How To simply theme you CodeIgniter project?

[eluser]Blaze Boy[/eluser]
this is a new article of mine of how to theme codeigniter in a good extensible way, you'll love it, and i really want your feedback... be positive.
Quote:Did you ever wanted to make your project theme-able, have you stuck in the maze of theming CodeIgniter?

We’ll explain the best way to theme your project in an extensible way, you’ll step-by-step build a theme helper with a configuration file and a theme files load function like the view files load function (we’ll extend the Loader class for that), your partials will have the way to add CSS and JS requirements to the theme head and the JavaScript link lines will have the 2 options (at head JS, at foot JS (Yahoo specs)).

Requirements:

We need some view files to be replaces with some others in the run time (switching themes)
We need to load theme files just like the view files
Themes folder in separated from the application view files
Configuration file to determine the path to themes folder, the default theme name, DOCTYPE, page character set, index page title, a text before page title and site name, text after page title, Some arrays that will be used when adding the requirements like meta lines, CSS files, JavaScript file, and finally a variable that tell us where to put JavaScript lines.
Some help function that
switch theme
get-set site name
get-set page title
get page head content
get page foot content (only in case of JS at foot)
functions that add required files to the head arrays (CSS, Meta, JS)
Function to craft a URL to theme files (Images, sounds…etc.)
functions to add-return CSS,JS,META, DOCTYPE
Finally a function to load theme files just like the one we’ll add to Loader class, but it’ll be easier to use it in theme files to load other partials instead of making instance of CI then use the loader.
Note: we need that function to return output by default.
