This is a simple extension to pick themes. The user chooses a theme from a dropdown box and the theme choice is stored in a cookie, the extension could easily be changed to work with a model too.
The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.
Either run
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist cozumel/yii2-themepicker "*"
or add
"cozumel/yii2-themepicker": "*"
to the require section of your composer.json file.
Once the extension is installed, simply use it in your code by :
<?= \cozumel\ThemePicker\ThemePicker::widget(); ?>
You will need to place it in each theme where you want to use it.
The default theme path is set as @app/themes. You may need to change this depending where your themes are.
Line 61 ThemePicker.php
Lines 30-36 Bootstrap.php
Just change @app/themes to @app/web/themes or wherever your themes are.
Yii::t('theme_picker', 'Choose a theme')
Line 22 ThemePicker.php
The default cookie length is set to 180 days, this can be changed on line 44 ThemePicker.php
Comments and feedback are welcome, and thanks to the Yii community for a great framework.
