Changing Plugins depending on themes

[Ianardo]

Is it possible to have a plugin appear only in a specific theme?
In the example below (Keyline_2) the menu is shown as tabs in the top section but when you switch themes (to Keyline) you don't have a menu.
I want to add an html nugget with a menu in it but I don't want it to appear on the first theme.

Any suggestions?

Yes, you can do that.

For that you need to put a sidebar.tpl into the theme that should not show the sidebar plugin. You will see this code in it (excerpt):

Code: Select all

{foreach from=$plugindata item=item}
    <div class="serendipitySideBarItem container_{$item.class}">
        {if $item.title != ""}<h3 class="serendipitySideBarTitle {$item.class}">{$item.title}</h3>{/if}
        <div class="serendipitySideBarContent">{$item.content}</div>
    </div>
{/foreach}

Now you can modify that to skip the HTML nugget:

Code: Select all

{foreach from=$plugindata item=item}
{if $item.title != 'Menu Nugget'}
    <div class="serendipitySideBarItem container_{$item.class}">
        {if $item.title != ""}<h3 class="serendipitySideBarTitle {$item.class}">{$item.title}</h3>{/if}
        <div class="serendipitySideBarContent">{$item.content}</div>
    </div>
{/if}
{/foreach}

See the IF statement I wrapped around the output? This will prevent showing the nugget with the title "Menu Nugget" in your theme.
