ZF-Themes
=========

[](#zf-themes)

Zend Framework 2 (ZF2) theme manager

Add the following line to composer.json of your application

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

```

In the index.php change

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

```

with

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

```

This will load the `ThemeManager` service.

When creating a new module simply implement `Themes\ModuleManager\Feature\ThemeProviderInterface`

```
...

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`.

Example tree:

- themes
    - default
    - my\_new\_theme

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

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

- 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

```
/assets/:modules/*

```

Where `*` is the relative path to the actual asset.

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.
