If haven't noticed, we've added a handy little theme swapper inside of a block here. This is handy for testing or for giving your users an easier alternative to changing themes. Get the code for it here

The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.

It seems you forgot to mention that you also need a bit of code that goes into lib-common.php to makt this work:

if (!empty($usetheme) AND is_dir($_CONF['path_themes'] . $usetheme)) {
$_CONF['theme'] = $usetheme;
$_CONF['path_layout'] = $_CONF['path_themes'] . $_CONF['theme'] . '/';
$_CONF['layout_url'] = $_CONF['site_url'] . '/layout/' . $_CONF['theme'];
}
else if ($_CONF['allow_user_themes'] == 1) {

Only that last line (minus the "else") is already there ... Add this and then it will work.

bye, Dirk

Sorry, yes, you are right. A small but important amount of code.

Theme swapper appears to be ignoring my default theme ($_CONF['theme'] = 'clean'. When I set the allow_user_themes = 1 and enable the theme swapper block, users are directed to the DotCom theme instead of the Clean theme? Any ideas on what's going on? Thnx!

In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?

can you specific, where there are put this codec? or how is install, this?

You put this in lib-common.php. It'll be at the top. You notice some of the existing code in the snippet above. If you can read PHP code, it should be really obvious.

1) take the code snippet from http://www.geeklog.net/article.php?story=20020506133826910 and put it into lib-common.php. All that code replaces the single line of code: if ($_CONF['allow_user_themes'] == 1) { (Watch out for the curly braces, don't get them wrong.) 2) Then take the cleaned up code from http://www.geeklog.net/phpblocks/themetester.phps and put it into lib-custom.php 3) Login as admin and make a php block for homeonly. Read there that when you call a phpblock function that you do NOT use the parentheses. ----- John
