How to Install old-style Plone Skins on buildout-based Plone 3 instance

The following instructions cover installation of old-style Free or Commercial Plone skins (distributed in a .zip) on buildout-based Plone 3 instance.

  • Follow the link on the skin page on this website to get Plone skin zip archive (e.g. qPloneSkinName-version.zip)
  • Unpack zip archive to get qPloneSkinName skin folder.
  • Move Plone skin folder qPloneSkinName to the products directory of your buildout-based Zope instance.
  • Re-run buildout with the following command in the terminal:
    ./bin/buildout
  • Restart the Zope server.
  • Install the skin in your Plone instance with QuickInstaller (Plone Control Panel -> Add/remove Products)
Now your Plone site should have the corresponding skin look.
