Hi Andrew,

To check whether the problem is rights-related (it might be if the skin page is stored in the wiki), go to your Skin page with an Admin account, click on edit -> page access rights, and then tick the view right for Unregistered users.

This will make only that specific page viewable (which does not matter much) and might solve your problem.

If this trick solves the issue, it would mean you problem stemmed from the fact that XWiki refused to display the contents of the page to users who didn't have the rights to see it, therefore preventing your skin from being parsed & used. I'm not sure that's it but it might be worth a shot :-)

Hope this will work,

Guillaume

This must not be needed. I think twicking default albatross and/or
Toucan skins is by no means advisable... I've done this and having a lot
of problems afterwards. And it is quite difficult to decide later if the
problems comes from a modification in the default files or newly created
files.

I've found this in Jira... http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/CHRONO-274
It seems that some kind of rights assignment could be related with what
we are seeing.

Perhaps some more information will help other to have a clearer idea
about this issue. And help us to open a Jira Issue about it.

1. What XWiki release are you using? Any product on top of it? What
installation (standalone, war)?
2. Have you modified xwiki.cfg skin related parameters? Here what do
they read by default:

xwiki.defaultskin=toucan
xwiki.defaultbaseskin=albatross


I am seeing the same behavior in some virtual wikis running on a XE 1.3
installation. Each virtual wiki has its customized skin but I have not
modified xwiki.cfg. Thus, any CSS or JS not found in the customized skin
folder is picked up from Albatross. But if I set Always authenticate on
viewing: to yes, Toucan is used to render the login page.

To see this solved will also help me!

Cheers,

Ricardo
