Dear All
Skinning is making good progress (thanks for advice!)
I have begun to make a new panel for the main navigation which is to be
fixed on all pages.
I need some advice on the structure please.
I understand what a space is, but not sure what I would use it for. I have
to create a front page that has boxes that can be edited - so it has to have
a different look to the rest of the pages. Should I create a new space for
the other pages (or are they sections - calender, consortium partners,
reports, forum etc...) you can see at
http://www.4eyesdesign.co.uk/CAASTwiki02/ if it helps.
Would that mean that I could then create the different look that I need?
Or is using spaces the wrong way - perhaps I need a new class??? (Have done
faq tutorial, and have some experience of oop)
Would appreciate any pointers
thanks
Edward

There are 2 main benefits I see from using a space :
- You can group related pages together under the same URL (all your pages
in the Consortium space will read xwiki/bin/view/Consortium/PageName )
- You can apply a skin at the space level, meaning that you could change
the color of your skin between your different spaces for instance
- You can create a homepage for each of your spaces
From what I've seen the only customized page you
really want to have is the
main page of your wiki. The ideal solution to your issue
would be to use
Skin Extensions, but I'm not sure they're ready yet. In the meanwhile you
can define specific CSS classes in the skin of your wiki and use them only
on the homepage. Another, nastier solution would be to use <style> your CSS
here </style> items right on your homepage...
Would that mean that I could then create the different
look that I need?
As I wrote above you can apply the same skin to all spaces or the skin of
your choice for each space.

Thanks for a useful reply
I like the idea of creating specific css classes. How do I add a specific
class to a xwiki entry that appears only on the homepage?

Just edit this page and give a tag an appropriate id/class (). And
don't use such historical "items" like tag FONT.
