Hello,

Is it possible to set the blog Theme, depending on the user reference set in the argument field of a view ?

Thx for help.

I am not too sure I understand the requested feature.

Also, I personally do not use views.

If you propose a patch (or hire someone to code the patch), I'll have a look at it.

I'm new to Drupal, but I have heared that the View module is essential to build special content. So i'm little bit surprised that you don't use it :|

When building a view, you can add a reference to a user, with both method, the filters and the references. The first one is a kind of static WHERE clause, while the second one is dynamic, the value come from the url, it's the method that is interesting.

The problem is that there is no specific url value to access your content, you have to choose it, in a rewrite style, in the configuration.

So I don't see a generic solution for that problem, but it's easy to solve it for each view separatly.

That's what i'll do. I'll post my code later.

Thx for your response.

Well, views might be convenient, but it is also heavy. It's not necessary when you can code your own views :-/

I'm still unclear about the feature: how is blogtheme supposed to interact with views, for what purpose, etc.

By all means, when you have some code, share it here. It may at least help other people with similar requests.

He means he will create a view to show blogs for multiple users,these blogs will be differentiated using arguments.

Is it possible to theme these views using this module based on the arguments passed into the view?

I need help too!

cheers

Hi, I finally use ThemeKey, wich allows changing your theme based on the actual url. I didn't had any problems like this one with it.

Sorry for this module :D
