app_controller
var $view = null;
var $theme = null;
beforeRender
// also add a check for Auth.User later
if(in_array('admin', $this->params)) {
$this->view = 'Theme';
$this->theme = 'admin';
}
then I have a themed directory in views and inside that an admin directory
with layout/default.ctp and also elements/nav/main.ctp etc
works fine for me. Refer to css admin.css with $html->css('admin'); it first
looks for admin.css in the css/ dir then in webroot/themed/(themname)/css/
that works for me.
