$p = Page::getByID(HOME_CID);
$theme = $p->getCollectionThemeObject();
$default = $theme->getThemeHandle();
$v = View::getInstance();
$v->setThemeByPath('/login', $default);
$v->setThemeByPath('/page_forbidden', $default);

I don't see why not, this is pretty straightforward.

Just give me credit or something in it somewhere, referencing this post?

Hi - I'm trying to use this method to set my themes for different sections within my site. I'm not having such great luck; it seems to work fine for single pages, but doesn't cascade down through the structure of my site.

For example, I have:
$p = Page::getByID(HOME_CID);
$theme = $p->getCollectionThemeObject();
$default = $theme->getThemeHandle();
$v = View::getInstance();
$v->setThemeByPath('/esoc', "ESOC");
$v->setThemeByPath('/limnology', "CIRES");
$v->setThemeByPath('/eo', "ESOC");

I want the theme ESOC to be allowed to the /esoc/ directory and everything within it. However, when I add the trailing slash behind 'esoc' it doesn't work. If I remove the trailing slash, it works only for the page /esoc/ but no subsequent pages beneath it.

Do you know of a way to make this cascade down for everything starting at /esoc/ and all its subpages?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
