Forcing specific styles on specific pages

[Borisch]

Hey,

I'm currently developing my new site and I would like to debug it both as a guest and user/admin. So far I've been using index.php?styleid=2 to set a specific style. However, this doesn't work for guests and so I would like to force a style on the pages I'm debugging.

I've tried doing something like this:

$styleid = 2;
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEMPLATE') . '");');

But it's not actually doing anything, I'm still only getting a white page unless I log in and choose a specific style. Any ideas?

Have a look at global.php

Search for:

// #############################################################################
// ######################## START TEMPLATES & STYLES ###########################
// #############################################################################

There you can manipulate $styleid by using the style_fetch hook

Thanks, but I don't think I quite understand how to use this. I tried the following, but I'm still getting a blank page:

$styleid = 4;
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('style_fetch')) ? eval($hook) : false;
style_fetch($styleid);

One way:

On your custom PHP file.
EX: phpfile.php

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'phpfile');

ACP -> Plugin System -> Add New Plugin

Hook Location: style_fetch
Title: phpfile.php style change
Plugin PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'phpfile'){
	$styleid = 1; // or 2 or 3 etc
}

Plugin is Active: Yes

That worked perfectly!
