Hello, I have 3 dynamic albums that are using the Matrix theme. How can I have them use my custom theme just like the rest of my site? The 3 pages in question are: Most Recent, Top Rated, Most Views. I'm trying to make a consistent look throughout all the pages of the site. Thanks for any help! |

That's what I did before I wrote this post. But, it doesn't work--it keeps pulling the Matrix theme, instead. some kind of cache issue?

Make sure your default theme and your root album theme are all your custom.
From your root album, you can change theme recursively.

I double checked, and all my pages are displaying the correct theme, except for those dynamic albums! Is there a way to force the dynamic albums to display my custom theme? Any other ideas?
Update: When I try to load a different theme (Siriux) for the dynamic albums in the DYNAMIC ALBUMS admin page, the dynamic albums will display the Siriux theme , but the RATINGS album will still show the Matrix theme. Something is going on here....

Yeah, dig into the code and hardcode it.
Although I find it hard to believe the ratings albums are hardcoded to matrix.

Dave, already double checked that. Still, only Matrix is showing. I'm thinking something in the code somewhere may have been messed up...I don't know. Btw, you did this theme for me years ago!

Test the behavior with 2 different un customized themes.

I tested with Siriux and only the ratings album changes. The other two albums (dynamic) MOST RECENT and MOST VIEWS do not change (they stay on Matrix).
So, to recap my problem:
I can't change the theme for MOST RECENT and MOST VIEWS (they stay on Matrix)
The Ratings album is not a dynamic album, right? It's an actual module?
If you'd like login details to see for yourself, let me know. It WAS working before and it stopped working since.

Site admin -> Dynamic Albums. There is a setting for what theme to user 1/2 way down.

Dave, I already had tried that, as well. It's set to my custom theme, yet, it's displaying Matrix!

Then there is some code forcing it.
It works for me with matrix and carbon.
PM me login info.
