Sverre Helge Bolstad () set custom skin for folder

Reply Threaded

Hi

I wish to set a different skin for a folder and all its subfolders. I
have created a skin based on http://plone.org/products/diyplonestyle/
releases/1.0. And I have created an external method, an access rule
and a python script based on http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/
set-skin-for-folder/.

The skin I have created works when I set it manually as the default
skin. The select-skin based on access rule works fine if I choose
Plone Tableless as the skin it should change to.

But it does work when I try to change to MySkin .. :(

Does anyone have a recipe for doing this in 2.1, or have anyone done
something similar ?

A nice feature for the future would be to choose the skin for a
folder from the "choose default view" tab in the folder :)

br,
Sverre Helge Bolsted

The easiest way to have a custom skin for a site section (folder and
subfolders) is to add a condition to the stylesheets registered with the
portal_css
For instance, you can use a condition like:

python:object.getPhysicalPath()[2]=='Members'

No need to setup access rules anymore :-)

If you only need to make changes to the style sheet on a per-folder basis, here is a method that I used. the advantage of this approach is that all the different styles are still in one style-sheet, and there are no conditions in the registry. This means that all the style-caching will still work, meaning there should be very little slowdown using this approach.

However, if your local styles involve more than just css changes (i.e. you have made changes to templates as well) then as far as I know, you are still going to have to use access rules.

Hope this helps
Mike

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to allow customised styles to be applied to any folder or sub folders, I ended up doing the following:

* Customise 'getSectionFromURL' (from plone_scripts)
* Edit the last line from:
return "section-" + contentPath[0]
to:
return " ".join(["section-" + "-".join(contentPath[:d+1]) for d in range(len(contentPath))])

This expands the code that creates the "section-members" class attribute in the body tag. It now adds a class for each folder in the path.

E.g. Imagine you have a folder structure that goes: /departments/marketing/news

The body tag now has the following class attributes:
section-departments
section-departments-marketing
section-departments-marketing-news

So in ploneCustom.css, you can go:
.section-departments-marketing p { color: red }

to turn all paragraphs red in /departments/marketing and below

and then you could also go:
.section-departments-marketing-news p { color: green }

to override all the paragraphs to green in /departments/marketing/news

Thanks Mike an David !

I need to change the logo, graphics and some colors
so maybe I can use the section attribute solution
for now (if Im able to change the logo with it ?),
but it would nice to know how to do both and im a
newbie so I have questions for both of you. :)

I actually tried Mikes solution before posting here,
but didnt get it to work so..

should i customize getSectionFromURL on the filesystem,
or put it in the custom folder ?

my folder structure is
/kinesiske-kamp/om-kinesiske-kampkunster/new-folder

would then the attributes be
section-kinesiske-kamp
section-kinesiske-kamp-om-kinesiske-kampkunster
section-kinesiske-kamp-om-kinesiske-kampkunster-new-folder ?

and in ploneCustom.css:

.section-kinesiske-kampkunster-om-kinesiske-kampkunster-new-folder
p {
color: red }

?

and David :

how do I register a condition for a stylesheet, and what stylesheet is
registered with the portal ?

Thanks !

Sverre Helge

> how do I register a condition for a stylesheet,
look at the config.py of DIYPloneStyle, it is quite explicit.
a condition is a TAL expression, it works the same way as for actions
(see portal_css and portal_actions)
and what stylesheet is
> registered with the portal ?
look at portal_css from the ZMI, it lists all the registered stylesheets

The ResourceRegistries is now cacheable, thanks to Florian Schultze.
So you can now play with conditions without affecting plone perfs.
Changes are in the svn trunk.
Personaly I prefer when I can avoid modifying plone templates and
scripts for further maintenance.

Your solution is interesting though.
Thx,
David

Oh cool - I wasn't aware of this. I agree that modifying templates is not ideal, but as it was such a small mod I thought I would live with it. The other slight disadvantage to using ResourceRegistry with conditions was that I was dealing with around 100 folders each potentially with their own styles. It does sound a bit unwieldy to have 100 conditional entries in ResourceRegistries, all working on different levels and folders. I say this purely from a manageability point of view - the actual site performance may well be just as good now that the caching is sorted out.

Initially I would customise via the ZMI just for testing purposes. (I.e. find the script in the ZMI, press "customize" and use the copy in the custom folder) Do not edit the original on the filesystem as your edits will then be overridden next time you upgrade plone. Once it is working you can do a custom filesystem skin that includes this modification.

my folder structure is
/kinesiske-kamp/om-kinesiske-kampkunster/new-folder

would then the attributes be
section-kinesiske-kamp
section-kinesiske-kamp-om-kinesiske-kampkunster
section-kinesiske-kamp-om-kinesiske-kampkunster-new-folder ?

Guess so. Lots of hyphens, but should still work. Look at a page in new-folder and go view source in your browser and check what it has rendered.

and in ploneCustom.css:

.section-kinesiske-kampkunster-om-kinesiske-kampkunster-new-folder
p {
color: red }

looks like a typo to me. I think you might mean:
.section-kinesiske-kamp-om-kinesiske-kampkunster-new-folder p { color: red }
