[Zope-CMF] Question on Default Skins

[Carl Rendell]

Thanks to Tim Hoffman.. I've been able to get an implementation 
which serves my purpose and objectives.

Objectives:

'Toggle' skins based on domain name using basic Zope and CMF 
supplied methods, but without resorting to the use of cookies - 
which are not as reliable as i would like.

Solution:

Simple python script set up as a 'Site Access Rule' within the 
target CMF Site -

from string import find, split

mainHost = 'hostName'
req = context.REQUEST
domain = split(req['SERVER_URL'],'//')[1]

if find(domain,mainHost) >= 0:
   req.set('portal_skin','MainHostSkin')
   context.setupCurrentSkin(req)

This works perfectly for me and the situations I'm currently 
running into. Thanks again to Tim.
