Thanks for a useful reply I like the idea of creating specific css classes. How do I add a specific class to a xwiki entry that appears only on the homepage?

There are 2 main benefits I see from using a space : - You can group related pages together under the same URL (all your pages in the Consortium space will read xwiki/bin/view/Consortium/PageName ) - You can apply a skin at the space level, meaning that you could change the color of your skin between your different spaces for instance - You can create a homepage for each of your spaces >From what I've seen the only customized page you really want to have is the main page of your wiki. The ideal solution to your issue would be to use Skin Extensions, but I'm not sure they're ready yet. In the meanwhile you can define specific CSS classes in the skin of your wiki and use them only on the homepage. Another, nastier solution would be to use <style> your CSS here </style> items right on your homepage... > Would that mean that I could then create the different look that I need? As I wrote above you can apply the same skin to all spaces or the skin of your choice for each space. > Or is using spaces the wrong way - perhaps I need a new class???

Hope this helps, Guillaume _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
