View - Theme

Benefit

Using views, change the system theme for pages like node/123.

Example

You could use the garland theme for your site but the pushbutton theme for pages like node/123 that are authored by Administrators in the last ten days.

How it works

Use the views module to make a custom list nodes, filtering them by any combination of:

• taxonomy term,
• vocabulary,
• content type,
• author,
• author's role,
• node queue,
• node creation time,
• number of comments,
• ... and other parameters.

Change the system theme if a node matches your criteria. This module checks if a node is in a view.

Compared with taxonomy_theme.module

• Relative advantages of taxonomy_theme.module:
  • There is no need to create views, which can be complicated.
  • Change the theme for any kind of page through the Extended mode, not just pages like node/123.
• Relative advantages of viewstheme.module:
  • Use more node attributes (e.g. author or number of comments) when deciding which theme to use.
  • Use any combination of the node attributes to make a rule.
  • Create a prioritized chain of rules.

NOTE: This module will not change the theme for taxonomy pages, user profiles, or any non-node page.
