Re: Themes - Best practice?
If you really want a single folder and can live with the exposed view- files, then a simple symlink should get you there. That is, if you deploy on a server where you are allowed to create symlinks.

I guess you missed the point that any theme in CakePHP has two components The first is the themed views found under /views/themed/themename and the second component is webroot items for the said theme like css, js and images and they are found under /webroot/themed/themename/css /webroot/themed/themename/js /webroot/themed/themename/images etc See http://www.sanisoft.com/blog/2007/12/29/theming-your-cakephp-apps-v12/ I guess the solution will be obvious from here onwards :) I have implemented themes in Cheesecake-Photoblog but the user can only change them via the admin interface not not upload a new theme.

A bit more details on how your current work flow is will help I'm speaking of NoseRub (see a running instance on http://identoo.com). People can install this service on their server (eg. http://media-adventures.de). Currently, they have to modifiy some views and also added some images to somewhere in app/webroot. I want to give them the ability to completely change their layout by just placing one directory somewhere - where then all views and images are present. Similar to wordpress where you have the wp-content/ themes/ directory. I see the advantage of views not being accessible from the browser's document root, but see the downside regarding the additional php calls to "render" the images. Therefore, I wanted to know other user's best practice. I _could_ build a upload method, so that people upload a zip where the following structure is in: /my_theme /my_theme/images /my_theme/views And then expand the views to views/themes/my_theme and the images somewhere in app/webroot/. I only think, that this might complicate developing of such themes for NoseRub. So, how did you solve this issues with your CakePHP applications?

Re: Themes - Best practice?
But this would mean to process the image in PHP and not being able to deliver the image by the webserver directly, right? So, instead of it would be right? This would make i18n easier, but this also would mean a "slower" webserver. Does anyone currently use this method? What are other advantages, disadvantages?

Re: Themes - Best practice?
Take a look at the html helper's image() method. It should be relatively easy to override with AppHelper to suit your needs.
