Forgive me if it is an obvious question .. How to get the theme switcher inside a block in the main page ? Thanks and Regards...

You mean putting it inside a story? That is not possible, I'm afraid, since the theme swapper requires some PHP code. bye, Dirk

I assume you already have the code? If not, read this story.

Add the function phpblock_themetester() to your lib-custom.php, add the other piece of code in lib-common.php as described, and then just create a new block (of type "PHP block") and tell it to use phpblock_themetester. That's it.

bye, Dirk

Where do I get the theme tester plugin/code? Your link doesn't work (anymore), Dirk.

I don't really understand where this bit of code goes. The readme file says:

2. You also need a bit of code that goes into lib-common.php to make 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.


In the lib-common.php the corresponding bit is:

if( !empty( $HTTP_POST_VARS['usetheme'] ) && is_dir( $_CONF['path_themes']
. $HTTP_POST_VARS['usetheme'] ))
{
$_CONF['theme'] = $HTTP_POST_VARS['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 )


So what am I supposed to do exactly? Sorry, it's late and I can't really think at the moment ...
