The problem is the skins on the site are all compatible with the 3.xx
series. The 4.xx series uses a different format--so the skins need to be
updated. :( Fortunately, the task is not too difficult. Here are a few
basic steps that should get you started:
1) Change code.skin.butterfly to code.skin.butterfly.html and put in your
pages folder.
2) Change skin variables like $$color to {color}. This was to make them
more consistent with other vars in BoltWire. If you want to you can add
custom variables as "field: value" pairs in page code.skin.butterfly which
then can be called into the skin as needed, like title, description, or
whatever. This gives you some nice flexibility in modifying the skin.
3) Change code.style.butterfly to code.skin.butterfly.css. Better yet, just
move it to your files folder or somewhere else and just call it style.css
and link to it in the skin like you would in a normal website and get rid
of the <<style>> tag in the html file.
There may be some other things to update but these were the main ones I can
recall right off. See if this doesn't get you up and running.
As for not reverting back to the default skin when a skin is not
found--I'll look into that. BoltWire should back out of a faulty setting
more gracefully than what you experienced. Sounds like a good bug catch.
Cheers,
Dan
P.S. Note most of the site is still 3.xx friendly and not yet 4.xx ready.
That includes plugins, etc. The 4.xx code is much improved but most of our
developers are still doing 3.xx sites. Unfortunately, don't know when we
will make that leap and make it happen.
