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!

Well.. I installed it and it works, but is definatly buggy.

If no one has a particular style selected it disappears from my drop down box. The only way to get it back is to go into the cp, options, reselect the style, submit, go BACK to the home forum and reselect the style.

Aside from this problem its great, I used the most recently posted dl link to get the info, was there a different link to dl the final hack that resolved this problem?

I doubt all you skillfull people put up with this bug, what am I doing wrong?

Okay, I'm pretty new at PHP but I think I see at least where the soloution is.

In the index.php file if I changed this:

$allstyles=$DB_site->query("SELECT style.title, user.styleid, COUNT(*) AS count FROM user LEFT JOIN style USING (styleid) WHERE style.styleid IS NOT NULL AND style.userselect=1 GROUP BY user.styleid");

To this:

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

Would that correct the problem of the list only showing styles that a user is actually on?

I want to use the drop down out of the first post.

i have the Problem that the pull down menue only show one style.

What am I to do??

I use the 2.2.9 vb.

Can somebody post the whole scrips?? Thanks

The hack has a bug that allows only styles that have at least 1 user on them to show up under the drop down list.

So far the band-aid fix is to create one dummy user specifically for each style.

I hope someone more knowledgable about php will come along and suggest an actual code fix.

I hope this too :smoke:

hmmmm ... i do have one question ...

i want the "Default" choice to say "Destee" instead of "Default"

i can't see where to change this, if someone could direct me please.

i've already renamed the default template set to "Destee" but that made no difference.

Thanks,

Destee
