SMF Quick Theme Changer

[Hambil]

Link to Mod

Keywords: Theme, quick, changer, select

Description:
Adds a drop down theme selector to the footer of all pages

Version 1.0.0:

• Adds a drop down theme changer to footer.
• Works with default theme and any theme without its own index.template.php file.
• Keeps you on the same page when theme is changed.

Install:

• Download the SMF_Quick_Theme_Changer_1.0.0
• Import from the package manager.

To install on themes with their own index.template.php file you'll need to make the edits to that file manually. Open the QuickThemeChanger.xml file, look for the changes being made to index.template.php, and hand edit the themes index.template.php file to apply the edits.

thanks

[ladynada]

can someone explain how the code keeps the user on the same page after changing the theme?  for me, it only seemed to work on the admin user, but on regular users, it sends you to the forum.

thanks,
nada

EEK! I ended up with four changers and some well-screwed code!

To quatify that, The changer appeared. When I clicked on a theme, the page refreshed but the theme hadn't changed.

I selected, again.

The theme changed, but there were, now, two changers.

If I clicked the top one, the theme changed. If I clicked the bottom one, the theme stayed the same, but three changers appeared.

If I clicked the top one, the theme changed. If I clicked any of the others, the theme stayed as it was and there appeared yet another changer!

Very nice mod!

What part of the code i have to paste into template.index.php file in my other themes? I looked on .xml file but everything there seemed to me logical to be copied, lol!

This mod was working great for me, but I wanted guests to be allowed to change themes.  I really liked the feature where the user was sent back to where he was.  So, I had to sacrifice the option to _SAVE_ the new theme selection in the user's profile.  I will tell my members to go into their profile and make the change permanent.

I had to make all my edits manually because I run Ultiportal on my setup.

one change I made was that instead of:

Code Select Expand


loc = \'index.php?action=theme;sa=pick;saa=quick;u=', $context['user']['id'] ,';th=\' + id + \';sesc=', $context['session_id'], ';url=\' + escape(url);


i used this:

Code Select Expand


loc = \'index.php?theme=\' + id + \';saa=quick\' + \';url=\' + escape(url);



I made no changes to themes.php


in load.php in the sources folder

look for:

Code Select Expand


// The theme was specified by REQUEST.
elseif (!empty($_REQUEST['theme']) && (!empty($modSettings['theme_allow']) || allowedTo('admin_forum')))
{
$ID_THEME = (int) $_REQUEST['theme'];
$_SESSION['ID_THEME'] = $ID_THEME;



and after that put:

Code Select Expand



if (isset($_REQUEST['saa']) && $_REQUEST['saa'] == 'quick')
redirectexit($_REQUEST['url']);


and, for Ultiportal systems, just add his changes for the homepage's index.php in the same place you did for the index.php for the forum.

you can see how they work on my bbs at http://heartdaughter.com/

again, the change is NOT saved in the user profile.

thanks for this great mod,

Great mod. But for users to send back to where they were and to allow guests to select theme...

First please install the original mod.

Then...

Open Themes.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

redirectexit('action=profile;sa=theme');

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

if (isset($_REQUEST['saa']) && $_REQUEST['saa'] == 'quick')
{
redirectexit($_REQUEST['url']);
}
else
{
redirectexit('action=profile;sa=theme');
}

Now we have to edit quick_theme_changer function.

So open index.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

var url = new String(window.location);

loc = \'index.php?action=theme;sa=pick;saa=quick;u=', $context['user']['id'] ,';th=\' + id + \';sesc=', $context['session_id'], ';url=\' + escape(url);
window.location = loc;

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

var url = new String(window.location);';
if (!$context['user']['is_guest'])
{
echo '
loc = \'index.php?action=theme;sa=pick;saa=quick;u=', $context['user']['id'] ,';th=\' + id + \';sesc=', $context['session_id'], ';url=\' + escape(url);
window.location = loc;';
}
else
{
echo '
loc = \'index.php?theme=\' + id;
window.location = loc;';
}
echo '

Now all the users will send back to where they were...

And guests can select theme...

Any ideas as to what might be screwing mine?

Not exactly sure

When I look at ... bugger. Indextemplate, I think it was, the section of code for this mod seems to have replicated.

Most odd.

No, it's not.

As I say, the code keeps replicating, somehow.

Weird.

There were no errors reported, on installation.

Nice mod

I want to manually apply this mod to all my other themes, but sadly, I can`t figure out what and where to edit . Could someone please point out to me what lines of code in the .xlm file I will have to paste into the index.template.php-files? And also give some clues to where in index.template they should be placed. Thanks...

Same here...not sure what to do.

Code Select Expand


<search position="before"><![CDATA[<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center" width="100%">]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
<!-- // Quick Theme Changer Start -->
<tr>
<td colspan="3" style="text-align: left;">
<select name="quick_theme_changer" onchange="quick_theme_changer(this)">
<optgroup label="', $txt['quick_theme_changer'], '">';
foreach ($context['themes'] as $theme)
{
echo '<option value="', $theme['id'], '"', (($settings['theme_id'] == $theme['id']) ? ' selected' : ''), '>', $theme['name'], '</option>';
}
echo '</optgroup>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- // Quick Theme Changer End -->


Is the code that needs to be added ... I found the line where it replaces, but does the <![CDATA[ get replaced?

Nice little mod.
