[theme] Changing views path

[Sarunas]

I creating new theme and I want to override module views without editing script files
from:
/apps/customer/views/
to:
/customer/themes/MyThemename/views/

Is this possible?

Hey,

Not only that is possible, but mailwizz has super duper theming system that will let you accomplish the above and much more.
Have a look at https://forum.mailwizz.com/threads/landon-a-free-frontend-landing-theme.230/ as a demo theme to help you get started theming mailwizz.

Thanks.

Thanks. Nice theme but this works only in frontend
Maybe I can find theme for customer with custom module views from /apps/customer/views/

It's just an example, you can as well transform it into one for customer area, just have a look at how it is formatted, at the entry script and you'll understand how to create one for customer area as well.

Just a hint, if you create a theme for customer, say a theme named "whatever", it must contain only:

--whatever (folder containing theme files)
----- WhateverTheme.php - the entry file, copy it from the demo theme and keep only the run() method, and empty that method
----- views - the folder that can contain folders to override the ones from customer/views folder

Then just pack it, go to Mailwizz -> Backend -> Extend -> Themes, click on the customer tab and install it from there, then simply copy folders from apps/customer/views into the theme view folder in order to override the defaults.

It's harder to explain, in practice it's very simple actually.

Have one more question how to change widget path?
like:

<?php $this->widget('customer.components.web.widgets.LeftSideNavigationWidget');?>

 

[twisted1919]

if your theme is named "abc" and it is located in /customer/themes, you can create in abc a folder named components, in in a folder called web, in it a folder called widgets and in it a file called AbcLeftSideNavigationWidget.php. Inside this file you should have:

<?php
require_once Yii::getPathOfAlias('customer.components.web.widgets.LeftSideNavigationWidget') . '.php';
class LeftSideNavigationWidget extends LeftSideNavigationWidget {

   // your code here
   public function run() {
        parent::run();
   }
}

Now you can load your new widget anywhere by simply doing:

<?php $this->widget('root.customer.themes.abc.components.web.widgets.AbcLeftSideNavigationWidget');?>

Hello,
I have done everything so said and then I install it. But I can't see the theme in the list. I only get an empty list.
Inside the function run do I have to write something?
Thank you

@Dimitris - You can attach the theme class file here and we can see what you did.
