To add a skin parameter accessible by Jetspeed, you need to modify:
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.PorletSkin
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.BasePortletSkin
to add your parameter to it.
Just looking at it though, you could possibly not modify it. In the
velocity, you would do something like $skin.get("MYPARAMETER") instead of
$skin.MYPARAMETER
To add your parameter to the SkinForm portlet, modify the
portlets/html/skin-form.vm with
<tr>
<td bgcolor="$!{skin.TitleBackgroundColor}">
<b><font face="$ui.sansSerifFonts">portlet-skin-class</font></b>
</td>
<td bgcolor="$!{skin.TitleBackgroundColor}">
<font face="$ui.sansSerifFonts">
<input type="text" name="parameter.MYPARAMETER" size="20"
value="$!entry.getParameter("MYPARAMETER").value">
</font>
</td>
</tr>
The SkinUpdateAction will automatically pick up the parameter.
I think that this is all that you need to do. I haven't done it myself.
