Change Style Drop-Down

This is exactly what you see here, on this board's main page.
It allows you to easily change the style you are using.
Please note that it does not update your user profile as well, it simply sets a cookie, and until it expires you will see the style you selected.
Anyhow, download the attached .txt file and do what it says.

Scroll down to a post by me if you'd like the hack to update the user setting in the database!
The attached version does NOT do that!

Have fun and happy holidays!

I didnt make it, but i had it on my forums:

add to the end of the phpinclude template:

PHP Code:

if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'index.php') != false)
{
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT styleid,title FROM style WHERE userselect=1 ORDER BY title");
    if (!$result)
    {
        $styledropdown = 'Couldn\'t get a list of styles';
    }
    else
    {
        $s = mysql_fetch_row($result);
        while ($s != false)
        {
            $styleid = $s[0];
            $title = htmlspecialchars($s[1]);
            $selected = ($styleid == $bbuserinfo[styleid]) ? " selected" : "";

            $styledropdown .= "<option value=\"$styleid\"$selected>$title</option>";
            $s = mysql_fetch_row($result);
        }
        $shash = $session[sessionhash];
        $styledropdown = "
            <select name=\"newstyleid\" onChange=\"window.location='index.php?s=$shash&styleid=' + this.value\">
            $styledropdown
            </select>";
    }
} 


Then add to forumhome template where you wish to show:

PHP Code:

<td align="center">
<smallfont><b>Change Style</b></smallfont><br>$styledropdown<br> 


or you can put in the header to show on every page generated.

SONOFSAM: that will always take them to the forumhome page, not to their current page

Enjoy! :up:

Thanks Kura! Still checking out all the diferences and deciding which is best for my situation.

The first has an extra query and is simpler, shows # of users on each style?

The second has no query, requires more setup and doesnt show # of users. Loads quicker but extra work.

Just wanted to simplify the differences. =)

[KuraFire]

Yup, those are the differences.

First one requires a query for every page load, second one doesn't, though "more setup" - it's 1 step, in which you upload a file to your admin directory and run it, that's about it for `more setup`.....

If you don't constantly add / remove more Styles to/from your site, or if you don't have much space for the drop down box in your header (me for both) then the hardcoded version is your best choice

Premetto that is Italian and use a translator in order to write to
you, I hope that you understand to me.

A question: how never I that I have 2500 user it is I have installed 3
stily I see on one style 603 user on one 7 users alone and last the 31
users?

And like never when change quati style I do not see the variation of
they use it in real time?

Practically the contatore not conteggia, that it is for that one?

I know that in all these post could are to us the solution but they
are many and of English I understand some little

Thanks and Hello jancarlo

I installed the style drop-down... but none of my styles showed up... why is that?

[InfiniteWebby]

how do you change it so that on vb 2.3.0 when a user signs up his styleid is not 0 but soemthing different, so Default Vb Style Doesn't show in the drop down?

[groovesalad]

I had this installed on 2.2.8, but when I install it on 2.3.0, it doesn't seem to change the styles...any ideas?

[Rapdis]

oh my god... lol

is there a final version?
