From b2evolution manual

Jump to: navigation, search

Use this checklist to make sure your skin is ready for distribution.

Contents

[edit] General

  • Did you include the EvoBar?
    • Does it display correctly when logged in? All "global" styles that impact the evobar need to be made more specific, for example by preceding them with div#skin_wrapper
    • Does it hide the top of the content? (it should not)
  • Does the skin also display correctly when logged out?
  • Does comment preview work?
  • Do featured/intro posts work? (blog B)
  • Is there a contact link in the footer?
  • Are there appropriate credits?

[edit] Widgets

  • Does it have all the required widget containers? Especially:
    • the one that allows to switch from one blog to the next
    • the one that lists pages
    • the one that displays the blog name and tagline (except when it's really impossible to make this a configurable area)
  • Does it have containers on all disp modes? Especially:
    • single post view
    • page view
    • user view
    • profile edit view

[edit] CSS

  • Does the CSS rendering still look like the original design once you've combined it with the default b2evolution styles?
  • Does the debug info display correctly when in $debug = 1 mode.
  • Is the main CSS file named /style.css?
  • Is there an /item.css file?
  • How do inline images look? (Blog A)
  • How do < code > sections look? (Blog B)

[edit] Packaging

  • Did you include a skinshot.png or skinshot.jpg? Does it have the right size?
  • Did you put the other resources (images, CSS, etc) into and /rsc folder within the skin?
  • Did you zip the skin folder so it can be unzip directly into the /skins folder and be ready to use?
