Unable to set path and active theme

[Mirza Pasic]

Hi,

theme package works fine with options from the config file, where I have left default option for paths: paths.absolute => public_path('themes'). And it works great, I have created default template in the public/themes directory, added template files etc...

Now, for some part of my application, I need to use different theme directory. Let's say I have "system themes" and "user themes". I noticed you have two methods setPath($path) and setActive($theme). Both are chainable and I should use it like this (in my controller):

    private $theme;

    public function __construct(\Caffeinated\Themes\Themes $theme)
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->theme = $theme;
    }

    public function getRegister()
    {
        return $this->theme->setPath(public_path('clients'))->setActive('defaults')->view('users.account.register');
    }

I've tried adding this part $this->theme->setPath(public_path('clients'))->setActive('defaults') to the constructor, but I get the same error View [] not found.

The weird thing is if I dd getPath():

    public function getRegister()
    {
        dd($this->theme->getPath());
        return $this->theme->setPath(public_path('clients'))->setActive('defaults')->view('users.account.register');
    }

I get the correct path "/home/vagrant/www/project/public/clients".

But, when I try this:

    public function getPath()
    {
        dd($this->path);
        return $this->path ?: $this->config->get('themes.paths.absolute');
    }

I get null. I'm struggling with this for couple days, and I would appreciate any help you can provide. Probably I don't see something so obvious :)

Hmm, this may be a legit bug - sounds like the main Themes class isn't being initialized as a singleton like it's supposed to. I'll look into things and get back to you~
