I am afraid it is not that easy! I copied Monobook.php and renamed it to Christmas.php. I then copied the monobook folder and renamed it Christmas. I uploaded it, went into skins and chose Christmas. As soon as I hit save, nothing works and you get an error!
*Fatal error*: Cannot redeclare class skinmonobook in * /home/supportw/public_html/wiki/skins/Christmas.php* on line *25*

I searched for monobook in the Christmas.php file, and changed each one to Christmas. I ended up changing only
class SkinMonoBook extends SkinTemplate {
/** Using monobook. */
function initPage( &$out ) {
SkinTemplate::initPage( $out );
$this->skinname = 'Christmas';
$this->stylename = 'Christmas';
$this->template = 'ChristmasTemplate';
}
}

Rename the references to MonoBook within the skin files to Christmas or whatever.

First, I copy the Monobook.php file and rename it to the skin name, Christmas.php. I then copy the monobook folder and rename it Christmas. Where do I go from there so that my copy of the skin works? If I just upload the Christmas.php and Christmas folder the way they are, you get
an
error message when you choose to use that skin!

I mean, you now modify your copy of the skin fine.

So far, I know that you have to copy the MonoBook folder and
rename
it
to
the skin name. You then have to copy Monobook.php and rename it
to
the
skin
name. You then have to change the lines -
class SkinChristmas extends SkinTemplate {
/** Using monobook. */
function initPage( &$out ) {
SkinTemplate::initPage( $out );
$this->skinname = 'Christmas';
$this->stylename = 'Christmas';
$this->template = 'ChristmasTemplate';
}
}
In this example, it would make a skin called Christmas. Where
do
you go
from here? What has to be modified in SkinTemplate.php and
SkinPHPTal.php?
