Hmmm this is crazy...

I tried setting...
xwiki.defaultskin=myskin
xwiki.defaultbaseskin=myskin

But it still shows albatross for some reason....

I tried symlinking  albatross -> myskin on the filesystem, and it wouldn't load any skin at all (indicates a permission problem, but not filesystem permissions)

I did....

mv albatross albatross_orig; cp -Rp myskin albatross

and it works at the login page!

Guillaume, I can't edit the login page's access write's. If I login then try to get to the login page, it fowards me to the wiki home page. So I can never get to a position where I can change its access writes.


Never the less, I have a solution. Overwrite the albatross skin with myskin... not the best... but the number of emails on this thread indicates that it is not easy to replace in a clean fashion. I'm happy to call my skin albaross if it means it saves me a day or so's worth of work.

Thanks for everyone that replied and tried to help!

But this will affect to the main and virtual wikis, I guess. Is it
possible to have a customized skin applied to each xwiki login page?

Perhaps it could be possible to use the same method proposed by Guillaume...

http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Snippets/ForceSkinSnippet

But I don't know how to do this with the login page yet. Any help will
be welcome! Thanks.

Cheers,

Ricardo
