Skins

The Skins section handles style sheets (CSS 2 or CSS 3) used to customise the skin of portals. A series of style sheets exist by default. However, it is possible to add extra style sheets via this menu. An example of a style sheet is supplied in the appendices.

When the Skins section is chosen, it is possible to:

  • add new skins,
  • modify an existing skin,
  • delete a skin.

The list of skins displays and presents:

  • the names of the groups,
  • their default skin status,
  • their Description.

Adding a skin:

The Create displays the skin addition page, and proposes:

  • an option to edit the skin Name, this name being a logical name used subsequently in the application to change the style in the wizard,
  • an option to edit information about the skin Description,
  • the choice of File to use, by entering the file access path, the name and extension of the skin to add,
  • editing the CSS style sheet in a memo parameter provided for that purpose.

The Save button saves the creation. To cancel the creation, you need to reselect the Skins section or any other section in the Administration module.

Modifying a skin:

Clicking on the name of an existing image displays the modification page and proposes:

  • entering the Annotation name, this name being a logical name used subsequently to call or change the annotation via the Appearance drop-down list,
  • an option to edit information about the skin Description,
  • the choice of File to use, by entering the file access path, the name and extension of the skin to add,
  • editing the CSS style sheet in a memo parameter provided for that purpose.

The Save button saves the creation. To cancel the creation, you need to reselect the Skins section or any other section in the Administration module.

Deleting a skin:

To delete a skin, proceed as follows:

  • click on the name of an existing skin, in order to display the modification page,
  • click on the Delete button.
