_skins Component Layout

Overview

The skin is used for the shared content (header, footer, etc.) that is used throughout the website. Each skins component layout contains a main_template.html and columns.html.

You will want to copy at least the main_template.html to your local _skins/default directory.

Setting an Alternate Skin

When a site is created, it defaults to using _skins/default templates.

If you want to use a different _skins component layout:

Option 1:

• Copy the main_template.html and columns.html from one of the alternate component layouts and place them in your local _skins/default directory.

Option 2:

1. Log into the new version of the Site Manager (Admin Panel > Utilities > Use Bootstrap Site Manager Interface)
2. Go to Superuser > Select a Skin, then choose the skin you want to use
3. Go to Superuser > Use Legacy Site Manager to return to the regular Site Manager interface

_skins/default

This skin has the most up-to-date info and scripts and can usually be adapted for just about any site.
