Is it possible for users to set their own default theme? it seems like this would be a great feature for XOOPS because so many of my website users have asked about it.

is there a hack or module for it?


Thanks,
Mantooth

Go to systems admin >> blocks and make theme available.
Go to systems admin >> preferences and highlight the themes you want people to select from.
Got to systems admin >> groups and give the correct user audience access to the themes block (e.g. webmaster, registered, anonymous).

Have fun.

thankyou for the response.

but what i meant was that it would be nice if it were a user preference that they could set once like the 'time zone' or 'notification options'

some of my users like the default theme that i've chosen for the site but others would rather have another theme as the default but don't really feel like switching it in the block every time they enter the site.

If they have cookies enabled, once they log in, their preference of theme will be remembered.

I have that same issue. It is almost a standard function to allow the user profile settings to be able to choose which theme the wants for the default. This is not the case with XOOPS.

Be really nice.

Re: can users set their own default theme?

In XOOPS 2.2.2 (fresh install), the ability to set the desired theme in the user profile (/modules/profile/edituser.php) is not enabled.

To enable this, you have to manually add a couple records to the database table xoops_group_permission:

gpermid=whatever
gperm_groupid=2
gperm_itemid=10 ("theme", from xoops_user_profile_field)
gperm_modid=3 (profile edit)
gperm_name = "profile_show" and "profile_edit" (without the quotes)


then, to have the newly selected theme displayed uppon saving changes to the profile, edit the file modules/profile/edituser.php on line 109 of 263 to read:

Quote:
redirect_header('userinfo.php?xoops_theme_select=&uid='.$uid, 1, _PROFILE_MA_PROFUPDATED);
