First, when installing a skin any file in the folder unless of a type
that is excluded, will be imported. Here's the current exclude list:
$exclude =
".html,.css,.jpg,.gif,.png,.db,.htaccess,.txt,.php,.js";
.js was just added (engine.php, line 899) so it may not be in yours
yet. We could add more if I forgot some.
Second, for page naming, this would be an excellent thread to read:
http://groups.google.com/group/boltwire/browse_thread/thread/3680bae6e842df20/9bfda9cfaa3f7056
But in short, just name your skin zone pages top.skinname,
topnav.skinname, etc. You can also do topnav.forum.skinname, for a
custom topnav page in the forum hierarchy, or a
topnave.blog.january.skinname... You could also just use topnav, but
if another skin uses that page, or it's in their wiki for some reason,
you would overwrite the page and they couldn't revert to their other
skin (Of course, it should be name topnav.otherskin).
When skins install, there is no overwrite notice like with plugin
backup files. On the other hand, when you turn on the skin, everything
gets imported, and displays immediately, on submit. And you can easily
switch between multiple skins within the wiki. Or by simply resetting
$BOLTskin in a config.php file.
There is nothing like PmWiki's pagestore's capability. Everything is
kept in the pages in directory, with careful use of page naming
schemes to get things done. I've had requests for a way to have the
wiki access the skin folders pages, but have resisted it so far.
Cheers,
Dan
P.S. Can't wait to see your projects...
