How to disable an app for a specific theme

[ReyDev]

I have an app that changes the navigation but i want to disable it for specific theme. how can i do it ?

[WP V0RT3X]

Go to a member profile in AdminCP and click on Edit Preferences. There you can find such a theme choser.

I use it in a some of my plugins.

thanks, But there is no option for this. I actually want to prevent hooking up classes on a particular theme.

You want the user to select the themes the plugin is active, right? Then take a look at the code and you have what you want.

I'm not sure if you want this to be used in your board only or if you want to release something and exclude an app from a theme, so here goes a hard coded way.

In the \IPS\yourApp\Application::init(), add:

	/**
	 * Init
	 *
	 * @return	void
	 */
	public function init()
	{
		if( \IPS\Dispatcher::i()->controllerLocation === 'front' )
		{
			\IPS\Theme::switchTheme( X );
		}
	}

This will force the app to run in another theme.

X is the ID of the theme.

This code does not work because this app does not have a controller on the front location
I just want to prevent the code of this app from being hooked on a particular theme

 is there a way to disable an app by code?

[Adriano Faria]

It doesn’t need to have a front end controller and I never mentioned it. You need to hook in the Applications.php, which ALL apps must have! Fromt there will work everywhere, including when a hook from this app runs.

Anyway, to disable an app, use:

$app = \IPS\Applications::load( ‘appkey’ );

$app->enabled = 0;

$app->save();

 

Not tested. Doing in on a phone.

Adriano's code will disable the app completely, which I guess is also not what you want:D

1. You'll have to tell us how you're changing the navigation:D

2. You *could*  use \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->skin to get the members theme id and do something like:

{{if \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->skin === 3}}
this will be displayed only in theme 3
{{else}}
everybody else will see this
{{endif}}

Something similar could be done in Theme::hookData(). It's really a powerful system, so I would suggest to spend some time to see how exactly it's working:)

You could also create a hook on Template::compileTemplate to do whatever you want there, for example to remove the hook before the template is compiled;) BUT I'm afraid, that's just asking for trouble and it's something what you could do for your own board, but I don't think that we would allow such changes in the marketplace!

I’m struggling to understand the issue there. 😀

yes, you didn't mention it but this code means :

\IPS\Dispatcher::i()->controllerLocation === 'front'

No. It means that will run in any place of the front end, not specifically in a controller. It can be a hook, a ModeratorCP extension, etc.

this exactly what i was looking for.

as far as i realized , all hooks are in \IPS\IPS::$hooks. i can remove any hook from it with the unset method. but i just wanted to know is there a helper or method in IPS which do it?

[Daniel F]

Nope, there's no official helper method:)
