Once the core app is upgraded, no manual up gradation should be required. The skin designs should be upgrades easily. How the task of easier up gradation is fulfilled? The software uses these tools ‘containers’ and ‘widgets’ to fulfill the task of easy up gradation. The latest version of the software, the skins define containers by such names as “Header” or “Sidebar”. On the back-office side on the other hand, a b2evolution host can easily add widgets to the containers of his choice. As for example, he can add a “Calendar widget” or a “Logo widget” to the Header and an “XML feeds” widget to the sidebar. It is also possible to change the order of these widgets at any time.
Once the widgets get their display parameters from the skin containers, they are automatically turned into the look & feel of the container they’re used in. However it is also possible for the widgets to define their own parameters. A user can set this parameter through a form. Already have a b2evolution hosting and just want to upgrade it? Simply turn your existing template into an evoking and take full advantage of the evoking skinning system to get a fresh look for your blog.
