GnuSkin Download & Installation Instructions

Briefly:

• Download the ZIP file from the Plugin web (see below)
• Unzip GnuSkin-1.0.0.zip in your twiki installation directory. Content:

• Check any of the topics, e.g., the GnuSkin topic to verify installation.
• Test if the plugin is correctly installed:
  • Make sure the SKINHANDLER is set to Gnu and the
  • SKIN variable is set to gnu.

Comprehensively:

• Download the GnuSkin-X.Y.Z.zip, or gnuskin-X.Y.Z.tgz, archive from the list of attachments at the bottom of this page. (X.Y.Z is the version number).

• Unpack the archive inside your TWiki installation directory. (All the GnuSkin files have a Gnu substring embedded to ensure you do not overwrite any of TWik's original files.)

• In case you do not have the TigerSkin^? installed you also need to download and install the WebMenu package in the same directory. The GnuSkin and the TigerSkin^? shares the WebMenu format.(The WebMenu format is unlikely to change, and even if it does it will require a major version upgrade.)

• Edit the WebMenu topic to set the contents of the menu bar. See the WebMenuFormat for details.

• Add the following line to TWikiPreferences or to any WebPreferences topic. Remember, six spaces an asterisk and the Set keyword to specify an option.

      * Set SKIN = gnu

• If using multiple skin handlers then the following line needs to be included in TWikiPreferences to set the TWiki wide default or in a specific WebPreferences topic to use the Gnu Skin handler only for that Web.

      * Set SKINHANDLER = Gnu

• Note: If this is the first (and only) skin handler the TWiki skin handler defaults to procssing the SKIN unless SKINHANDLER is set to some value besides Gnu.
