- Register a new hook in your current theme
// app/apps/themes/my_theme/config/config.json
"on_active": ["....."],
"front_default_layout": ["my_theme_set_custom_layout"] # my_theme_set_custom_layout is the helper name - Create the helper for the hook
# app/apps/themes/my_theme/main_helper.rb
Note 1: Don't use 'index' as layout because it exists in your theme and default_theme (new versions will be removed from default_theme)
def my_theme_set_custom_layout(args)
args[:layout] = 'application' # set the name of the custom layout to be used
end
Note 2: The template render priority is the following:
Template:
themes/default/views/layouts/<my_layout>
camaleon_cms/default_theme/layouts/<my_layout>
/layouts/<my_layout>
Directory:
my_project/app/apps
camamleon_cms_gempath/app/apps
my_project/app/views - Restart server
Note: There more hooks that permit to customize templates and layouts for each section of frontend, like: on_render_index, on_render_category, ...
