Layout usage bewteen backend and frontend

[motchju]

Hi all,

In my current project I do some action from the backend and/or the frontend.

I need to share some layouts, however at this moment, I am stuck because the frontend and the backend don't use the same Theme.

Themes/Adminlte for the admin
Themes/XXXfor the frontend

I am sending some email from the backend and the frontend, using the layout "mail.blade.php"

I extends it via @extends('layouts.mail') which is either taking the Adminlte or the XXX theme

The issue is that I have to duplicate this layout because the frontend and the backend are different theme

One solution could be to create a symlink from one theme to the other, however I have to replicate this symlink on every environment.

Is there a way to specify the Theme before I send the email ?

Thank you

Hi,

You can set the active theme in your controllers if you need to overwrite that. This will enable you to use a layout from a certain theme.

You can do that using the Stylist class, $stylist->activate('Flatly');

Thanks I will try it asap, in the meantime I mark the question as resolved.
