Ok,

I have searched and searched and can't get themes to work. I always end up with a WSOD.

classes\controller\templating.php:

public function action_index()

{

//Login Check
$userCheck = \Auth::check();

if(!$userCheck){

\Response::redirect('login');

}
//User Logged In
\Theme::instance()->set_template('layouts/vatusa');
// MORE CODE
}

The theme is in "fuel\app\themes\vatusa

Assets are in public\themes\vatusa\

fuel\app\config\theme.php

return array(

'active' => 'vatusa',

'fallback' => 'vatusa',

'paths' => array(APPPATH.'themes',),

'assets_folder' => 'themes',

'view_ext' => '.php',

'require_info_file' => false,

'info_file_name' => 'theme.info',

);

I have gone over the documentation and even looked at the stuff here: https://github.com/fuel/depot/

something is obviously wrong or missing here.........

Where are you rendering your template?

Easiest is to take a copy of Controller_Template (which is in fuel/core/controller/template.php), swap the View code in there for Theme code, and use that as a base controller for your controllers.

In the after() method, if the method called didn't return a response, you create a new response with the Theme instance as payload.

I'll see if I can add a Theme base controller to the framework, so you don't have to invent the wheel...

Thank you Harro,

I don't mind inventing the wheel. Just took a 15th look at the depot code to get it sorted out.

Harro

Something like http://bin.fuelphp.com/snippet/view/kz

Just have your controllers extend it, set the $template property in your controllers to the desired page template, and use \Theme::instance()->set_partial() in your methods to define template partials.

Providing you've got the theme.php config correct, this should work...

Thanks for all the help Harro, I am learning more and more every moment working with Fuel.

I have the theme system working, now I just need to pass variables to my partials. I am calling $theme->set_partial('header','layouts/header')->set('title', $title); and in the partial i am calling <?php echo $title; ?>

But I am getting an undefined variable exception.

Harro

That is exactly how it should, so the problem must be elsewhere.

if you do a

var_dump($__data)

in the partial, you should see everything that is passed to the view.
