Can't seem to find this. In "Preferences", you can highlight the themes your users can select. But I can't find a block, or a menu item, for people to use to select a theme.

If I need to create a block to do it, how is that done?

There's a system block named "Themes" that provides this function.

it's right.. and with a little hack in the common.php your members can chose their theme.

Is this a member specific default theme? I would like to be able the site to remember the users theme selection and use it when they return to the site.

I would also like this to apply if the user has been cookied and can be detected. Is this possible?

And with 2.1 it should be able to set the theme if the user has ticked "Remember Me". Will this also be the case?

Cheers,

you should hack the file /include/common.php

at the line 206 (approx)
you have this :
le="color: #000000"><?php if ( isset( $HTTP_POST_VARS['xoops_theme_select'] ) && in_array( $HTTP_POST_VARS['xoops_theme_select'], $xoopsConfig['theme_set_allowed'] ) ) { $xoopsConfig['theme_set'] = $HTTP_POST_VARS['xoops_theme_select']; $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['xoopsUserTheme'] = $HTTP_POST_VARS['xoops_theme_select'];

just after paste this :
le="color: #000000"><?php if(is_object($xoopsUser) == true) { $xoopsDB->queryF("UPDATE ".$xoopsDB->prefix('users')." SET theme='".$xoopsConfig['theme_set']."' WHERE uid=".$xoopsUser->uid()); }

Thanks, I was going to ask what you meant above by hacking common.php.

Minor nitpick: Is there a particular reason for using
le="color: #000000"><?php if(is_object($xoopsUser) == true)
instead of
le="color: #000000"><?php if(is_object($xoopsUser))
?
