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 read about 5 pages and didnt find my answer. I have about 15 styles that are on my board (Different style for each board). What i'd like to have it so on the drop down list, it only shows 3 of the ones i choose, instead of ALL my styles. What would i have to change to do this?

Ver. 2 (the one that updates the database) is working flawlessly from the User CP. Updating the style, updating the database every time.

However, from the home page, it only works sporadically. It updates the style every time, but only updates the database intermittently. Sometimes when changing the style from the home page, and then going to User CP, the change has taken effect in the database. Other times when changing the style from the home page and then going to User CP, the change has not taken effect in the database.

smoothie, you wouldn't have a direct link to that mod, would you? Because I've searched at vbtemplates and only see posts directing people back to vbulletin.org for the hack.

I was wondering if it were possible to have it have styles that no one is using? So therefore it will say 0 next the the styles that are not being used.

ok, heres the latest fix. It fixes the problem when no one has the style selected, you cannot change to that style..

Change this line

$allstyles=$DB_site->query("SELECT style.title, user.styleid, count(*) AS count FROM style LEFT JOIN user USING (styleid) WHERE style.userselect=1 GROUP BY user.styleid");

To
$allstyles=$DB_site->query("SELECT style.title, style.styleid, count(*) AS count FROM style LEFT JOIN user USING (styleid) WHERE style.userselect=1 GROUP BY user.styleid");

Hope it helps out..

I've installed the second version that updates the User CP, and everything is displayed as it should be, but when I click on a new style nothing happens. I'm on 2.2.8. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Nevermind, I reinstalled it and it works fine. Evidently I'm just stupid.
