Re: [symfony-users] Re: Templates in a single directory

[Pietrino Atzeni]

Could setting the web dir in the project help?

I mean, in the project configuration you can call 
$this->setWebDir('path/to/your/web/dir');

In this way, you can have different css, js. For the layout, you can 
handle this in your views.

Hope this helps,
Pietro

Unfortunately no, the plugin itself (for what I've seen) it's not
useful, since what I'm trying to achieve is quite specific. I'll maybe
try to look at its source code to see how a few things are done, maybe
that will help...

Hi everybody,

for the project I've been working on I need to be able to define
multiple themes.
With "theme" I mean the full thing, including php code for the
templates, images, stylesheets and javascripts too.

But symfony templates structure is not quite friendly for this kind of
operation, since we have files on

- apps/frontend/templates/
- apps/frontend/modules/*/templates/
- web/images
- web/css
- web/js

Which is not a good solution to mantain.
My idea was to package themes in the "data" directory, creating
something like

- data
-- themes
--- default
---- css
---- js
---- images
---- templates
---- modules
----- module1
----- module2

Basically I need to be able to put every file needed in a single
directory (like most CMS do).

Since the data dir is not world wide accessible, I thought about
creating a task that creates symlinks in the web directory, so this
problem is easily solved.

Now about the PHP files: what's the best solution to handle this?
I think I have two choices:
1 make symfony look into the right directories, creating custom view
and partial classes
2 making the apps/frontend/templates and apps/frontend/modules/*/
templates symlink to the directory theme

I like more the first solution, but after a while looking in the
symfony core I still can't figure out how to "redirect" all paths to
the theme dir. Setting the global layout is as easy as doing

sfConfig::set('sf_app_template_dir', $themeDir . '/templates')

But module templates are a bit harder to configure. Actually, I still
don't know how to do that :)

So this is my question: which one is the best approach? I'd rather not
have symlinks all over my project, but that seems to be the easiest
solution (one console task to handle everything, no symfony classes to
override, no risks to forget about this or that...).
