SID-00568: twiki doesn't seem to find skin templates

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.2	Perl version:	5.8.8
Category:	CategorySkin	Server OS:	CentOS 5.3	Last update:	16 years ago

Even when I specify Set SKIN=twikinet, the pages are all generated with the default template. I removed {TemplateDir}/$name.tmpl and it can't generate any page, even with {TemplateDir}/$skin/$name.tmpl present.

My fresh 4.3.2 install never rendered using the pattern skin anyway, always the default. Any hint how to debug this?

Discussion and Answer

Make sure you create a proper bullet as documented in Plugins.TWikiNetSkin like this:

• Set SKIN = twikinet,pattern

You can also test this out by adding ?skin=twikinet,pattern to the view URL of a TWiki page.

I tried that, and nothing worked. Eventually, I got rid of bin/LocalLib.cfg and bin/LocalSite.cfg, started with a clean bin/LocalLib.cfg and re-ran bin/configure. Now at least I get the default pattern skin. Looks like something went wrong the first time I did the install. Thanks for your answer anyway!

I suggest to re-install TWikiNetSkin and TWikiNetSkinPlugin as well.
