Custom User Styles

Ok this is a big hack people... and I am sure you want to know what it does.. Ok this is very simple to use. It gives the user the ability to make his own custom style/color for the site, which the user can use, edit, let other users usem and delete. It is all very staright forward to use. This will not impact the sites original sytels or such. Now I have input that users can only edit their own styles, as people with think there are security holes, but I have patched then up, so if they they to mess with the system they will get a error message (Tested) This system I larger and
if you find any errors please report them to me at once.

Updated! 1.3

1) In the admin cp user styles / replacements now have their own section as not to confuse admin in the site styles / replacements.

2) In user options they now have the site styles, and then teh drop down for user styles

hmmm...I understand all your guy's problems as well, but it looks like a great idea and I am going to mess with it, but I want to see if I can set it up so that just say people that I setup a custom forum for can customize...we will see.

[jamesdasher]

Can we allow this only for certain user groups? Or is this for everyone?

James

P.S. If not how would I go about adding that.

but I do want to say, that this is a nice hack for the people that need it, Neo

Greetings:

Wow, I definately agree that this could be a VERY powerful hack! I can see it now, users having their own little contests to see who can come up with the best template, with other users casting votes, etc. etc.

I do agree, however, that major limitations need to be placed on this. If you limited this to just colors, fonts, etc.... I would definately be more interested in implimenting it.

I think this is one that would be worth investing the time in to develop further (heh, easy for me to say, considering it's not my time).

just my 2cents.

Heh, after I posted this, I went to open up winamp to play some mp3s, and I realized, hell, I'm using a custom winamp skin that I downloaded! Same goes with windows media player, etc. There certainly are a lot of examples out there of how being able to create third-party skins can help the popularity of a product (and let's not ever forget folks, your website is a product)!

The only edit this has to anothing related the header is Head Insert:.. I am going to take that out. This does not give users access to edit templates. I am going to take firefly's suggestion aswell. So I will make it so that only color/text can be edited and such. I will have this by tomorrow. Thanks you all your input.

neo: may be we can use it with Vbpad to choice for your Vbpad custom style?
I requested 3 weeks ago new features for Vbpad, you can see them...

[Neo]

Umm... well it could be used for what I made it for, or what ever else peope see the need for it... and I forgot what the vbpad thing was

Where is the customstyle.php file that is needed (it is in the form part of the customstyle_add template)? In the instructions it says to make a file called customstylesfunc.php, but no customstyle.php is mentioned anywhere in the instructions !
