Re: [xwiki-users] overriding view.vm in own skin

On Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:50:41 +0300, Mihails Agafonovs wrote Yes, of course. Where was the problem: when skin is not set, xwiki look in user preferences for user skin. With new administration application, when skin is not set, 'XWiki.DefaultSkin' is returned (instead ""), and xwiki try to find file in skin with name 'XWiki.DefaultSkin', than go to base skin.

I will submit to JIRA patch wich will fix this issue in nearest time. Question to community: what's better ? a) change XWiki.java to process XWiki.DefaultSkin as no-skin ? b) change intialization of user preferences to return "" or null instead XWiki.DefaultSkin, when default skin is not set. > Quoting rssh : On Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:02:20 +0300, rssh wrote > > Good day, community. > > > > Small question about customizing xwiki: > > - I want to customize skin, by creating own skin (with name > 'x'), > > After reading > http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Skins > > I do next sequences of steps: > > > > a) creating directory <xwiki-base>/skins/x, > > b) copying all files from touckan to x > > c) changing default skin in xwiki.cfg grom touckan to x > > d) copying file templates/view.vm to x > > e) customizing view.vm (writing onethins inside) > > > > Last step does not work; i. e. if I change view.vm, nothing > changed > > in xwiki. > > > > So, question: it is such problem with my installation, or I > missed something > > during creation of skin ? > > > self-moderation: whith ?skin=x additional parameter all works. > So: is exists way, where xwiki.defaultskin parameter from xwiki.cfg > is > incorrect ?
