template switch addon

[kobra]

In which path is this templates.txt file uploaded to?

Just as the read me states

1) edit images/templates.txt; put in your templates for switching

edit SHOP_ROOT/images/templates.txt file
or goto admin > tools > templateSwitcher & the file will be generated ( if you have write permissions fot the images-folder )

Anyone else having problem with this? As one of the users wrote in the beginning of this thread i also get the classic view, and i cannot switch to other templates in my admin

I have 1.3.8a off course, and i have enabled the templateswitch sidebox to "Yes" for all of my templates.

The templates.txt file is put into www/images/

but still no work.

Anyone please??

I deleted the "init_templates.php" from included/init_includes/overrides and now my template is ok and i can switch between the templates in my admin.

But off course the file init_tempaltes.php should not be deleted..is it maybe supposed to be in the " included/init_includes" folder?

Anyone please?

I have a temporary solution that worked for me. Find your file includes\init_includes\overrides\init_templates.php. On that file find the following code on line 41:

 $template_dir = 'classic'; 
   if(isset($_GET['template_switch_id'])){
    zen_setcookie("zctemplate", $_GET['template_switch_id'], time()+(60*60*24*365));
    $template_dir = $_GET['template_switch_id'];
  } else {
      if(isset($_COOKIE["zctemplate"])){
        $template_dir = $_COOKIE["zctemplate"];
        zen_setcookie("zctemplate", $_COOKIE["zctemplate"], time()+(60*60*24*365)); 
      }
  } 

and change it to:

 $template_dir = 'classic'; 
   if(isset($_GET['template_switch_id'])){
    zen_setcookie("zctemplate", $_GET['template_switch_id'], time()+(60*60*24*365));
    $template_dir = $_GET['template_switch_id'];
  } 

the only problem with this solution is that the chosen template will not be stored in a cookie for future visits.

I have this addon installed in one of my websites and works fine. I installed the same files on a different website and ran into the same problem you did.

If I find a better solution I'll post it here.

Would this work with different size of header, columns, and boxes if they are fixed?

I installed this mod and now find that the buttons are a little issue. If I set a template to use css buttons then when switching between templates the other templates will also have to use the css buttons. For some templates I would like to have css buttons turned off.

If I have css buttons turned on in admin settings, is there a file I can override on a per template basis to hardcode turning off css buttons?

one way could be to change the database-entry IMAGE_USE_CSS_BUTTONS

UPDATE configuration SET configuration_key = 'IMAGE_USE_CSS_BUTTONS_' WHERE configuration_key = 'IMAGE_USE_CSS_BUTTONS' LIMIT 1;

this files make use from the constant IMAGE_USE_CSS_BUTTONS

includes\functions\html_output.php (267:20)
includes\functions\html_output.php (293:20)
includes\templates\template_default\sideboxes\tpl_search.php (17:18)
includes\templates\template_default\sideboxes\tpl_search_header.php (16:18)

you have now to create or modify the file includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\common\main_template_vars.php

add a line with

define('IMAGE_USE_CSS_BUTTONS', 'no')

you can see it
