What is Theme Manager
Theme Manager allows you to create the look & feel of individual sections or categories, including the detail pages in them.
On the Theme Manager page, when you click on Section Themes or Category Themes button, you will see the list of all sections/categories and you can select a different category list view layout (Blogview, Tableview or Thumbview) and theme file suffix for each of them.
For any given page, except search result pages, the category setup is checked first, then the section setup and finally the global setting (items list tab in configuration settings).
Examples
When a suffix is assigned (i.e. _services), you can copy and rename any view/css file to use that suffix. If the file is found it will be used, otherwise the default view/css files are used.
Example:
- /listings/detail.thtml - original detail page theme file
- /listings/detail_services.thtml - modified file that will be used only for articles that belong to Services section
To learn how to modify theme files and which files need to be modify, read Theme Customization articles
After adding new files into your theme, you must click on Clear File Registry link in JReviews Administration for JReviews to recognize new files.
You can also have different theme files for JReviews Menu items and Modules.
For the Menu Items, you can specify different theme suffix in the menu item's preferences.
For the Modules, you can specify different theme suffix in the module's preferences.
