Be sure to apply this mod to every template set you have! Otherwise the dropdown will disappear when you change style sets.

This is Chen's style dropdown without hacking. Unlike the style set dropdown mod released here, it doesn't require updating the code each time a style set is added/deleted. The tradeoff is that it adds one query to forumhome.

Unlike Chen's hack, this will not show how many people are using each style set (would mean more queries). But, just like his, this does not update your user CP style set, it only cookies you with a new style set.

I've been looking for this for about 2months i had to create in manually :D

I did it in an hour :p

theres already a hack like this, but u did it very very differentlly :)

I know there's a hack but the point is that this doesn't require hacking.

Unless you're talking about the existing template mod here which I already said how this one is far superi--I mean, different--than that one ;)

The one released before this one here needed manual updating of the dropdown. The hack is like this one but requires file hacking. This mod does the same thing but only via template modifying.

Hope that helps. Nice mod. :)

Nice job m8

Just saved 1 query on forumhome by using this instead of Chens style dropdown hack

Well the extra query Chen probably used would be for the user table to find out how many people were using the style set...:)
