Override module themes?

[oaao]

Trying to override

protected/modules/quicksearch/views/index.php

in

themes/my-site/..../index.php

but no combination of directories seems to work. Any idea why?

This should be possible based on http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1 ... cs.theming

on a related note, it might be a good idea to move all views out of module folders and into themes/default/.../ so they're easier to override without altering core files.

In protected\components\Module.php file try comment/delete the line:

Code: Select all

$this->setViewPath(Yii::app()->getBasePath() . '/modules/' . $this->getName(). '/views');

Thanks, but didn't seem to change anything for me. Where would the theme version of modules/quicksearch/index go?

It seems strange ...
Are you sure that you have pressed F5 after changes?

Where would the theme version of modules/quicksearch/index go?

protected\modules\quicksearch\views\index.php file and protected\modules\apartments\views\widgetApartments_list.php file

I'm using a theme by placing this in config/main.php:

Code: Select all


$config = array(
    'theme'=>'mysite',
 

which causes Yii to check

Code: Select all


themes/mysite/...
 

for most layout. The new version of Yii should be able to override modules and widgets inside your own theme directory, for example, something like:

Code: Select all


themes/mysite/views/quicksearch/index.php
themes/mysite/views/apartments/widgetApartments_list.php


but nothing I've tried works. Any idea where these files would be under themes?

We made some changes in structure of applications and themes are not supported by default at this moment.
You can try to make following changes to resolve it:
Open file /protected/components/ModuleUserController.php and add function:

Code: Select all

    public function getViewFile($viewName){
        if(($theme=Yii::app()->getTheme())!==null && ($viewFile=$theme->getViewFile($this,$viewName))!==false)
            return $viewFile;
        $moduleViewPath=$basePath=Yii::app()->getViewPath();
        if(($module=$this->getModule())!==null)
            $moduleViewPath=$module->getViewPath();



        $theme = Yii::app()->theme;
        if($theme && $theme->name){
            $themePath = $theme->getViewPath().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'modules'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$this->getModule($this->id)->getName();
            if(is_file($themePath.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$viewName.'.php')){
                $moduleViewPath = $themePath;
            }
        }
        return $this->resolveViewFile($viewName,$moduleViewPath,$basePath,$moduleViewPath);
    } 

After that, files for theme has following paths:
/themes/<theme name>/views/layouts (original path: /protected/views/layouts)
/themes/<theme name>/views/modules/<module name>/ (original path: /protected/modules/<module name>/views)
/themes/<theme name>/views/site/ (original path: /protected/views/site)
