Theming a Plugin in Croogo 3.05

[Frisches Deo]

Hi guys,

thank you for your work so far. I'm using Croogo 3.05 and want to extend it features. I've created a theme (which wasn't that easy, as every documentation i can find is made vor earlier Versions of the CMS) which i want to use in my plugin i'm creating right now. The Plugin is going to be a simple Backend Module with CRUD functionality and display in the frontend.

I'm stuck at how i can achieve to use my theme i created inside the views of my plugin? The CakePHP Documentation says

  // For CakePHP before 3.1
    public $theme = 'Modern';

    public function beforeRender(\Cake\Event\Event $event)
    {
        $this->viewBuilder()->setTheme('Modern');

        // For CakePHP before 3.5
        $this->viewBuilder()->theme('Modern');
    }

But how can i declare my plugin to use the theme i created and activated in the Backend of Croogo? 

Thank you and Best Regards

Hi

For the Frontend, use default theming system of Croogo

For you custom backend, you can set layout with a prefix in your plugin Controller for example :

class MyPluginAppController extends AppController

{
  public function beforeFilter()

    {
    if (!isset($this->request->params['admin']) && isset($this->request->params['manage'])) {

        $this->layout = 'MyPlugin.my_custom_layout_name';

    }
    ....
