Welcome to WebmasterWorld gustotelmy,

>> also tired including it as a php include to no avail

what happened with this? I am guessing that it was like having 2 html pages in one

what level of integration are you looking for? mixing and matching content? or just linking up words?

I managed to do this with includes. Maybe you included in the wrong place?

thank you for the welcome... i tried including it in my body.php file

header.php

leftnav.php body.php

i am not sure why its not working...did you alter any of the templates?

I am trying to get the wiki into the body area with the leftnav and header... however i am sure the templates of the wiki already send <html> and <head> commands so i am not sure how you edited it... please give me some tips as to how i should go about doing this...

i tried including it by changing the index to my site index and including the mediawiki index...

I'm not sure you're trying to do it as I did. I have some general headers and a footer, and include these from within a mediawiki theme, not the other way around. Eg, take the monobook skin and include your site headers there, delete the html stuff where needed.
