template switch addon

Thank you very much!

I've revised code to alter the look of zencart but have never revised the functional code (except for installing mods) so I better run this by you first to be sure I get it correct.

for the above strings, after they have been revised, is this how they should look?

Can someone PLEASE, answer my question? :cry:

sorry for confusion

1)
you have only to manipulate 1 template file :: includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\common\main_template_vars.php
if the file does not exist, copy the one from template_default
now add a line with

Code:

---

  if (file_exists(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'pages/' . $current_page_base . '/main_template_vars.php')) {
    $body_code = DIR_WS_MODULES . 'pages/' . $current_page_base . '/main_template_vars.php';
  } else {
    $body_code = $template->get_template_dir('tpl_' . preg_replace('/.php/', '',$_GET['main_page']) . '_default.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_' . $_GET['main_page'] . '_default.php';
  }

// template-switch
define('IMAGE_USE_CSS_BUTTONS', 'no');

---

2) use zen-cart admin
tools > install sql patches and run

Code:

---

UPDATE configuration SET configuration_key = 'IMAGE_USE_CSS_BUTTONS_', configuration_title = 'CSS Buttons (functionless)' WHERE configuration_key = 'IMAGE_USE_CSS_BUTTONS' LIMIT 1;

@ideasgirl
look at :: http://demo.zen-cart.at/index.php?ma...id=viennablood

viennablood == the standard german-template; 800px
XAJAX == 1024px & ajax for products
css == zen-cart international = screen wide
hugo13_orange == smarty based template (never finished)

Yes Hugo, but my question goes to "if it fixed" and not fluid. See, your templates (and other I've seen) are with fluid backgrounds (colors and bars) but I haven't seen it with different columns and boxes with different fixed width (which usually you have to change in admin panel).

That works perfectly. Thank you very much for the mod and the extra help!

I think you can do all what you can do with css
look at: http://demo.zen-cart.at/index.php?ma..._switch_id=css

Code:

---

#navColumnTwo {
  width: 111px !IMPORTANT;
}

#templateswitch {
        position:absolute;
        width:400px !IMPORTANT;
        height:15px;
        z-index:1;
        left: 333px;
        top: 77px;
}
#categories{
        position:absolute;
        width:200px !IMPORTANT;
        height:15px;
        z-index:1;
        left: 3px;
        top: 77px;
}

Ok, great! I'll give it a try...

Hi there is any way to make this template switcher to do the job automatic every time it detects an iphone browser, it will be great :smartalec:

I have a dumb question. Do i need to upload each template that I plan on using to switch templates, or how does this work. I mean if I going to let my customers pick from 10 different templates do I upload all these? If not this does not work. I can not change from the default template and it is all screwed up. Thank you in advance.
