This module makes it easy to create a "skin" of your theme which can be used where a Drupal theme wouldn't work well.
For example, one section of your website is located at a different domain, built by another company offsite, or uses a non-Drupal tool, and you want to provide a file containing the HTML to be used as a wrapper.
Sure, you could just copy and paste the source... but what about all those embedded URLs? They need to be converted to absolute links. And what if you optimize your CSS and JS files? They will get deleted if you clear your caches, and then your skin will be broken.
This module allows you to define paths which should be skinned. When this page is loaded, all URLs in the HTML will be converted to their absolute equivalents (CSS, JS, images, links, forms, etc). You can optionally save a copy of any optimized CSS or JS files, replacing the URL to the saved file, which helps avoid broken references when the caches get cleared.
This is also helpful when creating HTML email campaigns.
Example Usage
- Create a new node for your skin (perhaps just placing the strings @@TITLE@@ in the title field, and @@BODY@@ in the body field). This will make it easier to find these sections later when you need to edit or split the skin into header/footer sections.
