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!

this is such a great hack, I wish all hack installs were easy like installing this one, keep up the good work

What about the Style Set option in the User CP? It doesn't change that if you change it via this pull-down.

[SirSteve]

Also, it looks like a few of my members have set their options to load a certain style but when I turn that particular style off (not user selectable), it still shows up in the pull-down hack.

well I have noticed that the styel selector over rides what the user has chosen for that login session only, nowif they do a complete logout, and then logout back in, they have the style that was chosen from the control panel, and as far as selection to load a style when its disabled I havent sen that one yet, but I will ask around

What could be my problem here, I did everything as said..
http://www.graphic-forums.com/index.php?styleid=5

Im running vb 2.2.1

Here what i did in the index, about 15 lines down (surrounding code to give you a idea)

userid,username FROM user WHERE userid=$numbersmembers[max]");
$newusername=$getnewestusers['username'];
$newuserid=$getnewestusers['userid'];

// style drop 

down box (by FireFly)
$allstyles=$DB_site->query("SELECT style.title, user.styleid, COUNT(*) AS count FROM user LEFT JOIN style USING (styleid) WHERE style.styleid IS NOT NULL 

GROUP BY user.styleid");
$dropdownbits='';
while ($thisstyle=$DB_site->fetch_array($allstyles)) {
  if ($styleid==$thisstyle[styleid]) {
    $stylesel='selected';
  } else {
    $stylesel='';
  }
  eval("\$dropdownbits .= \"".gettemplate('forumhome_dropdownbit')."\";");
}
// style drop down box (by FireFly)
// if user is know, then welcome
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
  $username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
  eval("\$welcometext =

by looking at your page source code you are missing the <option> tags
check template name, maybe you have made a typo

[Graphic-Forums]

The option tags are included in the dropdown bits.

[SirSteve]

This doesn't work on Netscape... I believe because there are no <FORM> </FORM> tags...

This is a real sweet hack but it would be much better if it updated the information in the user profile. Is there any way to have it do that? Any way at all? That's the only thing stopping me from installing it.
