SetSkinByCookiePlugin

Lets you set the current skin by using a cookie

Introduction

By setting a cookie like SetSkin=collaborganize you can change your current displayed sking accordingly. This plugins supports diffrent modes, so you can add the skin or skins addded by the cookie to the skin-list which is present right now, or you simply overwrite all other settings and force this skin to be used in any cases.

USAGE

You can define the Cookie-Name which should be used to set the skin in the configuration center ( bin/configure ), by default this is SetSkin. If you prefix the follwing things, you can switch between the modes described in the introduction

Prefix	Meaning
<	Add the defined skin or skin list to the current skin list, but on the left side. . This means, the SetSkin skins will be used in a higher priority
>	Add the defined skin or skin list to the current skin list, but on the right side. . This means, the SetSkin skins will be used in a lower priority
no prefix	Overwrite the current skin settings and force the SetSkin to be the only one

Expamples: Your current skin would be +SKIN="nat, pattern"*

• SetSkin = "<collaborganize"
  • Result: SKIN = "collaborganize, nat, pattern"
• SetSkin = ">collaborganize"
  • Result: SKIN = "nat, pattern, collaborganize"
• SetSkin = "collaborganize"
  • Result: SKIN = "collaborganize"

Hint: This also overrules the parameter &skin= !
