Yes to every style or color that you have included

I want to put your mod in place of the drop menu. (same place)

=================

Note:
I skipped the first part of your instructions as I am using the multiple colored styles offered by Sofia's "CA Evo 3.8.3 - 25 colors" styles.

Again, this mod is so simple to implement, even I could do it Trust me, that's saying a lot for your instructions.

Hi Gary

I think But not 100% sure you can remove the style drop menu from the admin cp (general options??) But i'm not 100% sure and not totally sure if it would effect this mod or not, Perhaps you could let us know

Thanks Buddy

BTW, Sofia is a Very Talented Designer, I have a lot of respect for her work, those evo styles are just wicked

Thanks Gerry
I'm a grumpy old kind of guy and usually ask myself why others do what I just did. Asking questions for support of something that isn't related to the actual mod. Sorry about that.

I'm going to dive into the code after I back everything up. I'll post positive results with a link to my site and any helpful code examples.

So I thought.
The first two members on the web site to try it said the colors were not changing for them when they clicked a colored square. They are using IE8. I tried it with IE8 and it works fine for me????

Here is the code I'm using....

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Do you see anything in this code that would prevent anyone from being able to use it? This has got me stumped.

The beauty of this hack is the fact that its quite easy to do the links are in fact clickable pictures and if your using the basic code there can't really be a problem??

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

basically the Url to your style goes in the front and the url to the colored squares goes to the end

Test each url in your brower see if it goes where its meant to

I've just checked a url http://publicwarriors.com/forums/index.php?styleid=28 and it goes to the brown style also with http://publicwarriors.com/forums/index.php?styleid=10 thats brown also ??

You have every style going to the brown style, I think you've not set somthing up right in your style manager???

You have to be logged in. It works now. It requires user style selection be turned on. I had it off to hide the drop menu. As Admin it would work for me but nobody else.
Everything is good now... thanks!

Well done again

[K4GAP]

There's probably no way this would work with 3.6.8 right?

This is Basic Html, It would work with VB 2.2 if people still have it

It bothered me that regardless of what page you were on this would redirect you to index.php when you change the color so I wrote up a simple javascript so when a user selects a different color they stay on the page they were viewing.

Place this above your color images:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
//<![CDATA[
function updatestyle(styleid){
location.href = location.href + "?styleid=" + styleid;
}
//]]>
// -->
</script>

Then the color image/link would change to:

<a href="#" onclick="updatestyle(5);"><img src="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/images/misc/green.png"></a> &nbsp;

onclick="updatestyle(5);" 5 represents the style id, change this to whatever.

Enjoy

Thank you for this. It works perfectly for me. However, I have 2 questions.

1) How do I remove the pull-down style selection list so this is the only way to change styles?

2) How do I make this the only way to select a new style in the UserCP?
