Skin Changer

The code below is what I found- can I use it on template edtior- Is it allowed to be used or is it a violation to TOS and if fine I need help on ID.

Code:

<div id='testcheck' style='display:none'>SkinX</div>
<form action="{ibf.vars.dynamiclite}&s={ibf.session_id}&setskin=1" method="post" name='changer'><select name="skinid" class="forminput" onchange="window.location='{ibf.script_url}act=idx&s={ibf.session_id}&setskin=1&skinid=' + this.value"><optgroup label="Skin Selector"><option value="X">SkinX</option><option value="Y">SkinY</option></optgroup></select></form>
<script type='text/javascript'>
<!--
if(document.getElementById('testcheck').innerHTML.match(/SkinX/)){document.changer.skinid.value = 'X'}
//-->
</script>

Legend:

SkinX and SkinY= Change to name X in the end is the default theme

X and Y= Skin ID #.

Edited: All i need to know if we can use the code on our forums, so we can switch to different skins on the forum- I want to put it in the footer- Is the code allowed on our forums at all?

BUMP

Anybody?

i would believe so. if it is not hacking the site in any way it should be fine.

No, all it does is use an id code to change the layout according to the person- i want to put it in overall footer.

I think it would depend if the skin you are using is copyrighted or not.

If its for public use, I can use the code without any TOS problems? The skins I want to use are public- (Example, dark theme skin, for public use, anyone can use it) they are not copyrighted or private.

then it would be ok for you to use it.

Who voted, "In volation..."

random people do that. you can use this code as long as it does not hack the forum.

It doesn't but I need the code at the end of a hitskin link, which is reffered to when changing a skin- Possible to have the hitskin installed on forum, but not active as default- I need it to be saved so code will have ID code and it will use whatever is stored.

Can I get a moderator's opinion that knows about this type of stuff?

let me know if u get this figured out and it works.

It works but it needs a proper skin ID code, which is the last numbers on a hitskin link- But the skin must be already on the panel (Admin Panel.)

what about adding it as a temporary theme?

Here is the Extreme Dar Red theme code- 100041

Now what? The code goes in the overall footer- It appears as a drop down list that you pick a a skin, and automatically changes.

im not sure where to add the skin id into the code? u got the code for one with 2 different skin id's added to it?

Replace what I wrote with what it says.

Code:

<div id='testcheck' style='display:none'>Put name of default skin here.</div>
<form action="{ibf.vars.dynamiclite}&s={ibf.session_id}&setskin=1" method="post" name='changer'><select name="skinid" class="forminput" onchange="window.location='{ibf.script_url}act=idx&s={ibf.session_id}&setskin=1&skinid=' + this.value"><optgroup label="Skin Selector"><option value="Skin Code for Option 1">Name of Option 1</option><option value="Skin Code for Option 2">Name of Option 2</option></optgroup></select></form>
<script type='text/javascript'>
<!--
if(document.getElementById('testcheck').innerHTML.match(/Name of Skin X/Default here/)){document.changer.skinid.value = 'X'}
//-->
</script>

i found where it went and messed with it for alittle, and the code didnt work, im thinking this isnt possible, unless theres a way of having multipul themes that can be switched from saved in the admin panel.

If anyone figures out how to get a skin changer on their forums please let me know how to do it, I could really use one.

I mean that the skin changer allows users to do so_ i'm working on it now. It works for everything except the code doesnt work.

how do u add more skins to it. I want our current skin on it. along with 2 skins that come with a forum. the dark red and black one and the tranquil blue.

When I figure it out, I'll reply- So far you have the default and one option- I will post the added code for it- Also:

Important- there are two codes- the one i showed you all, for the footer and one to confirm and set up the skins- which I'm researching now.

Into the footer I think.

Code:

function setActiveStyleSheet(title) {
  var i, a, main;
  for(i=0; (a = document.getElementsByTagName("link")[i]); i++) {
    if(a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("style") != -1 && a.getAttribute("title")) {
      a.disabled = true;
      if(a.getAttribute("title") == title) a.disabled = false;
    }
  }
}

function getActiveStyleSheet() {
  var i, a;
  for(i=0; (a = document.getElementsByTagName("link")[i]); i++) {
    if(a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("style") != -1 && a.getAttribute("title") && !a.disabled) return a.getAttribute("title");
  }
  return null;
}

function getPreferredStyleSheet() {
  var i, a;
  for(i=0; (a = document.getElementsByTagName("link")[i]); i++) {
    if(a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("style") != -1
      && a.getAttribute("rel").indexOf("alt") == -1
      && a.getAttribute("title")
      ) return a.getAttribute("title");
  }
  return null;
}

function createCookie(name,value,days) {
  if (days) {
    var date = new Date();
    date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
    var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
  }
  else expires = "";
  document·cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}

function readCookie(name) {
  var nameEQ = name + "=";
  var ca = document·cookie.split(';');
  for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
    var c = ca[i];
    while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
    if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
  }
  return null;
}

window.onload = function(e) {
  var cookie = readCookie("style");
  var title = cookie ? cookie : getPreferredStyleSheet();
  setActiveStyleSheet(title);
}

window.onunload = function(e) {
  var title = getActiveStyleSheet();
  createCookie("style", title, 365);
}

var cookie = readCookie("style");
var title = cookie ? cookie : getPreferredStyleSheet();
setActiveStyleSheet(title);
