The contents of skin folder

Template.php

The Template.php file is the main file for your skin and can be compared with an index.html file of a regular

HTML web site. The file calls the different functions of the skinning engine that assembles the final HTML

output. The Template.php file controls the logical positions of the page elements and processes the items in

the order that they appear in that file.

Style.php

As stated before skins are used in combination with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). PSM Web uses a PHP file

that generates a CSS structure. To be able to call special functions that insert special variables like color

information or an image file. The variable information is retrieved from the PSM Web database and can be set

by the administrator in the Edit Web Design page. This can be done per company (f.e. to match the

companies color scheme) or for the system wide web design settings.

PSM Web comes with a browser detection mechanism. This allows you to make style exceptions for specific

browsers, browser versions and operation systems.

Images

To enhance your skin even more you might want to add custom images and icons. You can place these images

inside your skins folder and refer to them from within your style documents.
