does anybody know how to load a non-default theme when visiting a module based on user or module preferences?

For example i use newbb but the theme selection in module preferences doesnt seem to work.

I want the forum to have a different theme than the rest of the site. With an option to choose from 2 different forum themes.

This cant be done with defacer.

I tried

Quote:

xoops_setConfigOption('theme_set', $theme);
$_SESSION['xoopsUserTheme'] = $theme;


in the begining of the index.php file but it doesnt work.

Any ideas???

There is an old module Theme Changer that was supposed to do it.

Download: here

Since it's old, I am not sure that it still works. But at least you can give it a try...

What Kris is showing is that there are two different themes in different location on the same Website, i.e. exactly what you're looking for

Now he needs to share the secret how he did it...

I just use the overring of the theme to override another theme in a module, or part of the theme (for example the columns layout or header, or footer, ...)

ex. for sitemap module - http://xoofoo.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xoofoo/xoops/themes/interface_publique/demo/trunk/modules/sitemap/

some videos here **> http://tv.xoofoo.org/modules/mytube/viewcat.php?op=&cid=34

Just guessing, but isn't this code able to do this?

function curPageURL() {  $pageURL 'http';  if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}  $pageURL .= "://";  if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {   $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];  } else {   $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];  }  return $pageURL; } ?>


if(curPageURL(); == http://www.yoursite.com/modules/news)
{
// link to specific theme stylesheet
}
else
{
//link to normal stylesheet
}
?>


It's early, so it probably has a few mistakes in there, but what it does is declaring a new function which will look for the current page URL. It's then being checked by an if statement if it's true and loads a stylesheet depending on the result.
