Theme Selector (basic edition)

[Retread]

Theme Selector (basic edition) Version 0.0.4 Beta

A convenient way for a user to select their theme with a minimum amount of clicking and scrolling. No setup or settings by the plugin installer or member are required. Just install and go.

Places an Icon on the PBN bar. Clicking the icon will take the member directly to a modified version of their Edit Profile Settings page.

From there, the user can select any theme for which they have permission, then with a single click of the button, save the selected theme and view the theme without leaving the Theme Selector page.

After that, they can navigate away from the page using the forum Navigation Menu or Navigation Tree.

Many thanks to Yogi B (yogib) and Chris (horace) for their assistance.
This plugin is editable.

Edit: The plugin has been accepted so the link is now valid. However, you might prefer to navigate via the Admin panel in your forum ...
Admin Home> Plugins> Plugin Library
... that way you will be able to install it directly on your forum rather than downloading then importing.

Second Edit

There are compatibility issues with this plugin and User Theme Display. To correct that, from your Admin panel, navigate:

Admin Home> Plugins> Forum Plugins and click the Build tab.
Click on User Theme Display
Click on the Components tab.

REPLACE the entire contents in text area with this:

//All Your Base Are Belong To User Theme Display//
// This version is compatible with Theme Selector and also eliminates an unnecessary alert //

It's currently pending approval per Retread OP and because of this, you will get that error.

Hello Retread,

Just tried it and the only issue I seem to have with it, is that constant loading:

This is what I keep getting until I either click on Leave or Cancel and only then it now shows the theme I choose.

Here is that image that I have encountered:



FYI: it does not do this with my test site which is a Proboards url but only does this with my main forum which is a forums.net url.

That's a serious issue, aRMY83

I'll member up on your forum so I can see it in-situ.

[aRMY83]

I just enabled your plugin here:

army83.forums.net/

[Retread]

aRMY83, that forum doesn't like me. Please check your PMs on the Support Forum. Thanks.

[aRMY83]

Half the time it does not like me either... *try it again*

[Retread]

Hi aRMY83

I successfully created an account on your forum. When I use the Theme Selector and change the name of the theme in the select, I get an unexpected popup.



That isn't related to the Theme Selector. Apparently there is a conflict with another plugin. If you would be so kind as to do a bit of troubleshooting for me, I might be able to determine what the other plugin is doing and try to deal with it.

Might I ask that you disable all other plugins and try it again. Then if is works as intended, turn on your other plugins one-by-one until we get to the one that creates that popup? Then give me the name of it, if it's from the ProBoards Library.

I can then install that plugin on my test forum and work it out there.

[aRMY83]

Will do on disable of all plugins except Yootil.

It will be awhile as the Mrs and I are watching the election results, but will get back with you throughout the evening.

Hello again Retread ,

When I enable User Theme Display plugin and change to a new theme, I received the same popup image as shown above.

A check of all other plugins did not affect your plugin except this one.

FYI: this is the support thread of that plugin:

support.proboards.com/thread/574009/

p.s. hope this helps and by the way, one nice plugin you created my friend...

[aRMY83]

Forgot to mention that the User Theme Display plugin is disabled for now.

No worries. We got the info we needed and I'll let you know if/when I come up with a solution and an updated version.

It helps a ton. Right now, I'm not certain I can make my plugin play nice with that one. But at least I know where to start looking for a solution.

I very much appreciate you taking the time to determine which plugin's actions I need to research.

[aRMY83]

Not a problem on helping and I'm quite sure you will solve that issue sooner than later. Just to note, I'm going to disable your plugin for now and enable the Theme Changer.

Do take care my friend and back to the elections results...

Hey aRMY83

After chasing my own tail for a good long time, I finally realized best solution would be a modification to User Theme Display plugin. I have a suggested fix and am currently discussing that with P̌̓aͧś̀t̀u͒le͆o͂2̀3̃̓
