Hi Eva, At Sitka we have separate skins for each of the libraries in our consortium, each with its own domain name. To make this work, our Apache configuration includes virtual host entries for each skin, more or less as described in the documentation here:
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.8/_how_to_override_templates.html See the section "Apache configuration for each virtual host (eg.conf)" at the bottom of that page. The OILSWebTemplatePath variable specifies which skin to use for each virtual host. Looking at those examples, anyone who visits http://br1.concat.ca would see the OPAC skin for BR1, which uses the template files located at /openils/var/templates_BR1. In this way, the skin you see is determined by what URL you use; it doesn't depend on whether you are logged in or not. To specify a default location for each skin, you can use the "physical_loc" environment variable in your Apache config. For example, if BR1 had a library ID of 4, you could add this line to the virtual host block for BR1: SetEnv physical_loc 4 Hope that helps!
