View.php doesn't seem to do anything

Permalink
Hi there, I've downloaded and loaded the theme fluidity and it's kind of nice. but I noticed that the view.php doesn't seem to do anything. I deleted it and refreshed the site but all stays the same.

I keep banging on in this forum about the view.php and I know from the documentation that it controls the single pages but what does it do because I can't see it doing anything.

Thanks

You'll need view.php for single pages. Either ones that are added with packages, like eCommerce, or when customizing /config/site_theme_paths.php to use your theme like:
$v->setThemeByPath('/login', "yourtheme");

Thanks Okhayat, you're a star. So if I'm right in saying then the view.php caters for single pages.

But . . . I've read else where that view acts as a default style and is used before the default.php and that if no view.php is located then the default.php is used. Is this correct?

Sorry another related question. I'm using a theme named Loadfoov2 and I noticed that in the view.php it has classes named:

<div class="rowcontainer">
<div class="fullcolumn">

Now I see from the css that the classes are not used or even present. So what gives?
That's why I ask about view.php.

I also have another question but I'll start a new post.

Thanks again
