Okay, this gets dumber then:<br><br>WikiGroups are very easy to set up, but in the documentation I've gone through as well as in your letter, a group.php file is mentioned (I believe this is the same thing as what you call
groupname.php). <br><br>For example, I can set up the GefelteFish group as easily as any other. But now I want a skin for that group only.<br>1) Am I defining this in config.php or in a special folder or file? It appears to be one of the latter. But I find no instructions or examples how to do that.
<br>2) If it should be a file in the local folder, how/what would a GefelteFish.php look like (there is no sample-group.php file AFAIK)? <br>3) If group.php in a subfolder "GefelteFish" then the same question - what would go in the file in addition to the skins specification?
<br>4) Then would one or the other need a pointer in the config.php file?<br><br>I think I'm missing something obvious here. WIth apologies.... hopefully once I get past this, the language and password issues will be easy with the info below...
