plone.theme 3.0.6

What you have to do

First, you should create a marker interface:

>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> class IMyTheme(Interface):
...     """Marker interface for skins part of 'My Theme'
...     """

Then, register this as a theme layer in ZCML:

<interface

interface=”.interfaces.IMyTheme” type=”zope.publisher.interfaces.browser.IBrowserSkinType” name=”My Theme” />

The title here must match the name of the theme/skin selection in portal_skins.

How it works

Behind the scenes, the <interface /> registration marks IMyTheme with the “IInterface” IThemelayer, and registers IMyTheme as a utility named “My Theme” and providing IBrowserSkinType.

We do something to this effect in tests/tests.zcml.

Let us define the “My Theme” skin selection:

>>> from Products.CMFCore.utils import getToolByName
>>> portal_skins = getToolByName(layer['portal'], 'portal_skins')
>>> default_skin = portal_skins.getDefaultSkin()
>>> skin_path = portal_skins._getSelections()[default_skin]
>>> portal_skins.addSkinSelection('My Theme', skin_path)

In tests/tests.zcml we have registered two version of a view called @@layer-test-view. One, for the default skin layer, simply outputs “Default”. The other outputs “My Theme”.

Before we turn on the skin, we will get the default view.

>>> from plone.testing.z2 import Browser
>>> browser = Browser(layer['app'])

>>> browser.open(layer['portal'].absolute_url() + '/@@layer-test-view')
>>> from __future__ import print_function
>>> print(browser.contents)
Default

However, if we turn the skin on, we should see the effects of the marker interface being applied.

>>> portal_skins.default_skin = 'My Theme'
>>> import transaction
>>> transaction.commit()

>>> browser.open(layer['portal'].absolute_url() + '/@@layer-test-view')
>>> print(browser.contents)
My Theme

And if we switch back:

>>> portal_skins.default_skin = 'Plone Default'
>>> transaction.commit()

>>> browser.open(layer['portal'].absolute_url() + '/@@layer-test-view')
>>> print(browser.contents)
Default

2.0 - 2010-07-18

• Update license to GPL version 2 only. [hannosch]

2.0b2 - 2010-03-05

• Protect against running multiple times. This can happen when using ++skin++ traversers or VirtualHostMonster. [wichert]

2.0b1 - 2010-01-02

• Fix an error introduced by my previous adjustment. If a skin layer extending the default layer was used (which is typical), then the default layer would end up with higher precedence than browser layers not extending the default layer. [davisagli]

2.0a2 - 2009-11-13

• Inherit from the CMFDefault layer again, for compatibility with products that depend only on CMF but are also usable within Plone, and register views to the CMFDefault layer. [davisagli]

2.0a1 - 2009-04-05

• Avoid inheriting from the CMFDefault browser layer and rather define our own. We don’t have anything in common with the CMFDefault layer. [hannosch]

• Declare test dependencies in an extra. [hannosch]

• Specify package dependencies. [hannosch]

1.1 - 2009-04-04

• Make sure the theme layer takes precedence over other browser layers. [davisagli]
