Hi,

I don´t know if it is possible, but I would like to do the following.

Set the theme or language as a variable in the URL:

So something like index.php?settheme=newtheme or index.php?theme=newtheme

The reason / idea behind is that depending from where you come you get a different theme, but I can´t seem to get it to work.

I searched the site and the closest I got was setting up different sites using the same database and backend, but before I follow that path I wanted to play around with setting theme and languages in the url but it doesn´t seem to work.

Anyone a quick answer if it should work at all ?

Thanks,
Boris

I'm afraid that doesn't work with Geeklog. But, I'm no PHP programmer so I'm curious if somebody else has a proper solution.

There is a Chameleon hack which changes the theme depending the story topic.

Hi Beewee and Others,

Chameleon seems to work very fine in the latest GL release and does the trick, however not truely familiar with GL or the rewrite function of php I have a little question you guys/girls might know the answer too immediately.

If the parameter url_rewrite is set to true, the plugin does not pick up the associated theme when clicking on a story from outside the the topic tree.

If placed to false, it works like a charm.

This is caused by following code block, but not sure what the easiest way would be to fix it:

Text Formatted Code
// check if story id is set - $story (from article.php) or $sid (from comments.php)
if (isset($story) || isset($sid)) {

    // pull the story's topic id from the database
    if (isset($story))
        $h_result = DB_query("SELECT tid FROM {$_TABLES['stories']} WHERE sid = '$story'");
    else
        $h_result = DB_query("SELECT tid FROM {$_TABLES['stories']} WHERE sid = '$sid'");

    // set the $topic variable only if a valid story/topic is found
    $h_numrows = DB_numRows($h_result);
    if ($h_numrows > 0) {
        $h_theme = DB_fetchArray($h_result);
        $topic   = $h_theme['tid'];
    }
}

 


Anyone a quick suggestion / fix / idea on how to retriece the topic variable when friendly urls are on ?

Best Regards,
Boris

Since I'm also using the blockmenu plugin (I can recommend it), which doesn't work with URL_rewrite=on, I don't care about the URL_rewrite. Will try the Chameleon hack for my next project (current one is nearly finished)
