Changing Theme Hack

When a visitor changes the theme, I want the visitor sees news from a certain category at the same time.
I guess the solution for my questions is simple. Probably I have to edit the template which manage the box with themes? But what exactly do I have to do?

I mean when the vistor choose theme a, I want him to see news from category a. When het choose theme b, I want him to see news from category b.

That would have to be done through scripts that you have put into the theme.html file of each theme. Redirect, I believe. If it will work.

An easier way to go is too edit the "block themes" block template

system_block_themes.html (in the system set of templates)

from this:


<div style="text-align: center;">
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<{$block.theme_select}>
</form>
</div>

to this

<div style="text-align: center;">
<form action="http://www.yoursite.com/modules/news/index.php?storytopic=1" method="post">
<{$block.theme_select}>
</form>
</div>

Note: storytopic=1 is the first news category etc

Re: Changing Theme Hack

OR
In your news module code put this in somewhere, where it makes sense (i.e. after you have found topic id):
le="color: #000000"><?php switch($xoopsOption['storytopic']) { case '1': //if it is topic with id 1 $xoopsConfig['theme_set'] = "New Theme Name"; break; case '2': //if it is topic with id 2 $xoopsConfig['theme_set'] = "Another theme name"; break; }


I guess it is possible to hack into the topic manager to set a theme for each topic, but I'll leave you to try out this first.

Thanks Cblue

You made my day, I won't get my head out the door now.:)

It does work for me, I always try my suggestions out on my own test site first.
