Hi Aderson,

Just elaborating a little bit.

I've created a new skin by copying the Xcillion directories within the skins and container directories.

I then changed and added some files to create a 'new' skin. But the 'new'  skin doesn't show up in the list of skins available for the package.

So as you mentioned I could give it a name, I thought to create a skin package from the Xcillion skin and rename it, then reapply the changes but that's not going to work I think.

Is it possible to register the new directories as a skin using the 'create new extension button' at 'Host/Extensions'?

Best Regards,

Steve

Hi Aderson,

Thank you for your reply.

OK I'm with it now, I thought somehow I should be able to rename the skin by changing one field somewhere :-)

I am using DNN 8 by the way.

So I've created a new renamed theme based on the Xcillion theme. It installs OK but there are a couple of issues.
First, I get a warning:
"If you have reached this page it is because the installer needs to gather some more information before proceeding.
The package contains files with invalid File Extensions (map, woff2, manifest)
The installer maintains a list of allowable files (whitelist) that can be installed into the site. If you are confident that the package you are installing is from a reliable source then you can elect to ignore this list."

I'm not sure how to get rid of that.

Secondly, the Container files are not included. I can see there's a list of included files for the skin in the manifest, presumably, I need to create an equivalent list for the container files somehow.

Best Regards,

Steve

 

Hi Aderson,

Thank you for your reply.

I suspect those files are not necessary for my purposes, so I will look at removing them.

I'd always assumed skins/themes and container would install together, a separate container package is a minor inconvenience. But if I can generate the container package then look and see if the two can be combined. If that's possible.

Thank you once again.

Steve
