How to switch theme over category in Zend Framework?

first, I don't need to "switch" layout.

I'm speaking of CSS theme, that means the layout remains the same.

What I need to do is switch a css class when on certains category.

Category are defined by the route (name & id in request params)

So I think of a ViewHelper, used in my layout.phtml to set a <body class="theme-category"></body>

But I'll to access the request object in my view helper, is it possible? Is it best practice?

Secondly I though to use the same process but pass the parameters in my controller, and fallback on a default one in my helper if none provided.

What are you feedbacks?

Solution

  • In your layout put this 

    <?=$this->headLink(); ?>

    And in the controllers you can add a specific css file like this

    $this->view->headLink()->appendStylesheet("/css/file.css");

    That will enable you to change the css theme on every controller. P.S. add it in the init function of the controller.
