Drupal 6 override theme for a page in a module

Posted Tue, 04/28/2015 - 13:22 by admin

This is actually quite simple. Lets say you want to override the admin theme only when creating a new node of type TYPEX

<?php
/**
* Instance of hook_init().
*/
function MYMODULENAME_init() {
  global $custom_theme;
 
  // Get the theme settings
  $theme_default = variable_get('theme_default', 'garland');
  $admin_theme = variable_get('admin_theme', 'garland');
 
  //Override theme when creating new TYPEX nodes
  if(arg(0) == 'node' && arg(1) == 'add' && arg(2) == 'TYPEX')
  {
    $custom_theme = $theme_default;
  }
  //Keep the normal admin theme for all node add/edit/clone
  elseif((arg(0) == 'node' && arg(2) == 'clone') || arg(0) == 'admin' || (arg(0) == 'node' && (arg(1) == 'add' || arg(2) == 'edit'))) {
    $custom_theme = $admin_theme;
  }
  //Normal theme for normal pages
  else
  {
    $custom_theme = $theme_default;
  }
}
?>
