By default, PmWiki looks in pub/skins/triad in both the current
(field) directory and in the farm directory.
If the pub/ directory is somewhere other than these two locations,
then the $SkinLibDirs array needs to be adjusted to tell PmWiki
where to look for skins (and the corresponding url to use for each).
Personally, I find that it's easier to leave the pub/ directory
in the farm and then create a symlink or webserver alias to
make that directory accessible over the web. But either approach
will work.
