Change Style dropdown on ALL of your vB pages :) (dynamic, +1 query)
 
HACK: Change Style dropdown on ALL of your vB pages :) (dynamic, +1 query)
BY: KuraFire [www.kurafire.com]
DESCRIPTION: Allows users/guests to change the style on ANY given vB page of yours
DIFFICULTY: Fairly Easy
INSTALL-TIME: 5-10 minutes
STEPS: 8

Demo: www.kurafire.com/thecouch/
Just browse around and try changing the style on various pages :)

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION:
This hack will put a small drop-down box in your Header template, containing all the styles of your vBulletin forum. This particular version of the hack will do one query to gather all your styles (and the amount of users using each style). There is also a version I released which relies on hardcoding the styles into your global.php so that you don't have one additional query on every pageload, which is the case with this hack.

PROS FOR THIS VERSION:
- the amount of users using each style;
- if you add more styles, it's automatically updated
CONS FOR THIS VERSION:
- one query extra for every page load of your vB
- drop down box is fairly wide (due to count-users addition)


Install instructions are in the attachment. Enjoy / good luck :)

I guess I dont understand the difference of this drop down compared to others.

Is it that the drop down box is formatted into the header, and thus automatically on all pages including vbhome(lite)?

I also noticed on your page the user count for each style has been deactivated, is this an easy change and what can we do to also deactivate our user count and thus save a query on each page?

Just curious, trying to learn as much about vbulletin as possible and I want to be able to admire all the subtle differences. :p

KuraFire, thanks for this hack.

So far it's alright, everything is working on all vb pages: users and guests can change the style automatically on all pages but the option "User CP/ Edit Options/ Style Set" is not working anymore. It may be a big issue to register as a member: the selected style is not set after the login. The new member have to reset his style in the dropdownbox.

Once again, if a user hasnt selected a style, it wont show up in the dropdown - that would be nice to be fixed. :\

*bump*

The only fix I've seen for this is to create 1 dummy user for each style.

After the forum has enough users you can go back and delete the extras, but in the meantime thats the quick and easy fix.

Wish I knew enough php to actually solve the problem, but there ya are. :paranoid:

So I love this hack, even with the bug in UserCP and User Styles. having to have one member or they do not show (there even may be a fix)

I wanted it to function on my vhHome...
Here is what I did:

in vhHomes global.php (BACK IT UP!!!!!!)

Find :
PHP Code:
// +--------------------------------------------------------------
// | Include sessions
// +--------------------------------------------------------------
include_once( './' . $adminpath . '/sessions.php' ); 
Above Place:
PHP Code:
//Style Addition
  if (isset($changestyle)) {
     $styleid = intval($changestyle);
  }
//Style Addition 
Below Place:

PHP Code:
//Style Addition
  if (isset($changestyle)) {
    if ($styleid!=0 && is_numeric($styleid))
      $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET styleid=$styleid WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
  }
//Style Addition 

Find:
PHP Code:
$templatesused.= 'phpinclude,home_headinclude,home_header,home_footer,home_usernameloggedin,home_usernameloggedout,home_error'; 
Replace with:
PHP Code:
//Style Addition
$templatesused.='header_stylebox,header_styleboxbit,phpinclude,home_headinclude,home_header,home_footer,home_usernameloggedin,home_usernameloggedout,home_error';
//Style Addition 
Find:
PHP Code:
$homeheadinclude = '';
$homeheader = '';
$homefooter = '';
$search = '';
$links = ''; 
Above Place:
PHP Code:
//Style Addition
$boxurl = $PHP_SELF . "?" . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$boxurl = str_replace("s=$session[sessionhash]", "", $boxurl);
$boxurl = preg_replace("/(&changestyle=(.{0,2}))/", "", $boxurl);
$boxurl = str_replace("?&", "?", $boxurl);
if(substr($boxurl, -1)!="&"){
    $boxurl .= "&";
}
$dropdownbits = "";

$allstyles = $DB_site->query("SELECT style.title, user.styleid, COUNT(*) AS count FROM user LEFT JOIN style USING (styleid) WHERE style.styleid IS NOT NULL AND style.userselect=1 GROUP BY user.styleid");
// this query was thanks to FireFly's hack :)  (credit where credit is due)

while ($thisstyle = $DB_site->fetch_array($allstyles)){
    $stylesel = ($styleid==$thisstyle[styleid]) ? "selected=\"selected\"" : "";
    eval("\$dropdownbits .= \"".gettemplate('header_styleboxbit')."\";");
}
eval("\$dropdownbox = \"".gettemplate('header_stylebox')."\";");
//Style Addition 
Upload and enjoy!

Place :
$dropdownbox
anywhere in your Home_* templates

gengar003 03-23-2003 01:24 PM
hmm.. I installed it, but the dropdownbox is blank, with no styles on it at all....
