Serendipity Forums

I know this has come up before, but I've tried all the fixes I read about here, plus a couple other.

The long and short of it is this: I use a custom dropdown box as described by Garvin here, but I have also tested with the default plugin and the experience is the same.

I select a new template, and nothing happens. I've checked my rewrite rules and I've given each of the relevant stylesheets a different name and hard coded them into the index.tpl files. Still I'm unable to switch the templates.

If anyone can help solve this I'll be most grateful.

*EDIT: Fixed. I need to stop asking questions at the end of 12 hours of coding*

Glad you got it fixed. Care to share the solution? Caching problem?

Hi,

well, I discovered the same issue, so I switched back to the templatechooser sidebar plugin and changed info.txt to xinfo.txt in each of my unwanted templates.
This definitely works!

Nah...
It was just me not realizing that removing the sidebar plugin also removed the event plugin.

But while we're on the topic; Anyone know how one would go about to set a cookie to remember a users preferred theme? I don't know if the regular plugin does this, but my homebrew one doesn't seem to remember very well.

the sidebar plugin does remember!

Ian

Yeah... But I don't wanna use the sidebar plugin unless I have to.

If you have access to the Serendipity functions, you can use serendipity_setCookie(name, data) -- that's what the templatechooser plugin does. You can retrieve the cookie from $serendipity['COOKIE']['name'] when you need it back.
