[xwiki-users] overriding view.vm in own skin
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 ? -- Ruslan Shevchenko GradSoft. http://www.gradsoft.ua

self-moderation: whith ?skin=x additional parameter all works. So: is exists way, where xwiki.defaultskin parameter from xwiki.cfg is incorrect ?

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.

Are you sure about this? I tried locally and it works fine. If the skin is not defined in XWikiPreferences, then the skin from xwiki.cfg (xwiki.defaultskin) is used. Make sure that: - In the administration page, XWiki.DefaultSkin is not present - Or, if it is, you can modify XWiki.DefaultSkin to set the baseskin to your skin (x) - Or, you can put x in the administration page as the global skin and leave xwiki.cfg unchanged
I will submit to JIRA patch wich will fix this issue in nearest time.

When you install Administration application (from svn), then skin prefefrence for any existent user (and newly-created users) is set to defined in XWikiPreferences.xml. (which is XWiki.DefaultSkin) I submitted a path to Administration Application, which fix this problem http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XAADMINISTRATION-8
Make sure that: - In the administration page, XWiki.DefaultSkin is not present - Or, if it is, you can modify XWiki.DefaultSkin to set the baseskin to your skin (x) - Or, you can put x in the administration page as the global skin and leave xwiki.cfg unchanged
Yes. This is possible workarounds. But I think, that default skin must work on fresh install, when we 'does not touch' user prefences by hands.
