[code language=”php”] $groups[‘theme’][‘fields’][‘template’][‘value’] = ‘template_name’;

· 5 min read · By Tahir Yasin

 $groups['theme']['fields']['template']['value'] = 'template_name'; $groups['theme']['fields']['skin']['value'] = 'skin_name'; $groups['theme']['fields']['layout']['value'] = 'layout_name'; $groups['theme']['fields']['default']['value'] = 'template_name'; Mage::getModel('adminhtml/config_data') ->setSection('design') ->setWebsite('your_website') ->setGroups($groups) ->save();

Alternate method:

 $installer->setConfigData('design/theme/template', 'facebook', 'stores', $store->getId()); $installer->setConfigData('design/theme/skin', 'facebook', 'stores', $store->getId()); $installer->setConfigData('design/theme/layout', 'facebook', 'stores', $store->getId()); $installer->setConfigData('design/theme/default', 'facebook', 'stores', $store->getId());
