  • Tag set to “themes”
  • State changed from “new” to “open”
  • Title changed from “Three Column Blog Headlines View displays linked blog page in wrong page theme layout” to “Three Column View displays linked items in same three column theme layout”

  The users expects items clicked in the sidebars to appear in a default 2-column view, but any item clicked remains in the 3-column view. This is not module specific.

  Need to determine if current behavior is desired as it has benefits.

  • Assigned user set to “expNinja”

  This is the single most complained about issue from my client(s). The blog aggregate on the Home page is their main source of presenting/announcing new site content. They format their blog posts to make them look good with graphics, etc for the two column layout. So the end-users are not seeing the proper layout of their content because 90%+ of the time they are linking from the blog aggregate on Home page to the blog entries.

  If there are indeed "benefits" behind the scenes in Exponent for this behavior it should at least be configurable to allow the linked pages to be displayed using their specified page theme layouts.

  As it stands right now...the system is performing as expected...this is the expected effect...meaning the theme variation will NOT change unless moving to a new section (page).

  Two possible work-arounds to get the desired effect as listed above:

  1. Implement an acton map that would "force" a theme/subtheme variation for the module/view http://docs.exponentcms.org/action-maps

  2. Customize your theme/subthemes to reroute links off those pages
     <?php exponent_theme_reRoutActionTo("index.php"); ?> if you place that at the top of a subtheme or any theme it will route to whichever subtheme you specify in the code above, it will use the default index.php
     <?php exponent_theme_reRoutActionTo("subthemes/Two Column.php"); ?> that will kick you off to the Two Column subtheme on any action

  • State changed from “open” to “resolved”
  • Assigned user changed from “expNinja” to “dleffler”

  We'll close this since there is a work-around and exponent is operating as expected/designed.
