Manual:Hooks/SkinAfterPortlet and return a non-empty string
- For extensions which depend on other skins (for example BlueSpice / Chameleon) the skin should provide its own hook. See phab:T254300 for an example.
Example
$wgHooks['SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec'][] = function ( &$skin, &$template ) {
$template->set( 'key', 'value' );
$someVar = 'asdf';
$template->setRef( 'key', $someVar );
$template->data['key'];
return true;
};
