File structure

A theme is identified by it's unique alias. If you have your theme under the directory app/View/Themed/MyTheme, then your theme's alias is MyTheme.

A theme.json file is also required. You can see the JSON file used for the default theme here: theme.json.

Structure

For example, you have a theme with alias MyTheme. All your files should be placed like this:

• app/View/Themed/MyTheme/
  • Elements/
  • Helpers/
    • custom.php
  • Layouts/
    • default.ctp
  • Nodes/
    • view.ctp
  • ...
  • webroot/
    • css/
      • theme.css
    • js/
      • theme.js
    • img/
      • screenshot.png
    • theme.yml

Do not forget the theme.json file. Your theme will not be available in the admin panel otherwise.

If using a version of Croogo 1.4 from before Dec 24th 2011 then your theme requires a theme.yaml file as explained here: 1.3 > Designers > Themes > Yaml file.
