Questions:

Why is the PmWiki default skin page footer part of the template rather than a wiki page?

How do I make a page footer that is a PmWiki page like the side bar?

Answer: Follow the instructions below

Description

Change the PmWiki skin template (.tmpl) file to use a wiki page as footer. This may apply to other skin ? template files as well, but some use already a Wiki page for the footer.

1: change the PmWiki skin template

Replace the lines close to the end of the template file (eg pmwiki.tmpl)

<div id='wikifoot'>
  <div class='footnav'>
    <a rel="nofollow" href='{$PageUrl}?action=edit'>$[Edit]</a> -
    <a rel="nofollow" href='{$PageUrl}?action=diff'>$[History]</a> -
    <a rel="nofollow" href='{$PageUrl}?action=print' target='_blank'>$[Print]</a> -
    <a href='{$ScriptUrl}/$[{$Group}/RecentChanges]'>$[Recent Changes]</a> -
    <a href='{$ScriptUrl}/$[{$SiteGroup}/Search]'>$[Search]</a></div>
  <div class='lastmod'>$[Page last modified on {$LastModified}]</div></div>

with the lines

<div id='wikifoot'>
  <!--wiki: {$DefaultGroup}.Footer {$Group}.Footer {$SiteGroup}.Footer-->
</div>

2: create the page Site.Footer

Use the following as the basis for your site page footer

(:Summary: Website page footer:)
(:div class='lastmod' style="font-size:smaller;":)
$[Page last modified on {*$LastModified}]
(:divend:)
(:div class='footnav' rel='nofollow' style="font-size:smaller;":)
%rel='nofollow' class=edit    accesskey=$[ak_edit]%     [[{*$FullName}?action=edit  | $[Edit] ]] -
%rel='nofollow' class=diff    accesskey=$[ak_history]%  [[{*$FullName}?action=diff  | $[History] ]] -
%rel='nofollow' class=print   accesskey='$[ak_print]'%  [[{*$FullName}?action=print | $[Print] ]] -
%rel='nofollow' class=changes accesskey='$[ak_recentchanges]'% [[{*$Group}/RecentChanges | $[Recent Changes] ]] -
%rel='nofollow' class=search  accesskey='$[ak_search]'% [[{$SiteGroup}/Search | $[Search] ]]
(:divend:)

This will give the same result as the standard PmWiki page footer.

Notes

This footer first shows any footer in the default group ($DefaultGroup) and alternatively the footer from the site group ($SiteGroup}.

This recipe provides an obvious improvement to the flexibility of PmWiki by making the page footer customisable in a similar way to the side bar.
