[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Multiple Views?

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hi Chris,

Well, this is possible, but... it would require a plugin.
The public app is a Rails app, so themes are in that Rails convention. 

You would probably have to override this helper:
https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/public/app/helpers/application_helper.rb#L3-L8

Something that checks if there's a defined them for the selected repository...like

def include_theme_css
    css = ""
   # pull in bootstrap        
    css += stylesheet_link_tag("themes/#{ArchivesSpacePublic::Application.config.public_theme}/bootstrap", :media => "all")
    
    # if there's a repo_id, include the css them found in app/assets/stylesheets/themes/default/{REPO_ID}.less 
    if params[:repo_id] 
            css += stylesheet_link_tag("themes/#{ArchivesSpacePublic::Application.config.public_theme}/#{params[:repo_id]", :media => "all")
    else 
    # not repo_id param, just use the application default
           css += stylesheet_link_tag("themes/#{ArchivesSpacePublic::Application.config.public_theme}/application", :media => "all")
    end
  
  css.html_safe

end



Something like that...

b,chris.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Multiple Views?

We are beginning to look at customization options. If I understand the plugins/local folder, it allows you to override the existing styles/ themes view.

Question: Is is possible to use multiple themes in the public interface. For example, repository A wishes to have a blue -based theme, and repository B a brown-based theme.  Is this supported?
