- view skin
- new new dropdown menu with the quicklinks panel
- login/logout
- edit wiki
- redirector now for iPhone, iPad, Android and IEMobile
- edit wysiwyg is included but is reported as not working in many cases

The skin has been tested in view on IPhone, iPad and IEMobile and in edit.

The XWiki.XWikiSkins export is provided for those that want to modify the wiki page skin.

Prerequisites & Installation Instructions

  • If the skin is packaged in a ZIP file, unzip it into the skins/ directory inside your expanded XWiki WAR directory. 
  • If the skin is packaged as a XAR file, import the XAR in your wiki.
  • Then check the Skin User Guide to learn how to set the skin.

Import the XAR. 2 Wiki pages are provided:

  • XWiki.MobileRedirectorSkin
  • XWiki.MobileSkin

You should set the XWiki.MobileRedirectorSkin as you skin, or integrated the changes from this skin in your own skin if you have a custom skin. The changes are in the view and footer template. These changes allow the redirector to the mobile skin when a Mobile device is detected.

If you want to test the MobileSkin without activating the mobile redirector skin, you can just add ?skin=XWiki.MobileSkin to your URL.

A file system based version of the skin is also provided for XWiki Enterprise Manager setups. To install this one, unzip xwiki-mobileskin-0.2.zip into webapps/xwiki/skins/ and then setup "redirector" as your skin in all your wikis or in xwiki.cfg.
