How Can I Change the Style via Navbar and Retain Page Settings?

[Dr. Bantham]

I have integrated a style selection column within Navbar, but my current version resets the page to home:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="cmps_index.php$session[sessionurl]?styleid=21">Teatro Grottesco</a></td></tr

I discovered that if I include $vbpage in lieu of a file address that the current page location will be pulled. However, it does not retain the variables.

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vbpage$session[sessionurl]?styleid=21">Teatro Grottesco</a></td></tr

In other words, it does not return you to the correct content view if you are viewing a forum, thread, post, etc. What are the variables necessary to allow this to function like the style selector box relative to retaining the current content view?

Try:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="cmps_index.php?styleid=21&amp;$session[sessionurl_q]">Teatro Grottesco</a></td></tr>

Thank you for the tip, but this did not work. The only impact it seemed to have was appending an "&" symbol at the end of the URL string. I tried the $vbpage variant as well, which again seemed to pull the correct file being used, but not the subsequent reference information.

Oh sorry I misunderstood the question. Try something like:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vbpage$session[sessionurl]&amp;styleid=21&amp;{$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']}">Teatro Grottesco</a></td></tr>

{$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']} should give you the extra reference variable things that you want. I'm not sure whether there maybe security implications or not for this.

Almost there, if you can manage another look. It pulls most of the info, though it has now dropped the file reference.

For instance, if I am viewing the following page:
showthread.php?p=11831#post11831

It now becomes:
&styleid=21&p=11831

The traditional style changer would result in the following:
showthread.php?p=11831&styleid=21#post11831

I do appreciate the attentiveness. If you cannot spare another look, perhaps someone else may offer another hint.

Can anyone provide suggestions for this? It appears that I am close, though nonetheless stuck.
