Theme system for ZF2

ZF-Themes

Zend Framework 2 (ZF2) theme manager, _(*1)

Add the following line to composer.json of your application, _(*2)

"require": {
    "shadowfax/zf-themes": "dev-master"
}

In the index.php change, _(*3)

Zend\Mvc\Application::init(require 'config/application.config.php')->run();

with, _(*4)

Themes\Mvc\Application::init(require 'config/application.config.php')->run();

This will load the ThemeManager service., _(*5)

When creating a new module simply implement Themes\ModuleManager\Feature\ThemeProviderInterface, _(*6)

...

use Themes\ModuleManager\Feature\ThemeProviderInterface;

...

class Module implements ThemeProviderInterface
{

    ...

    public function getDir()
    {
        return __DIR__;
    }

    public function getNamespace()
    {
        return __NAMESPACE__;
    }

    ...

}

The themes should be in a subfolder called themes inside the module directory. There should be, atleast, a theme called default., _(*7)

Example tree: + themes + default + my_new_theme, _(*8)

The layout file layout.phtml should be in the root of the theme, all the rest works just like Zend Framework's view folder., _(*9)

Assets (CSS, JS, Images,...) can be stored in the assets folder under the theme. Here is an example entry for the default module., _(*10)

• default
  • assets
  • css
    • layout.css
    • bootstrap.css
  • js
    • jquery.js
  • application
  • index
    • index.phtml
  • layout.phtml

The module makes a route named assets. The url to assets is, _(*11)

/assets/:modules/*

Where * is the relative path to the actual asset., _(*12)

Making a port of a Zend Framework 2 application to a theme based applications should be a breeze as you only have to change the name of view forlder to default, move it into a folder named themes and move the layout file and you are ready., _(*13)
