Making theme set and available by setting theme related properties in controller
Prior to cakephp 2.0
class UserController extends AppController {
var $view = 'Theme'; //tells controller to use "ThemeView" class instead of the default "View" class
var $theme = 'WhiteFeather'; //name of the theme folder which is supposed to be placed at views/themed/
}
Cakephp 2.0
class UserController extends AppController {
public $viewClass = 'Theme'; //tells controller to use "ThemeView" class instead of the default "View" class
public $theme = 'WhiteFeather'; //name of the theme folder which is supposed to be placed at View/Themed
}
Theme can be changed within a controller function or in beforeFilter/beforeRender by overriding the theme property:
$this->theme = 'BlackFeather';
