Can anybody from the CMF team give some guidance to Laurence here?

In Plone ResourceRegistries (1.1 branch) I need to get the current skin
name so that the resource (a css or js file) is fetched from the correct
skin. Unfortunately it seems that there is no easy way to get the
current skin name (when it is not set by a cookie in the request). I can
work around this like follows, but it's a bit ugly:
security.declareProtected(permissions.View, 'getCurrentSkinName')
def getCurrentSkinName(self):
"""Returns the id of the current skin.
Ugh, there really should be a better way of doing this. This is
depending on internals in CMFCore and should be added there.
"""
skintool = getToolByName(self, 'portal_skins')
default_skin_name = skintool.getDefaultSkin()
tid = get_ident()
if SKINDATA.has_key(tid):
skinobj, ignore, resolve = SKINDATA.get(tid)
current_skin_path = skinobj.getPhysicalPath()
#
# Perhaps test against default skin first?
#
skinnames = skintool.getSkinSelections()
# loop through skin names looking for a match
for name in skinnames:
skin = skintool.getSkinByName(name)
path = skin.getPhysicalPath()
if current_skin_path == path:
return name
return default_skin_name
Would it be reasonable to make
Skinnable.SkinnableObjectManager.changeSkin set the skin request var
name after changing the skin? Such as:
security.declarePublic('changeSkin')
def changeSkin(self, skinname):
'''Change the current skin.
Can be called manually, allowing the user to change
skins in the middle of a request.
'''
skinobj = self.getSkin(skinname)
if skinobj is not None:
tid = get_ident()
SKINDATA[tid] = (skinobj, {}, {})
REQUEST = getattr(self, 'REQUEST', None)
if REQUEST is not None:
REQUEST._hold(SkinDataCleanup(tid))
sfn = self.getSkinsFolderName()
if sfn is not None:
sf = getattr(self, sfn, None)
if sf is not None:
REQUEST.set(sf.getRequestVarname(), skinname)
Then getSkinNameFromRequest would work happily. Or is the a better way
to do this?

Laurence
