Accessing theme context from CommonScreens.xml in a component
Hello all:
I am wondering if there is a simple way to access the context of current
theme from the main-decorator in any component ?
Basically I want ot be able to do something like:
<screen name="main-decorator">
<section>
<actions>
<property-map resource="AccountingUiLabels" map-name="uiLabelMap" global="true"/>
...
<set field="layoutSettings.headerImageUrl" from-field="${layoutSettings.contextPath}/images/accounting.png" global="true" />
....
</actions>
.....
</section>
This will make the logo for each component themable.
Thank you.

Because the URLs provided in the theme data already have a full path provided, the mount point for the theme isn't stored anywhere, nor is there any guarantee that all theme resources will be stored under a single webapp. In tomahawk for example, some resources are stored in /images and others are stored in /tomahawk so there is no single "contextPath".

Yes you can do some of what your are asking but you should be using the "value" attribute instead of the "from-field" attribute in the set operation.
What I don't think you can do out of the box is make use of the ${layoutSettings.contextPath} variable simply because I don't think OFBiz provides such a thing. Because the URLs provided in the theme data already have a full path provided, the mount point for the theme isn't stored anywhere, nor is there any guarantee that all theme resources will be stored under a single webapp. In tomahawk for example, some resources are stored in /images and others are stored in /tomahawk so there is no single "contextPath".
So to summarize:
- Yes you can override the logo supplied by the theme data
- No you cannot have part of the logo URL path be data driven unless you find a way to supply that data yourself
