Description

This add-on script allows you to create a default template for your entire site. The script also automatically detect the presence of PageTemplate(s) and GroupTemplate(s), and use them accordingly. There is also a plain-vanilla template included in the script to help you get started.

The script won't over-write or change any existing customizations or original PmWiki files. Only 9 lines of code in this script!

Comments

It would be great if this script allowed wiki-editing of the pages and templates, rather than having to edit things on the filesystem. I use Wiki for everything; my goal is to get the Wiki to do more of the work so users have more control. Of course, templates probably don't change as often as all that, so perhaps it's not too important. --JamesCarlson
Oh, I changed the script slightly to put the templates in a /pub/templates directory, rather than a /pub/skins directory; it's an easy search-replace. I did this because I wanted to separate concerns-- skins are not templates and vice versa. --JamesCarlson
