instead of having every view inside the global theme directory. This seems to be more organised and more according to the concept of a module as a reusable and somehow atomic entity.
If this is not possible in Yii 1.1.8, where in the code should I start looking into in order to add this feature? (and then submit a patch).
Obrigado, Gustavo. Well, this is a quick and maybe dirty hack, but it’s working fine so far
<?php
/**
* ATheme implements theme encapsulation inside modules, so you can have your
* themed views and layouts inside the module instead of inside a global directory. The
* directory must be called themes and inside there should be a directory named
* after the theme and then the views directory, with a subdirectory per
* controller and a optional layouts directory in case you have a particular
* layout for that module:
*
* protected/modules/mymodule/themes/mytheme/views/mycontroller/myview.php
* protected/modules/mymodule/themes/mytheme/views/layouts
*
* To render a view in an action you must use / like this:
*
* $this->controller->render('/myview');
*
* You must declare the theme class like:
*
* 'themeManager' => array(
* 'themeClass' => 'ATheme',
* ),
*
* in your application's components, in main.php
*
* @author MetaYii

Since I’m not using skins, I didn’t try to get them to work under this scheme, but I think it could be done in the same way.
