Hello Gordon,

Thank you for your feedback.

I would assume that a site admin sets up a group on behalf of an
institution and thus would either choose the institution theme or a
theme that was previously agreed on and put that into the CSV file / the
group settings. I agree that adding the theme via CSV would be nice, but
may be done at a latest stage if funding wouldn't allow for it at first.
We would need code anyway I suspect to allow for the choosing of a
default theme for a group: When it is set up on institution level, the
institution theme would be chosen per default, if it is set up on the
"No institution" level, the site theme is chosen.

We don't have skins on group pages yet so haven't worried about that.
:-) They would of course facilitate / complicate things further... We
are thinking of consolidating themes and skins because it can be quite
messy on what to choose and where to make changes, but haven't tacked
that work just yet.

Cheers
Kristina

Title:
  group wide theme

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,
  As a feature enhancement it would be useful if there was an option in group admin settings to specify a theme for all pages within the group. This is really important for sites where the default institutional theme doesn't work well with the content of a specific group, but currently the only way to deal with that is to edit every page manually to apply the theme - having to change 20-30 pages (or more) is time consuming - not to mention having to remember to make the change for every new page, so being able to set a default theme at a group level would be a logical improvement.

  In anticipation of the question - yes I think it would be fine to
  override this default manually on a per-page basis later, but being
  able to set all pages to a consistent look from the group admin
  settings would be extremely useful.

  Regards, Gordon.
