New subject: [xwiki-users] changing some layout details in a single page

17 Mar 2008

Hi,

Couldn't changing the skin/look and feel of a page be done from a menu pull
down/ selection to make that functionality more accessible to non-coders?

Regards,

Richard

A shorter code:

#if("$!request.skin" != "myskin")
$response.sendRedirect($doc.getURL("view", "skin=myskin")
#end

 Oh! How powerful is this stuff! The "only" problem is to know how to use 
 all the resources this framework provides us.

 Don't you think this must go to Code Snippets?

 Thank you so much,
