using a skin for default blog

1 Nov 01, 2006 09:08    

I am wondering if I edited a skin for my main blog how would I keep the other users from using the modified skin. Guess I am confused as to how that works. In other words if I edit a skin and add something on the side bar, I assume that the other users would see the same thing if they selected that skin. Basically if I modify a skin I don't want the new blog users to have access to the modified skin, but still want them to be able to select other skins. Appreciate any help here.

The following code will be usefull;

<?php if ( $blog == $some_blog ) { ?>
<strong>The stuff that you want to display for the blog $some_blog will be shown here</strong>
<?php } else { ?>
<strong>The stuff that you want to display for all other blogs is shown here</strong>
<?php } ?>

That would be the best way in my opinion to do what you want as you are only doing minor changes i believe.

If you are doing bigger changes just add the following the start of your skin's main.php file

<?php if ( $blog == $some_blog ) { require(dirname(__FILE__)./hiddenskin/_main.php'); die; } ?>


And then have your hidden skin in; /skins/baseskin/hiddenskin/

Should all be good, of course replace $some_blog with whatever the blog id is of the blog you want to display the hidden stuff for.
