Hi Bruno, I dug into this a while ago but then didn't found the time to push this further. Here is what I've learned
- Switching the main site is not a bit deal. Just add the skin to the site.xml and your good to go. - Switching component web sites to fluido causes two problems: 1. The Apache Logo on the top left site won't show up 2. The copyright footer won't show up This is both related to the commons-skin. The skin is added to the site build via commons parent. The Commons parent project has a site.xml which in inherits to component site (I wasn't aware of this feature before). The link to the Apache Logo is created as a dummy URL and then replaced by some velocity templates in commons parent. It become a relative URL in the end. An easy way to fix this would be to declare the logo on each component website, or use an absolute URL in commons parent. I not sure about the copy right footer atm. Comments in commons parent indicated, that the footer can not inherited the "normal" way from commons parent to the components. This is, because variables like project.namewould be evaluated in context of commons parent and not in context of the component. That would produce a copy right footer with Commons Parent as a project name in it for all components. So the commons skin does the trick for us. Maybe fluido has a possibility to do the trick as well? I don't know. If it's not possible we would end up duplicating the footer into all components. Or we would have to patch fluido. Let me know what you find out! Benedikt 2013/10/27 Bruno P. Kinoshita <brunodepau...@yahoo.com.br> > Hi Benedikt, > > Did you have any luck with this?
