Yii2 Theme Manager

Pluggable themes for Yii2

This Yii2 plugin provides easy theming for Yii2 projects. And allows to create and use themes as composer packages. So changing a theme on a site becomes as simple as changing a single require line in composer.json.

At the moment there are several themes available:

• AdminLte - yii2-theme-adminlte
• Agency - yii2-theme-agency
• DataServ - yii2-theme-dataserv
• Flat - yii2-theme-flat
• Hyde - yii2-theme-hyde
• Obaju - yii2-theme-obaju
• Yii2 original - yii2-theme-original
• Sailor - yii2-theme-sailor
• Twenty Fifteen - yii2-theme-twentyfifteen

Installation

This package is not intended to be required directly in your project. Instead you should require theme(s) you've chosen and this package will get required as a dependency.

Please see hiqdev/hisite-template as example of project using this theming library.

Idea

The main goal of this theming library is to allow creation and use of easy pluggable themes: to change a theme on a site it is enough just to require other theme package in project's composer.json.

To achieve this goal several technologies were used:

• Yii2 theming with pathMap auto assembling;
• Yii2 dependency injection for widgets and menus;
• composer-config-plugin to create themes as plugins i.e. code combined and distributed together with configuration.

This package provides:

• bootrstrappable ThemeManager component that collects and setups in application view proper Theme object with proper pathMap;
• widgets and menus that can be configured through params and substituted with DI;
• theme DebugPanel showing actual pathMap.

Configuration

This extension is supposed to be used with composer-config-plugin.

Also you can use it usual way by copy-pasting config. See src/config/web.php for configuration example.

Available configuration parameters:

• themeManager.defaultTheme - default theme
• copyright.year - CopyrightYears widget
