Use Case One: Skin By URL

by George Lee — last modified Dec 30, 2008 03:05 PM

References for switching a skin based on URL.

Suppose that you want your site to use different skins depending on whether it is accessed via http://prefix1.---, http://prefix2.---, etc.

A skin must be being determined every time the site is accessed ("What does the URL look like? Well then, let's use this skin"). So, an Access Rule is the best way to switch the skin.

Once again, see EnSimpleStaging Tutorial - Switching Skins By URL and Using Zope/Apache to Switch Skins By URL for examples.
