Hello, customization of skins is a very fine solution for changing page structures, cause it survives updates. In pre XWiki 3.1 we edited the global.vm of the colibri skin and our header was shown on all pages, including the login. In XWiki 3.1 there is no global.vm (in colibri) anymore and the skin customizing doesn't work on the login page, so how can we change that page, too?

You can add a new global.vm file under colibri if you want to. It used to be there because colibri needed to override the default one found under /webapps/xwiki/templates/, but since now Colibri is the default skin, it no longer needs to override anything, the other skins (toucan and albatross) have to do the override. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

Hello Sergiu, hello Vincent, so I'll customize the global.vm in the templates directory, thanks for your help! I still would prefer to customize the skin but there's still the problem with the login page (which indeed is no problem at all when I change global.vm). Or is this perhaps a farm problem?

Hello, I managed to solve this one, it's a simple rights problem! I must allow unregistered users to view the default skin and now it is used on the login page, too. Am 14.07.2011 08:11, schrieb Werner Greßhoff:

Hello, did I mention we have a farm, not a single wiki? Then there is something strange: when I edit the header of the main wiki then there the header is shown on the login page, too. But not in the farmed wikis! So I still guess it's the global.vm to customize ... Am 14.07.2011 07:41, schrieb Werner Greßhoff:

Hello, you must look for "DefaultSkin" in the page index and change the rights with the button on the right of the page. When you select the link you can change the page rights for groups, choose the users page and give "unregistered users" the "view" right on the page. Hope this helps! For the XWiki team: it would be great to have that out-of-the-box for DefaultSkin and DefaultColorTheme! Am 18.07.2011 10:35, schrieb jaglenat:
