Hi.<div><br></div><div>I already thought of that kind of theming implementation (with another french developer), but we gave up because our main idea was to be able to put some &quot;page templates&quot; into a single skin, each of them linked with a backend layout (stored as a file in the skin dir), and the 4.5 backend code did not provide any elegant way to do that. If current code is better, this can be a nice addition to your project.</div>

Hello guys,<br>
<br>
before making a open survey on the english list i wanted to discuss the<br>
approach i use for skinning.<br>
<br>
So here is how it works:<br>
<br>
        1. each skin is an extension<br>
        2. all extensions are checked for a skin directory, if found<br>
           the skin is added to the skin repository<br>
           The skin consists of this files:<br>
                EXT:extkey/Configuration/Skin/constants.txt<br>
                EXT:extkey/Configuration/Skin/setup.txt<br>
                EXT:extkey/Configuration/Skin/tsconfig.txt<br>
                EXT:extkey/Configuration/Skin/screenshot.png<br>
        3. setup and constants are are included in the template using<br>
           the static template hook<br>
        4. tsconfig is included to skin root page and below with xclass<br>
           (sadly this is currently not possible with a hook)<br>
        5. some additional logic is included to be compatible to<br>
           templavoilaframework skins as far as possible.<br>
<br>
This way the skinselector should be technically compatible to:<br>
<br>
        - fedext<br>
        - gridelements<br>
        - dce<br>
<br>
I like to ship contents elements which are also available in TVF in a<br>
standalone extension. So i like to know:<br>
<br>
        &quot;What is the suggested way to have FCE like<br>
                functionality in TYPO3 ???&quot;<br>
<br>
        - fedext<br>
        - gridelements<br>
        - dce<br>
<br>
For the future it&#39;s also planned to add a wizard, which allows to<br>
migrate tvframework skins to the selected approach.<br>
<br>
