12:21 dave_bn hello.  I've been experimentig with skins, readin TPAC documentation examples.  Could someone tell me how to clone an opac skin and change its default settings, e.g. starting library or locale?
12:24 dave_bn I have tried duplicating <Location /eg/kpac> or <Location /eg/opac>, but have not figured what to put inside
12:25 dave_bn I have read about creating overrides, but I want to be able to keep the original opac skin and create additional one (e.g. something like kpac)

13:07 dave_bn bbqben: hello. do you happen to know how I could clone a tpac skin and create a new location with it? just like kpac, which lives in additional to opac.  thanks.
13:13 bbqben dave_bn: hi - not positive this docu is super current but have a look here: http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/do​ku.php?id=dev:opac:template-toolkit
13:22 dave_bn bbqben: thank you. it looks very helpful
13:31 dave_bn bbqben: this document is very helpful for customizing skinns.  Do you happen to know how I could create alternative opac skin URLs?
13:32 dave_bn bbqben: e.g. is there a location in eg_vhost.conf which I should just copy to create an alternate opac url?

13:42 dave_bn bbqben: this document is very helpful for customizing skinns.  Do you happen to know how I could create alternative opac skin URLs? e.g. is there a location in eg_vhost.conf which I should just copy to create an alternate opac url?
14:41 bshum dave_bn: Actually http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.5/_tpa​c_configuration_and_customization.html might be a little more comprehensive in explaining how TPAC customization works.
14:42 bshum What you're asking for in creating another location isn't exactly the same as how things were done in old JSPAC to create skins using different names
14:42 bshum Nowadays with TPAC, it's designed to work better with different virtualhost names
14:42 bshum That's described better in the "How to override templates" portion of the docs I linked to.
14:43 bshum So instead of having something like hostname/eg/opac/home vs. hostname/eg/opac-alternative/home
14:43 bshum It's more like hostname1/eg/opac/home vs. hostname2/eg/opac/home
14:43 bshum Where the two different hostnames have different skins based on how they're configured through apache.

14:44 bshum There's a bit too much dependent on the specific name "opac" for the folder / path to modify otherwise to my knowledge.

14:48 bshum dave_bn: If you need some further tips, there might be more folks around later in the week and you can always write to the mailing lists too.
14:48 dave_bn bshum: thanks very much for the explanation.  It looks very promising.  I have located the section that describes example virtual host configurations, so I will give it a try.
14:50 bshum A fair number of us may be traveling over the next couple days.  The Evergreen conference is this week in Boston, so it might be either livelier or quieter than usual :)
15:01 dave_bn bshum: thanks for the info. Good luck in Boston, I'll be checking the updates on the conf site :)
15:09 bbqben bshum: thanks dave_bn good luck
15:10 kmlussier bbqben: I don't think I ever saw you use that nick until today. Is it new?
