hi there

i wrote a css switcher for my new themes but it wont work.maybe i missed something?
here it is

in the head of my theme i got
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="<{php}> echo (!$sitestyle)?'http://mysite.com/themes/mytheme/style':$sitestyle <{/php}>.css" />


in the body
<a href="http://mysite.com/themes/mytheme/switcher.php?set=style2">Style2</a>


switcher.php contains
<?php setcookie ('sitestyle', $set, time()+31536000, '/', 'mysite.com', '0');
  header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");
  ?>


the both css style.css and style2.css are located in my theme folder.

when i click the link the site is refreshing but the style isnt changing.
i hope you can help me.ive tried to replace "set=style2" with "set=http://mysite.com/themes/mytheme/style2" but no changes.

thanks in advance

Hallo Simeon

yes there was a long discussion about such a switcher on ALA some years ago ..., but most of them were not really happy using the beginning code.

perhaps have a look at page 3 of that diskussion, i now use this:

<?php
session_start();
?>
<?php
if(isset($_GET['css'])){
switch ($_GET['css']) {
case 'css1':
$stylesheet = '<link href="theme1.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">';
$_SESSION['csschanger']=$stylesheet;
break;
case 'css2':
$stylesheet = '<link href="theme2.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">';
$_SESSION['csschanger']=$stylesheet;
break;
case 'css3':
$stylesheet = '<link href="theme3.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">';
$_SESSION['csschanger']=$stylesheet;
break;
case 'css4':
$stylesheet = '<link href="theme4.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">';
$_SESSION['csschanger']=$stylesheet;
break;
default:
$stylesheet = '<link href="cssdefault.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">';
$_SESSION['csschanger']=$stylesheet;
}
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitiona…">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>CSS Changer</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<?php echo ($_SESSION['csschanger'])? $_SESSION['csschanger']: '<link href="cssdefault.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">' ;?>
</head>

<body>
<A href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?css=css1">Stylesheet 1</a><br />
<A href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?css=css2">Stylesheet 2</a><br />
<A href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?css=css3">Stylesheet 3</a><br />
<A href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?css=css4">Stylesheet 4</a><br />
</body>
</html>


to switch my styles and it works perfect, though i can't say if there are any security things ...

perhaps have a look at it ...

Hey Simeon!

We are just working on a project named "XOOPS Theme Forge" (which amongst hosting design specific projects, will host a vast collection of articles regarding theme, and web design), and it would be great if you could prepare an article, so that others may gain from your experience....

Would you feel up to it? Then please contact me or StudioC via PM

Regards

JasonMR
