Customizing the 'SearchPage' skin

Hi,   We want to apply the different skins based on the category and the board context to the SearchPage, so can we do this?? Applying different skins to SearchPage or could we do it through API's?...

Additional to ClaudiusH 's approach you could try to set a different skin (if you really want or have an entire skin for that =D) within the page init script:

 

this is completely untested!

 

<#switch http.request.parameters.name.get("location")>
    <#case "location-1">
        <#assign skin = skin.set("<your.skin.name.for.that.location>") />
        <#break />
    <#case "location-2">
        ...
    <#default>
        ...
</#switch>

if you try it out, let me know if that works =)!

    luk, ClaudiusH,

    I would like to know if there is any way to get currently assigned skin id for a particular node?

    As I would get the location id from search parameters, I want to check which skin is applied to that board before setting it to SearchPage inside page initialization or custom component.

    I did not find any APIs to get skin mapped to a particular node. 

    Any pointers?

     

    Thanks,

    Vaishnavi

        Hi TariqHussain,

        I want to know skin id set for a particular node, not for the current rendering node.

         

        use case :-

        1. community - skin id "base"

        2. category1 (unique id is 200)- skin id "orange" (explicitly set from "Admin > Display> Skins" for this node)

        3. category2 (unique id is 201)- skin id "blue" (explicitly set from "Admin > Display> Skins" for this node)

        4.user searches some keyword(say 'test') from "location" filter for "category2"

        SearchPage parameters will be

        ?filter=location&q=test&location=category:201&collapse_discussion=true

         

        Requirement :-

        Now I want to get skin id which is assigned to the searched location node (category:201) and want to set that specific skin id to SearchPage instance.

         

        Thanks,

        Vaishnavi
