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 con-
trols 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). PrintShop Mail Web uses a PHP file that gen-
erates 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 PrintShop Mail 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.
PrintShop Mail 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.
