it might be possible, but this would have to be done by setting a cookie, which may mean some people cant use it say, if they haven't got cookies enabled (most people have), that is the only way i can think of. but then if they are using a different computer and log in then they would have to change style on every computer, where as the hack allows users to log in and go straight to the style.

if ne 1 could help me with a fuction i want to add, or is this built into vb? is admin can select which style they want as there default.

I would like my site to say have christmas, easter, summer, winter, auterm, spring etc.. styles, and for me to say select the defult i want, say at xmas i want the xmas style as my default. Ok every one how has allready choosen a style won't be able to see it, but its a goood idea i think. also you could have this set up automaticly so on set dates the headers and footers change to the time of year, which means when it is all set up you want have to worry about it?

it will probably go something like
if ($styleid=="1") {
if ($date=="$xmasdates") {
if (!$header) {
eval("\$header = \"".gettemplate('headerxmas')."\";");
} else {
eval("\$header .= \"".gettemplate('headerxmas')."\";");
}
if (!$footer) {
eval("\$footer = \"".gettemplate('footerxmas')."\";");
} else {
eval("\$footer .= \"".gettemplate('footerxmas')."\";");
}
}
if ($date=="$summerdates") {
etc.

if any one know how this would be done then pls help
