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.)

• Alternatively, you can check out the latest versions of the GnuSkin and WebMenu from The GNU Savannah CVS repository.

• 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.
