I was having the issue with cloning skins noted in this solved thread: https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/design-and-skin-customization/6193/news-css-and-template-copy-issues

After the most recent update, I can clone, but the cloned skin doesn't appear in my skins. I cannot select it. However, it does appear in the list of skins I can clone. I've integrity checked, cache updated and turned myself around but still no go.

I just tested here and I'm not seeing any issues. Can you FTP in to the site and check the permissions on the clone files and directories?

I'm showing the cloned skin directories as 755 and template files as 644. Showing the same in the original skin.

Which version are you running?

I had an issue where the skin didn't get cloned, but that was fixed and I'm not seeing an issue with it either.

As stated in my initial post, I'm running the lastest core version: 5.1.21.

My skins ARE getting cloned. They show up in the dropdown menu and I can select the cloned skin there. It just doesn't show up in the left sidebar list.

It's happening on all 3 of the sites I've tested.

Unfortunately I am not able to reproduce this on any of my test sites. The way the skins are listed in the left hand menu is simply a matter of a directory listing being made in the "skins" directory, and then the core looks for an "include.php" file in the directory - if it finds one, it believes it is a skin.

Is the include.php file inside the skin directory and is it readable by the web user?

Brian, it appears if the cloned skin is named something like "bbElastic" it's OK. But if I precede "Elastic" with three characters like "bfbElastic" then the include file is messed up. Below I named the cloned skin "bfbElastic" but the include.php is calling it jrbElastic:

/**
 * jrbElastic_meta
 */
function jrbElastic_skin_meta(){
    $_tmp = array(
        'name'        => 'jrbElastic',
        'version'     => '1.0.6',
        'developer'   => 'The Jamroom Network, ©'. strftime('%Y'),
        'description' => 'The Default Jamroom 5 Skin - clean and easy to expand',
        'support'     => 'http://www.jamroom.net/phpBB2'
    );
    return $_tmp;
}

/**
 * jrbElastic_init
 * NOTE: unlike with a module, init() is NOT called on each page load, but is
 * called when the core needs to rebuild CSS or Javascript for the skin
 */
function jrbElastic_skin_init(){
    // Bring in all our CSS files
    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrCore','css','jrbElastic','core_html.css');
    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrCore','css','jrbElastic','core_grid.css');

I think this corresponds with the cloning issue @iLoveHouseMusic was having in the other thread as well. This has not been fixed in 5.1.22.

Yep - I've been working with Michael on this and finally have reproduced it on a fresh install on one of my remote test servers - I can't replicate it locally, but should be able to figure out what's going on now and will get it fixed.

Thanks!

Okay this should be fixed now in the latest developer tools (1.1.3) - please update and let me know if that fixes it for you.

Thanks!
