Colibri skin inaccessible when unregistered users blocked

Hello all,

We've been trying to setup wiki access rights in a manner that only
registered users can access pages. As a result, we blocked any unregistered
user from either viewing or editing pages without a login. This was due to
the fact that we were trying to setup a feedback mechanism where it was
important to know who gives the feedback. However, due to these access right
changes, the Colibri skin themes applied from the presentation control panel
no longer work. The default Colibri theme (with the gray background) is what
comes up. I am assuming this is due to the fact that the themes too are
pages in the wiki (with the Colibri skin & ColorTheme space being
introduced) & blocking everyone out from viewing/editing pages will apply
the same access rights to the ColorTheme space.

The strange part is when a user does login, still the skin remains the
default one and doesn't change to the theme set in the presentation panel.
Could anyone please recommend a workaround to this. Thank you for your time
& consideration.

 

 

Regards,

Dilipkumar Jadhav

Yes, you need to set the ColorThemes space to be viewable by guests if you
want external users to see it on the login screen.

Apparently this was fixed by http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XSCOLIBRI-50...

Ask your user to try and force-refresh the page after login (CTRL-CAPS-R in
Firefox) and see whether the issue persists.

If you want, you can manually change
<webapp dir>/templates/colorThemeInit.vm to contain the values for the
custom color theme.

Yes, but only on trunk, it is not present in any released version of
XWiki yet.

Thanks for your response Guillaume & Sergiu.
I changed the ColorTheme space to be viewable by Guests. That did resolve
the original issue.
And it happened just in time :)
