[OPEN-ILS-DEV] apache skin environment variable

[James Fournie]

Hey there,

I'm wondering if anyone has considered adding this to the eg_vhost.conf :

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/opac/.*?/skin/(.*?)/
RewriteRule - - [E=skinname:%1] [L]

Then wherever /skin/default/ appears, replace it with /skin/<!--echo
var="skinname"--> or something like that.

Does this approach make sense?  Then you can just copy the /default
skin if you want to make your own skin and don't need to update dozens
of URLs.   Are there any drawbacks to this?

Thanks
