Skin Displayed Based on REFERER

I run a support forum for a company that is now 2 companies merged. In order to provide customer peace of mind and offer a sense of stability and familiarity, we wanted implement a familiar skin for each set of customers. As of version 1 if you visit through remote sites and are redirected then you will not be able to change the style. However if you log straight in you can. This is a bug I need to fix as I want all users to be able to select other skins should they want.

DEMO LINKS:
Default site: http://www.hostingtechs.com
http://forum.hostareus.com
http://forums.barefooting.com

I am not offering support for this, but I am entertaining suggestions, comments and feedback.

This can be used with no credit (I don't believe in tooting my horn), but if you enhance it I'd like to know so that I can consider using an enhanced vesion for myself.

Cheers, people. Now play nice.

well unfortunately we got some DNS wires crossed right now that we're trying to sort. I'll address that when we get back online with our forum....

hmmm, yeah, you've got a point. Unless I wanted to do a redirect of all pages or unless mod_rewrite was installed at every redirect location. That's way too many if's.

I guess the next release is going to putt all the detection in global.php like I had originally intended. I was just going to do a:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ( stristr ( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 'forums.barefooting.com' ) ) {



    $bbuserinfo['styleid'] = 3;



}



if ( stristr ( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 'forum.hostareus.com' ) ) {



    $bbuserinfo['styleid'] = 1;



}

but that didn't seem to work effectivley. (It would not detect the style on the first load, but refresh and it would....)

So anyways, thanks for the tip...

Completely altered code. Now there is only one bit of code to paste into ./global.php

Much easier. Much more reliable.

Cheers.

Is it ok on 2.3.2? Could another feature be added:
Predefined forums (id 13, 45, 2, for example) be shown coming from a referrer page or a hyperlink?!
