There must be something in the layout or on the system causing this
to appear. Normally this causes Main.GroupFooter to be included on
a page, but something is preventing the (:include ...:) from being
properly processed. Same for Main.GroupHeader. I'll have to look
a bit -- I've not encountered this particular problem before.

In the local/config.php file, set
$DefaultName = 'StartSeite';
or, if you just want to set the default of the main page (used when
accessed without a pagename), try
$DefaultPage = 'Main.StartSeite';

For each group you can create a sidebar called Group.SideBar, which is
used instead of Main.SideBar when it exists.

Set up an InterMap reference: [[http://www.spampal.org | Local:eng.gif]] .

In your local/config.php, change the setting for $UrlLinkFmt to whatever
you want for the external URL.

Put the alt-tag in quotes after the image name, as in
http://www.example.com/image.gif"Alt tag text"
All of the variables mentioned above are described in more detail
at http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Variables . Note that none
of the changes you've described require modification to any of
the scripts that come with PmWiki.
