- Introduction
The Domain Theme module is a small module that allows you to assign different themes for each active domain created with the Domain Access module.
You may also set domain-specific settings for each theme.
1.1 Upgrading
If you used Domain Theme prior to 6.x.2.0rc7, you will need to run the Drupal upgrade script.
1.2 Contributors
Drupal user 'canen' http://drupal.org/user/16188 wrote the first implementation of this module. The current release version is based on that work.
- Installation
The Domain Theme module is included in the Domain Access download. To install, untar the domain package and place the entire folder in your modules directory.
When you enable the module, it will create a {domain_theme} table in your Drupal database.
2.1 Dependencies
Domain Theme requires the Domain Access module be installed and active.
2.2 Upgrading to Drupal 7
When you upgrade the module to Drupal 7, you may need to reset your theme settings for each domain. There are internal changes to the theme system that cannot be automated during the update process.
You should check your logo and favicon files after performing an upgrade.
- Configuration Options
The Domain Theme modules adds configuration options to the main module and to each of your domains.
3.1 Theme Settings
This module edits the global $custom_theme variable for your site. Other modules -- especially the Organic Groups module -- may also attempt to modify this variable.
If you use other modules that allow custom user or group themes, you may experience conflicts with the Domain Theme module. Use this setting to vary the execution order of the Domain Theme module. Lower (negative) values will execute earlier in the Drupal page building process.
You may need to experiment with this setting to get the desired result.
3.2 Domain-Specific Themes
When active, the Domain Theme module will add a 'theme' link to the Domain List screen.
When you click the 'theme' link for a domain record, you can set the default theme for use by that domain. This form works just like the default system theme selection form, with the following notes:
-- You cannot enable themes from this screen. Themes must be enabled globally.
You may configure domain-specific theme settings by clicking on the 'configure' link.
NOTE: When viewing this configuration page, the theme's domain-specific settings will be displayed and the page's theme will change.
3.3 Domain-Specific Theme Settings
New in versions 6.x.2.0rc7 and higher, you may configure custom theme settings per domain. This can be very useful in swapping out logo files per domain, or changed the color of Garland for each domain.
To enable theme-specific setting, click the configure link on the Domain Theme configure page. You will be presented with the standard Drupal theme configuration form.
On page load, your domain-specific theme settings will be loaded automatically.
If you configure a theme's settings without having selected a default theme for the domain, that theme will be made the default.
NOTE: When viewing this configuration page, the theme's domain-specific settings will be displayed.
NOTE: In Drupal 7, the logo and favicon files you upload per theme are no longer renamed to match the theme name. In order to have custom logos and favicons, you may need to name the files appropriately before they are uploaded.
3.4 Color Module Notes
The core Color module allows theme elements to have their colors reset, using CSS files and image transformations to copy necessary files to create subthemes. The primary use of Color module is by the default Garland theme.
Color module is a difficult case, and this module works as expected in Garland and Minelli (both core Drupal themes). You may experience issues with custom themes, or with modules that dynamically add additional CSS files to the Color module.
3.5 Conflicts With Other Modules
Due to how Drupal handles theme switching, you may experience a conflict if more than one module tries to alter the site theme. To work around this issue, Domain Theme provides a settings that allows you to adjust the module's execution order.
The form is found at the bottom of the settings page for Domain Access, under the 'Theme settings' header.
You may need to experiment with various weights before finding the correct setting for your site. Lower weights execute first. Zero is the default weight.
By design, Domain Theme should not reset the theme for a page if another module has already done so.
- Batch Updates
Domain Theme allows you to make batch changes to settings for all domains.
You may also choose to remove domain-specific theme selections. Note that the batch editing form only allows you to change the active theme for a domain. You cannot use the batch edit screen to modify theme settings per-domain.
Using the batch screen sets the active theme for all domains to the selected value(s).
This feature is useful if you wish to roll back custom changes.
- Developer Notes
This module may not work as expected with custom or contributed themes.
Use at your own risk.

-
settings Blob (bytea) A serialized array of theme settings for this domain. Currently not used.
