Setting component skin at runtime in code??

Hi,

We can define multiple skins for a component of which one is default. I was looking for a way if possible one particular skin can be set for a component dropped on a page in JAVA code.

For example: Here is a use case I can think of:

1. I create a component with multiple skins.
2. Saved and dropped it to a page
3. Page has a pre controller
4. While rendering the page when pre controller executes, based on some business logic say I need to show a particular skin.

I did check the RenderingManager and all other related classes but did not find a way to do that.

Any takers for this? Alex, Viral??

At least how it works? In BaseRequestContext i can see that componentId, endUserSite is getting set but where is skin getting set?

Hi Dolly,

You can change skins within a component external by add the following line:

context.getPageScopeData().put("component_custom_skin", );

context.getPageScopeData().put(RuntimePage.PAGESCOPE_CUSTOM_SKIN, "[your skin name]");
