Blog Software Tutorial - User Skins
Skins are created and their values are set in the Manage skins
module of the blog administration area.
Changing skins is easy. Users modify their preferred skin by updating their user
profile.
Up to 16 values can be defined for each skin. The next tag is used to
load these values in blog template files.
<BL_SkinValue> |
number | skin value to be shown (1-16) |
|
Let's say the second skin value for the skin selected is a .html color value #FFFFFF.
<BL_SkinValue number="2"> would be replaced by #FFFFFF
while the template file is shown/processed.
In addition to the 16 skin values, the skin name can also be used to further
customize the look/feel of pages in your fully skinable blog. Easy and powerful.
<BL_SkinName> | shows skin name |
|
You could call images in your blog as follows :
/images/<BL_SkinName>.gif
Directory /images/green.gif would be used for a template named green.
If the template name were blue then /images/blue.gif would
be used.
This can be used to load different images, logos, backgrounds, music, flash and other multimedia
files, depending on the blog skin selected.
