thank you Jérôme,
I have gotten bit further there. Thanks to a filter I was able to add the skin
parameter when the session could say which skin to use.
This makes the skin:
- decided according to the user agent string at the first hit
- stored in session and consistent there, even if links do not mention the skin
name
- changeable by an intentional action of the user (namely: add parameter
skin=xxx to change it)
This implemented in:
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/currikiorg/blob/curriki-1-15/plugins/servlet/src/main/java/org/curriki/xwiki/servlet/SkinChoiceFilter.java
I would have preferred to write into the xwiki context if I could. But I have
not found a way for a filter to be wired in a way that can get the xwiki
context. Would there be one?
thanks in advance.
Paul
