Create Style Groups for Style Chooser

If you have a lot of style groups added, it can be hard to organize them in the quick style chooser located in the footer of each page. I wanted to provide a visual break between style groups so I came up with this mini modification. It requires 2 file edits and two new minor templates and a minor query.

Create the following templates:

optiongroup_start:

HTML Code:

<optgroup label="$optiontitle">

optiongroup_end:

HTML Code:

</optgroup>

Next open up includes/functions.php and find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    eval ('$stylesetlist .= "' . fetch_template('option') . '";');
    $stylesetlist .= construct_style_options($style['styleid'], $depthmark . '--', false, $quickchooser);

Change that to:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if ($style['userselect'] == 1)
    {
     eval ('$stylesetlist .= "' . fetch_template('option') . '";');
     $stylesetlist .= construct_style_options($style['styleid'], $depthmark . '--', false, $quickchooser);
    }
    else
    {
     eval ('$stylesetlist .= "' . fetch_template('optiongroup_start') . '";');
     $stylesetlist .= construct_style_options($style['styleid'], $depthmark . '--', false, $quickchooser);
     eval ('$stylesetlist .= "' . fetch_template('optiongroup_end') . '";');
    }

In admincp/template.php find:

PHP Code:


		
			
 print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['allow_user_selection'], 'userselect', $style['userselect']);

and replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
 print_yes_no_other_row($vbphrase['allow_user_selection'], 'userselect', 'Option Group', $style['userselect']);

Finally run this query:

Code:

ALTER TABLE `style` CHANGE `userselect` `userselect` SMALLINT( 5 ) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL

This modification is not phrase friendly but you could easily create a phrase for the words "Option Group" used in admincp/template.php and implement it. You can also modify the templates to apply a CSS class and style the option groups to fit your site.

Feel free to modify this to suit your needs.

A demo can be see at www.vbulletinmods.com. Just select the style chooser there.

Might want to see about caching thoose templates. Seeing as thats making 2 extra queries on your vbulletinmods.com site.

All you need to do is add the cached templates

In global.php find

PHP Code:


		
			
    'STANDARD_REDIRECT'

    //'board_inactive_warning'

));

change to

PHP Code:


		
			
    'STANDARD_REDIRECT',

    'optiongroup_start',

    'optiongroup_end'

    //'board_inactive_warning'

));

hit save and your done, :) that should work

I know what all you had todo. I was just informing wayne here that he might want to add that part into the hack and on vbulletinmods.com.

Rather much editing...

I currently run:

i keep getting the error:

Code:

Parse error: parse error in /home/lurkcorp/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 1864



Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_browser() in /home/lurkcorp/public_html/forum/global.php on line 59

A question or two:)...Do the skins need to be reinstalled after implementing this? And in order to have categories, I would change Option Group to dark, light, etc...? Sorry for not understanding completely

ok I've been playing around with this and am clueless :(...When I go to upload a new skin, I do see yes/no/option group. If i choose it to be in option group, I get that name on the chooser, but cant choose it. I'm at a loss, how to set a category and then put the correct skins under it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Is there any ideas out there...just a direction to point me in :)....I'm ok once i know what i'm doing
Thanks to all

I've noticed that the optiongroup_start and optiongroup_end arent cached on any pages. Just thought i'd let you know. :)

You will need to upload the style AGAIN and make it a Child style for the style you've selected to be the category option.
