Get current theme
-
Hi!
(first of all, sorry for my poor english).
I have a big problem guys.
I want to use a custom theme, if i am on other domain.Let’s called the theme name for webshop: “webshop”.
If user come to for example webshop.com, he should see this webshop theme.I want to change theme, if user come to myplugin.com, to “myplugin” theme.
Ok, user can access myplugin.com directly.
Till here, no problem, I am checking the domain, and if user on myplugin.com, i order wp toswitch_theme('myplugin', 'myplugin');
my problem is, if the user goes back to webshop.com, i don’t know, what was the original theme for that page (admin can use any template for webshop).
if i am using switch_theme function it will update the wp_options table, and set the default theme to switchet theme.
I thought, i can hack this, and at my very first line of my plugin, i get the actual theme, store it into a session variable, and remember it. But this concept is not good, because any other plugin can switch the theme.
And from this point, i have no solution to get the original theme name.
So, what can i do?
I see several solutions for this problem:1.) In my plugins config settings, admin should define, what is the default theme name.
PRO: i will know the default theme name.
CONTRA: admin need’s to define this theme in the config file manually, it could be misspelled, but if he/she change the default theme at the dashboard, he should rewrite it at the config file.
CONSEQUENCES: bad soulution, too many possibilites for errors.2.) Somehow i can read it from the database.
PRO: i always know, what was the template for the wp from the db.
CONTRA: none
CONSEQUENCES: this is the ideal solution, i think i shouldn’t explane ths.3.) Switching theme without replace the values of current_theme and template rows in the options table.
PRO: i always know, what was the template for the wp from the db.
CONTRA: i don’t see any contra for this
CONSEQUENCES: this could be an optimal solution too.4.) i can not do this
PRO: no pros.
CONTRA: i think, i shouldn’t explain this.
CONSEQUENCES: this is not a solution5.) when my plugin installs, i’am getting out what is did set in the options table, and store it in the options table.
PRO: I will always know, what is the template from the dadatabase.
CONTRA: i need to care about this, if user change the template at the dashboard, and if another plugin, (befor my plugin load) switch the theme, i won’t know, what is the main template for WP.
CONSEQUENCES: this is not a solution bacuase of contras.SUMMARIZE:
So, somehow, i should know, what is the template, what admin does set on the Dashboard.So as i see, solution number 2 and 3 could be the real solution for my problem.
Please help me with this, i really need it.
Thank you
