How to use diazo and editskiswitcher together

I want to use a diazo theme based on no theme(!). i.e. no sunburst, not classical plone. And at the same time to use e.g. Sunburst for admin purposes. Maybe via editskiswitcher. Is it possible?

It seems that diazo uses the base theme both for the active theme and for the unthemed hostnames.

Solution

  • Assuming your Plone Site is in 192.168.45.131 and you have following entry in your hosts file:

    192.168.45.131    192.168.45.131-unthemed

    Create a Plone Site (e.g. "Plone")

    http://192.168.45.131:8080/Plone/portal_quickinstaller/manage_installProductsForm

      [x] Collective Skin Switcher      3.1
  [x] Diazo theme support       1.1.1
  [Install]

    http://192.168.45.131:8080/Plone/portal_properties/editskin_switcher/manage_propertiesForm

     edit_skin=Sunburst Theme
 switch_skin_action=based on specific domains
 specific_domains=http://192.168.45.131-unthemed:8080

    http://192.168.45.131:8080/Plone/@@theming-controlpanel

      (Create and) activate a diazo_theme

    http://192.168.45.131:8080/Plone/++theme++diazo_theme/@@theming-controlpanel-mapper

      add the following to rules.xml
    <after css:theme-children="body" css:content-children="body" />
    [Save File]

    http://192.168.45.131:8080/Plone/@@theming-controlpanel

      Advanced settings
    Unthemed host names=192.168.45.131-unthemed
    Theme base=(Unstyled)
    [ ] Use popup overlays for simple forms
        # this also disables/enables popup overlays on unthemed host names

    http://192.168.45.131:8080/Plone will show your diazo theme

    http://192.168.45.131-unthemed:8080/Plone will show Plone's Sunburst Theme
