Create a hook that registers all available jCarousel skins into a registry so that when adding a jCarousel element to the page with a custom skin, you don't always have to pass the skin path.

/**
 * Implementation of hook_jcarousel_skins().
 */
function jcarousel_jcarousel_skins() {
  $skins = array();
  $skins['ie7'] = array(
    'css' => drupal_get_path('module', 'jcarousel') . '/jcarousel/skins/ie7/ie7.css',
    'name' => t('IE7'),
  );
  $skins['tango'] = array(
    'css' => drupal_get_path('module', 'jcarousel') . '/jcarousel/skins/tango/tango.css',
    'name' => t('Tango'),
  );
  return $skins;
}

This should be cached both in static cache and cache_set/get appropriately. The skin registry would be returned by calling jcarousel_skins(). Anyway to implement hook_jcarousel_skins() in a theme?

Themes can't implement hooks I think? Just write a tiny module for it when you need it.

Thanks for your continued contributions to this module! :)

I would add a custom option that adds no css and a description that this is for themes.

Status: Active » Fixed

This is implemented in the 2.x branch of the module. See the implementation the jcarousel.module includes for itself in jcarousel_jcarousel_skin_info(). The dev release is currently at http://drupal.org/node/982718, I hope to be creating a more official release shortly.

how to create a custom skin for jcarousel v 6.x-1.0
great module, thanks

create a small module (in my case as_jcarousel)
create a folder inside (skins in my case)
and point to the css file relative from your module (do not use full paths like in the example above)

<?php
/**
 * Implements hook_jcarousel_skin_info().
 */
function as_jcarousel_jcarousel_skin_info() {

  $skins = array();
  
  $skins['itunes'] = array(
    'title' => t('Itunes'),
    'file' => 'skins/itunes/itunes.css',
  );
  $skins['dvds'] = array(
    'title' => t('DVD'),
    'file' => 'skins/dvds/dvds.css',
  );
  return $skins;
}

?>
