Hi Vikram,

Nice to hear you again :)

About the new theme and module installer - probably you misunderstood some 
aspect in our previous announcements (or we didn't tell that clearly) - 4.5.0 
version is just a first step toward that, as an introduction into fully 
automatic theme and module installer. Currently we prepared some basement for 
it, but some work is still waiting to be done in upcoming eShop versions.

But, of course, you can install your theme in eShop. It should have the same 
file structure as in Azure theme (the default theme in 4.5.0), so just place 
your files in separate dir next to other themes in eShop and then follow the 
tutorial you found:
http://wiki.oxidforge.org/Tutorials/Understanding_theme_management_in_OXID_eShop_from_4.5.0

Btw, you don't need to override the 'oxviewconfig' anymore. It was included 
only in 4.5.0 beta versions and it's removed now (in 4.5.0). We will fix the 
tutorial according this change.

Best regards,
Dainius Bigelis

Subject: [oxid-dev-general] Question on theme packaging

Hello all

I'm building a theme for OXID eShop 4.5.0 and I had a question about how
this theme should be packaged.

As per available documentation on the OXID wiki, 4.5.0 will have a new
"module/theme installer" which will provide an interface to install new
themes.

Can someone provide more information on this, specifically:
- what is the packaging format and file structure for a theme, such that
it can be used with the new installer?
- which branch of the SVN codebase has a working version of this
installer, so I can test my theme  package?
- why is it necessary to override the 'oxviewconfig' modue with a new
'oxviewthemeconfig' module as specified in step (4) of the Example at
http://wiki.oxidforge.org/Tutorials/Understanding_theme_management_in_OXID_eShop_from_4.5.0#Example

Any advice or assistance will be appreciated. Thank you.

Vikram
