Hi,

I need to have a text only version of the website, but october can only have one active theme. I thought of creating a new layout with just the elements needed but how do I assign that layout when calling the pages? Any ideas on a good solution for a text only version of the site?

Set the layout of the page to the layout you need.

You can use environment variables to change the theme (cms.activeTheme config) based on a hostname or some other web server configuration.

Or if you are building your layout up from partials, you can call them with environment name:

description = "Universal layout"
==
<?php
function onStart() {
// Some logic to switch between 'text' and 'full' (or other)
 $this['siteMode'] = 'text'; 
}
?>
==
...
{% partial 'my-content-' ~ siteMode %}
...

So you can create partials:

• my-content-text.htm
• my-conent-full.htm

But this is just an idea out of my head. You have to test it.
