Force specific theme

Permalink
Hi

Can anyone shed some light on how to force a particular theme?

I want to be able to do;

if($x)
    define("THEME", "my_theme");


I need to be able to force a specific theme under certain conditions, overriding the normal theme?

Thanks.

If the situations are just that you want certain pages to use certain themes, use the config/site_theme_paths.php file. Otherwise, you can use this code:
$theme = PageTheme::getByHandle('your_theme_handle');
$view = View::getInstance();
$view->setTheme($theme);


But note that this must occur before the theme starts to render... so it can't be in your theme templates or block views. I think you could put it in an on_page_view event somewhere.

Thanks Jordan.

This is what I ended up doing.
