[Bug 1364000] Re: Offer a set of skins, preventing uncontrolled growth

 

Thank you, Kristina, for your question.

To me it seems it approaches your last guess.
I haven't thought it trough fully admin-side, I must admit, but to the user I think there is a simple way.

When only pre-prepared skins in an organisation would be offered, and
self-creation (and importing, exporting) would be restricted, there was
only a choice between some skins for the user's page creation.

The "Create Skin", "Import Skin", and (t.b.d.) "Export Skin" would be missing.
Maybe there wouldn't be a need for the skin pull-down choser and filter button either.

I hope to have explained my input better, like this.

Hopefully some experienced admin side expert has a simple idea of
getting this done on the administration front-end.

Best greetings

Luca

Title:
  Offer a set of skins, preventing uncontrolled growth

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Please consider the following feature request.

  Regarding skins, in Mahara 1.9, there are basically three options.

  Disallowing everything.
  Allowing everything.
  Disallowing everything theme-wide.

  I would like to propose a middle way in which a institutional designer
  would prepare some skins (which are in itself different, but adhere to
  the institution's CI/CD) the user could chose from. The user could not
  freely create and modify everything but all the same spice up and
  distinguish her/his own sites.

  Best regards

  Luca
