[web2py] Re: Delete plugin will also delete default theme
Thank you, I found the problem. views/layout.html is REPLACED when the layout plugin installed and stay as is even you uninstall the plugin, which means the original one is not restored. I tried the following but others cause the same problem. http://web2py.com/layouts/static/plugin_layouts/plugins/web2py.plugin.layout_RedCity.w2p We can manually restore the original from other apps but it's nice to have feature to restore the original and backup when it's uninstalled.

[web2py] Re: Delete plugin will also delete default theme
that is is precisely...
The current recommended way of creating layout plugins works fine when
installing plugins but does leave you naked if you decide to uninstall all
layout plugins or uninstall the last layout plugin installed.
To get a better understanding of why this is true you can see the web2py
manual or examine the contents of a layout plugin (basically a tar archive)
:
http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/13?search=layout+plugin#Layout-plugins
In a nutshell, many layout plugins (all of them?) overwrite
views/layout.html or recommend that views/layout.html be replaced with the
following content:
{{extend 'plugin_layout_name/layout.html'}}
{{include}}
So restoring your original views/layout.html will give you your original
layout again.
Alternatively you could create a layout plugin that installs your original
views/layout.html (or even the entire default theme) for the version of
Web2py you used to create the application or your own custom version.

Have you confirmed the default theme files have actually been deleted? When using the layout plugin, had you modified your layout.html to extend the plugin layout.html, and if so, did you change it back after deleting the plugin?
