Hello,
I would like to ask you about having one instance of xwiki (one database) in two different
layouts. I use xwiki for documentation of our product and I need to have two different
layouts of xwiki. The first one with all navigation and information panels and the second
one only in a simple style without all these panels (e.g. similar to print style
(print.css) in xwiki).
Do you know if it is possible to have one instance (one database) of xwiki in these two
different layouts?
Thank you very much for your answer,
Zuzana Zapletalova.

Hi Zuzana,
XWiki uses skins to customize the layout of the pages. You can look at
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Skins for more
information.
A skin can be applied at the space level, so it seems to be what you need :
2 different spaces with different layout in one xwiki instance.
A simpler way, if you just want to change the panels, is to define a custom
presentation at the space level (in the space administration).
Regards,
Maxime

Allow me to add two simple but effective tricks, in this cases using
some Velocity code, giving the user a nice customized experience:
1. Control what users can see a given panel based on her/his group
membership:
Sample panel code (after a message from Raluca Stravo; XWiki 1.0 syntax):
#set($groupDoc = $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.TheGroupSeeingThisPanel"))
#if($groupDoc.getObject('XWiki.XWikiGroups', 'member',
"$context.user"))
Panel content
#end

It seems that isUserInGroup has some issue in 2.4.
2. Apply a different skin on a per page basis.
Sample code to be copied in your page (XWiki 1.0 syntax):
#if("$!request.skin" != "XWiki.YourSkin")
$response.sendRedirect($doc.getURL("view", "skin=XWiki.YourSkin"))
#end

Hope this helps!

Yes, you can write two different skins, and switch between them either
using user preferences (setting a skin just for one or some users), or
programatically on some conditions, by changing templates/stylesheets.vm
