I’m starting a new rails project which requires users being able to
select/edit a theme for the site. There appears to be several plugins
and libraries available for this.
From any of you that have experience using/contributing to the
different theme engines, which do you prefer?
It appears that MasterView and Liquid are just templating engines, and
that’s where the Theme Support Plugin comes into play (which allows
you to do multiple themes with either ERB or Liquid). Is this correct?
If there is any other theme support plugins available, I’d be
interested in taking a look.

Theme support is one idea that we have on our todo list for MasterView
but
have not had a chance to investigate it yet. If you do try to combine
Matt’s
Theme support plugin and have any problems let us know and we’ll do what
we
can to resolve it. But since we do use ERB underneath everything there
is a
good chance it will work, especially if you set the
config.generate_rhtml_files = false so that the ERB is generated to the
file
system. This provides the maximum compatibility with other plugins and
saves
a little memory as well.
