What I am speaking of here is not using a theme that is not the default, such as default or phpkaox but actually using no theme and only returning the results of the module. I am thinking of converting my website, Life with Christ to XOOPS and it's primary function currently is a weblog provider. The users can totally customize their weblog's template by editing a template file (smarty). No part of my site shines through on their site. For an example, view http://geek.lifewithchrist.org/ and then http://wilderness.lifewithchrist.org/

You can see they are totally different but have common attributes because it's my site powering their custom templates. I would obviously be creating this module to handle the editing and displaying of the weblog but in the displaying of the weblog I do not wish to display a block inside of my system theme I want to display their site in total.

Thanks for any input,

Re: Can a module overide system global system theme?

This is a very neat idea, and would be a very powerful thing to do. We need to do a similar thing for a client website right now, essentially have the body of a XOOPS module page appear as part of another site's page. But short of basically writing a custom version of the module that calls a modified mainfile.php and/or common.php, I'm not sure if this is possible. Any ideas?

You want to set the theme of the entire page from the module? Is that correct?

include '../../mainfile.php';
$xoopsConfig['theme_set'] = "name_of_theme";

include 
XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php";

[...]

include 
XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php";

I'm sure it could be done, if each user had their own style sheet for their own site it would over-ride the default style sheet anyway. I was wondering about the possibility of creating your own theme on the fly, like they do with bulletin boards.........the rest of it would be some neat coding, that's for sure.
