Changing to an invalid skin

Hi,

I tested what would happen if I changed to an invalid skin after install, in this case .svn. Of course it shows an error, but the thing is that it's hard to get back to a workable site again. You either have to change the skin in the datebase or copy an existing skin to the invalid skin folder.

Some mechanism for handling this would be nice. For exemple, if layout.Master (and maybe other critical files) doesn't exist in that folder, don't change.

Thanks,

Christian

Re: Changing to an invalid skin

I also came across with this problem. In my case I had to change the database.

Re: Changing to an invalid skin

I did add this to my list, but understand that even if I check for the existence of layout.master that doesn't gaurantee the skin is valid. If layout.master doesn't have the correct content it can still break the site by setting to the skin.

Best is to preview the change before saving to make sure the skin is good. Any skin can be previewed by adding skin=skinname to the url
