Theme directory as variable

Most template files have references to the "default" theme folder for images, however if I want to create a new template I have to modify many of these references to point to the new theme directory. Also, if I change the name of the directory for any reason, I have to go through these references all over again.

How about setting up a variable available to every template file which contains the current theme name or the current theme directory...

So,

<img src="catalog/view/theme/default/image/...">

Could be:

<img src="catalog/view/<?php echo $theme;?>/default/image/...">

Or even easier, a variable containing the path to the theme's image folder:

<img src="<?php echo $theme_image;?>/...">

WordPress does something like this with the bloginfo() function to retrieve a ton of info which makes theme development much easier for designers and developers.

This would save time and make building OC templates much easier.

What do you guys think?

I think that sounds like a great idea - finding it frustrating at the moment having to keep adding in that long path!...

try

Wow - that was fast!
I did just come across this in another thread, although it actually ends up being more code that just typing out the theme name.

What would be ideal would be a variable that included the overall theme path, something like:

Put this on the top of your header.tpl

<?php
define('THEME', $this->config->get('theme_path'));
echo THEME;
?>

And now you can use that everywhere in your theme.
