Easy way to change the Style ID?

The reason I want to change the style ID on my styles is that I'm using vb xperience as a rewards system. Once users get however many points they unlock a new style for my forum. To change styles they have to download a .txt file that tells them the styleid
ex.

Code:

Congratulations you have unlocked a new Style!



To Change Styles Simply type in one of the URL?s below into the URL bar in your Browser.



Styles you have unlocked

Default Style:     http://www.domain.com/forums/index.php?styleid=13  

vBulletin original:  http://www.domain.com/forums/index.php?styleid=1

As you can see it would be pretty easy to guess the styles, so I need away to change the styleid so one style would be 5 another 213 etc.

Just tried it on my dev site - I believe you can use an SQL query and change them, then set them hidden in the AdminCP. Just make sure you have a default style set for users that you already created and didn't edit in MySQL. But might want to ask around a little more - not quite sure how this would affect them completely.

SQL is:

Code:

UPDATE style SET styleid='thenewstyleid' WHERE styleid='theoldstyleid';

Tell me if it works alright. This would be a nice modification.

I just did it:

1. run the following sql:

Code:

UPDATE style SET styleid='##NEWSTYLEID##', parentlist = '##NEWSTYLEID##,-1' WHERE styleid='##OLDSTYLEID##';

UPDATE stylevar SET styleid='##NEWSTYLEID##' WHERE styleid='##OLDSTYLEID##';

UPDATE template SET styleid='##NEWSTYLEID##' WHERE styleid='##OLDSTYLEID##';

UPDATE templatehistory SET styleid='##NEWSTYLEID##' WHERE styleid='##OLDSTYLEID##';

2. Go to Maintenance > Update Counters > Rebuild Styles. Run
3. Go to Settings > Options > Style & Language Settings. Click Save (no changes necessarily)

That should do it.
