Style switcher

Permalink
Hi everyone

Greetings here from Denmark on a sunny saturday morning :0)

I have a wish about making a template where the frontend visitor is able to change colors, by means of styleswitcher.

Do any of you know if this is possible ?

I have an earlier styleswitchr made in php which keeps the style switched through keeping a SESSION alive, but I suspect this would be a problem, if I were to implement this into C5 due to the code in the top of each page:
<?php 
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
$this->inc('elements/header.php'); 
?>


Have any of you tried working with styleswitcher or something else solving this ?

Please respond if any.

check out the theme switcher addon in the mp- make some different color options based on one theme and there you go.

Hi 12345j

I think I saw that one, but that particular switcher is working as a select option. However I would like to have it in use as a text link or small gif image.

So any further advise would be most welcomed :0)

Open theme switchers view.php and set it to display:none; then add a theme switcher block to a page- nothing should show up. Then make a link in the format of http://url of current page/?t=theme-handle where theme handle is the handle of the theme you want to switch to.

Old post I know, but I needed something similar.

I built my own, if anyone is interested here is the code.

Place in your header.php:
<?php
$thestyle = $_GET['set'];
if ($thestyle == "two")
{$thestyle = "two";}
else
if ($thestyle == "three")
{$thestyle = "three";}
else
if ($thestyle == "four")
{$thestyle = "four";}
if ($thestyle == "five")
{$thestyle = "five";}
else
{$thestyle = "one";
}
Viewing 15 lines of 17 lines. View entire code block.


Place in your page:
<p><a  href="?set=one">Default</a></p>
<p><a  href="?set=two">Blue</a></p>
<p><a  href="?set=three">Yellow</a></p>
<p><a  href="?set=four">Green</a></p>
<p><a  href="?set=five">Black</a></p>


Obviously you will need different style sheets and for now only works on current page not the whole website.
