Void Skin Bugs and Upcoming Features

This page lists the bugs that have been reported on VoidSkin, and information about the next and future release features and fixes.

Future Releases

Current Release 1.2.1

Bugs / To-Do List

I just had a user new to twiki add an attachment to the wrong page. He figured out that he could go to "move attachment" to move it to the trash, but the page he gets:

https://xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/bin/rename/Main/WebHome?attachment=Domestship.xls

Doesn't have the submit button or dotvoid skin wrapper. So, two points -- you do have a link to a rename here (which I understood you wanted to avoid), and it lacks buttons and is really confusing. -- TWiki:Main/HeatherSherman

Fixed Bugs

From TWiki:Plugins/VoidSkinDev -

Very nice! I am giving it a try, and wait for acceptance results from users.

Just: I had to correct the preview.void.tmpl so as to use 'http://www.brayden.org/twiki/pub/TWiki/VoidSkin/previewImg.gif' instead of 'images/previewImg.gif'. Is this normal?

thanks for the job! -- TWiki:Main/JeanMarieClement - 04 Jun 2003


I like it! A couple of installation issues.. I think there's a missing / in the step to install templates in twiki/templates, since there is also a TwikiTemplates directory this is confusing. Also, to set skin = void you have to set SKIN = void (capitals). As a newbie to twiki this stumped me for a few minutes. Now it's up and running great. Thanks. -- TWiki:Main/RickMangi - 04 Jun 2003

Thanks to both of you for the information about installation issues - and sorry for the inconveniences. Now that you mention it, I do believe I had to tweak my own installation and forgot to fold the changes back into the installation package here. I will make the changes as soon as I get some time - and please let me know if there were other problems.

One other oddness, but this might be twiki -- when I click on "diff", my top menu no longer includes "Edit", it now includes the non-link "%EDITTOPIC%". -- TWiki:Main/HeatherSherman

Everyone at my company has made positive remarks about this skin. Some people are even using the black and red colors! :)

I am having a small problem, though. When editing a topic form data is not shown anywhere. I tried modifiying twiki.void.tmpl. I changed the "edit" definition and added a FORMFIELDS variable after the edit box. That seems to work, but after pressing save changes all form data is lost.

Also, the Change Form link does not work since there is no template for that and it is not possible to press a button to make the change.

-- TWiki:Main/RodrigoChandia - 16 Jun 2003

Ok. I fixed that too by adding a FORMFIELDS to the preview.void.tmpl just after the save HTML form.

What would be the best way to contribute any (useful) changes I make to this template?

I really like this skin and have it set as the default for a while now. I've made customizations of course, based on the way I think we use our intranet. In particular, reducing the amount of text on the edit page makes it look even nicer (and ease of use is increased with only a single help topic link to a version of GoodStyle?).

Minor bug report:

  • This skin (like several others) has the "hard-coded TWiki" problem. The skin can use the variable TWIKIWEB instead of hard-coding "TWiki" in several locations, for both referencing the TWIKIWEB or the path to attachments, etc.
    • Example: twiki.void.tmpl uses PUBURL/TWiki/VoidSkin instead of PUBURL/TWIKIWEB/VoidSkin
  • It's easy to find these occurances with grep -r -i twiki * after unzipping.

I'm not using preview, since this intranet saves topics directly after edit. I'm thinking of adding another button: "save and continue editting", to reduce the view/edit/view/re-edit cycle.

Add version number to the installation package.
