ACF Skins

ACF has support for multiple skins.
Only a few skins are available. Feel free to contribute by programming css-stylesheets for ACF.

Directory Structure

Sample skins are located in the /usr/share/acf/www/skins/ directory. User-modifiable skins can be added to the /etc/acf/skins/ directory. Each skin is located in its own subdirectory and contains one or more of the following files:

  • 'skin'.css - the main CSS file for the skin
  • 'skin'-ie.css - Internet Explorer-specific CSS file (loaded in addition to 'skin'.css)
  • 'skin'.js - javascript file for the skin

Images

It is common for skins to include image files. Skin-specific image files should be located in the skin subdirectory. Please see the sample skins for how to include images.

The acf-skin package also includes a variety of tango images located in the static/tango directory.

Templates

As of acf-core-0.15.1, skins can also include template files. The acf_www-controller will look in the following locations for skin-specific templates before searching /usr/share/acf:

  • 'skindirectory'/template-'controller'-'action'-'viewtype'.lsp
  • 'skindirectory'/template-'controller'-'viewtype'.lsp
  • 'skindirectory'/template-'action'-'viewtype'.lsp
  • 'skindirectory'/template-'viewtype'.lsp

For example, the acf_www-controller will check the following locations for action /acf-util/skins/read with viewtype 'html' while using skin 'wik':

  • /usr/share/acf/www/skins/wik/template-skins-read-html.lsp
  • /usr/share/acf/www/skins/wik/template-skins-html.lsp
  • /usr/share/acf/www/skins/wik/template-read-html.lsp
  • /usr/share/acf/www/skins/wik/template-html.lsp

Sample Skins

Some example skins are available:

  • /usr/share/acf/www/skins/alps/
  • /usr/share/acf/www/skins/cloud/
  • /usr/share/acf/www/skins/ice/
  • /usr/share/acf/www/skins/snow/
  • /usr/share/acf/www/skins/wik/

How To Contribute

Make a new skin folder.

mkdir -p /etc/acf/skins/myskin

Create a css file called as the folder.

touch /etc/acf/skins/myskin/myskin.css

Now you can start editing your myskin.css.
If you have ACF running on the computer, you can browse to https://<hostname>/cgi-bin/acf/acf-util/skins/read and switch to your new skin (called myskin) and see the results of your changes.

Pack your myskin folder, containing your css file (and images, if there are any).
