This doesn't work on my 3.5.1 either.

I didn't test it but I see no reason why it should not work.

Hm.. I'll remove it from my forum, redownload the zip file and upload that XML file and then re-import it. I'll get back to you.

Edited to Add: This was definitely a mistake on my part. I feel a little embarassed now. :disappointed:

The problem was that I originally had the style set to non-selectable and then added this product and edited the settings to choose which groups could access it, but I never made the style selectable globally. Maybe you could add something about that to the instructions? Just to say that you need to have the style globally available for this product to function correctly.

this is what i have been waiting for...

thanks a lot ... exactly what i was looking for!!

will this work with child styles?
also, will this work with purely assigning a specific usergroup to a specific style template?

As i have been working on my multi-site hack, i want each site to look different, so they are all running as children under one style.
Also, we have set each site to be given a different "unregistered/guest usergroup", as well as register, awaiting, and moderators (each site has it's own set).

Therefore, when someone visits the 2nd site, and placed into the 2nd lot of usergroups (starting as 'guest'), i want them to be using a specific child sytleid.

So far, it's not working - the member is still using the parent, even though i've ticked that set of usergroups to only view that child styleid.

Use my add-on [Force Style to Certain Usergroup(s) and/or User(s)], it was created just for this situation, see the 1st post for the link
