So what should i do? > 1. move skins to local directory (every user should have own copy of skins) That´s probably not a bad idea, as a potential user will most likely use a modified version of the templates anyway, to match his personal taste or corporate design. Also, you´ll need image files in local directories so that they can be accessed by the webserver. > 2. change path to absolute to get these skins from pear/forum/lib/skins > - I'm not sure they can be achieved if pear directory > is in somewhere outside location Not a good idea. The PEAR installation path may vary on different systems. > 3. change IT for finding files also in include directories - the worse > imo idea Well I don´t particularly like the thought, either :-) > 4. don't use IT :) You´d have the same problem with any other template class. Another alternative to the first solution might be adding a new method to the PEAR base class that determines the include directory that is actually used for PEAR. This could look like this: function getPearDirectory() { return dirname(__FILE__); } You could then set the template directory by doing something like this: $templateDir = PEAR::getPearDirectory().'/forum/lib/skins'; Just an idea...
