TWiki Skins
Skins are customized
TWikiTemplate files. You can use skins to change the look of a TWiki topic, for example the layout of the header and footer. Note that the renderd text between header and footer does
not change. You can also use skins to define an alternate view, ex: a view optimized for printing.
Skin files are located in the
twiki/template
directory and are name with this syntax:
<scriptname>.<skin>.tmpl
. For example, the
print
skin for the
view
template is
view.print.tmpl
(red color added for clarification).
A skin can be activated in two ways:
- Define the SKIN preference variable in TWikiPreferences, one of the WebPreferences, or a user preference. Ex:
- Add
?skin=name
to the URL, for this example:
The
?skin=name
URL parameter overrides the SKIN preference value.
