Hi,
Design a framework "MyTheme" and put all the required images, css, js etc in
the WebServerResources folder e.g.
/WebServerResources
/css
/js
/images
Define the complete UI of you application using a default set of CSS files.
E.g. default.css contains is something like this:
body {
margin: 5px;
border: 1px dotted silver;
background: #efefef;
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
}
Copy the default.css file and save it as template.css and store in /css folder
along with default.css (for easy resource management) and modify the style as
follows:
body {
margin: @@bodyMargin@@;
border: 1px dotted @@bodyBorderColor@@;
background: @@bodyBackground@@;
}
Define a Theme entity and define all the above mentioned @@ delimited
properties.
Define a User entity which should store the user identifier and make
association between Theme and User as toManyThemes etc.
Write a direct action which should do the following.
1. Load the template.css file from the WebServerResources folder into a String.
2. Based on session and logged in user should read the Theme entity.
3. Use ERXSimpleTemplateParser class to replace all the @@ delimited in the
loaded template with the property values defined in the Theme object.
return the file parsed template as response.
In your component (PageWrapper probably the best place), define something as
follows;
<wo:ERXStylesheet framework="MyTheme" filename="css/default.css"/>
<wo:ERXStylesheet src="/path/to/directaction/which/renders/the/template"/>
I hope this will give a very rough (not suitable to use as is) idea, how to do
the theme for the application.
