Changing users to a specific skin?

[Gryzor]

Hello!

I just discovered GuMaxV and I LOVE IT!

So I wanted to share it with my users over at cpcwiki.com . However, when I run

Code: Select all

php userOptions.php skin --old "monobook" --new "GuMaxV"

I get notifications that it doesn't change most of the users because they have their skin set to '' (null). So I run

Code: Select all

php userOptions.php skin --old "" --new "GuMaxV"

and this time it changes all of the users - or so it tells me. WHen I try to log in with a username that got an OK, I still get monobook... Am I doing something wrong?

Also, how do I set the skin that a registered user sees before he logs in?

Thanks for the wonderful skin! Keep it up

Ahhh darn, got it. I had used capitalization, but it needed it to be all lower case.

Loving it!!!

Thanks for sharing this... it's great

The skin name needs to be lowercase in MediaWiki...

[Gryzor]

Yeah... the problem is that useroptions.php doesn't do any check, and it'll give you an OK even if naming is incorrect!

If you set all user skin to 'null', then all user skin will be default to the skin in LocalSettings.php...
