What do you mean ? Are you looking at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Skins ? Is there anything unclear ? > Then there is the problem of default behaviour.

You actually do have access to the .vm through your browser. >From >http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Skins#HD.OverridingtheSkincomponents : ----------------------------------------8<---------------------------------------- Copy the original content of the menuview.vm template and paste it in the property field named menuview.vm. If you don't have access to the server filesystem, open the template by following http://localhost:8080/xwiki/skins/colibri/menuview.vm ----------------------------------------8<---------------------------------------- Of course you need to replace localhost:8080 in the URL above by the URL of your wiki. Now, putting my XWiki-Cloud-Admin hat on, I must say that it is not recommended to make this kind modifications in your skin. The cloud platform is upgraded every 3 month on average. If the original VM file has been modified in the new release your skin might be broken after an upgrade. -- Jean-Vincent Drean, XWiki. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
