This feature is designed to be used by sites that wants to take control of theme configuring. A common use case would be having a hosted location for all the themes, and the dashboards are all configured with predefined themes. A new variable called PI_STYLES_EXTERNAL_THEME_PATH is created.

• when it’s not set, the theme path is the default theme path

• when it’s set

  • the theme path becomes a network path specified

  • the CSS Styles tab on the config screen is removed (network files are read only)

  • user account page doesn’t have the drop down for a user to select their own theme

• Successful or failed setup for system variables PI_STYLES_EXTERNAL_THEME_PATH (on the admin Settings page)

  • When accessing the external theme has failed, the system falls back to the system default theme

  • When saving the theme is successful, the system reflects the theme setup straight away

• User account page changes

  • When saving a theme of choice is successful, the system reflects the theme setup straight away, and no longer requires refreshing the browser

You can set the themes to come from a remote site. This would make them read-only which means you'd have to edit them on a separate dashboard and then upload them to that remote repository.

This is done via editing the "PI_STYLES_EXTERNAL_THEME_PATH" variable setting (as per our variables documentation) in the Settings screen of Dashboard Configuration:
