[Zope-CMF] Question on Default Skins

[Grégoire Weber]

Hi all!

1. I saw the receipe using 'setupCurrentSkin' last week and couldn't 
   get it working (http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1028172355).

2. The previously posted receipe manipulating '_v_skindata' didn't work 
   either (http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1016693454).

For the receipe using '_v_skindata' I found a solution:

CMF internals have changed and broken the receipes code. Prepend the 
REQUEST object to the list and it works (CMF 1.3)!

  portal._v_skindata = (REQUEST, self.getSkinByName('Public'), {} )

I placed a comment at the corresponding receipe.

Greetings, Greg
