    Default Re: Template Rotator Mod

    Unless you hire someone to do this, I dont see anyone would be interested in such module to actually code it.
    This is a waste of time and system resources.
    I no longer provide installation support on forum for all my modules. However, if there are real bugs with the modules please feel free to contact me

    I can't see it being much of a problem to set up a cron job to run every night at midnight (or thereabouts) and swap the template as dictated by a calendar file of some sort.

    OTOH, I can't see it being much of a problem to set an alarm and log on for a few seconds to change it either.

    For me this would be such a low priority as to be unlikely to ever happen.

    An even better mod - maybe it already exists - would be a user selectable template mod. Users who need a high contrast screen could choose it, or users with a talking browser could select an extra-simple template that doesn't waffle on through a list of over 1000 authors ...
    We're now settled in at our final home - http://www.swiftbooks.co.uk - where you'll find an eclectic collection of used books. Still a lot of work to do, though!

    GSIS, that mod is great for a forum, but I dont think any ecommerce site ever used it. Maybe in the near future, who knows.

    I agree.. I would love to use a template switcher box!! Not on a live site of course.. but for my own use when I'm working on building templates for people.. no more running 5-6 version of zencart so they can see a preview of their template while I'm working on someone else's template...

    Anybody know how to set this up????????

    I'm afraid my talents are limited to designing and coding up the templates and putting in mods... custom php code is beyond my ability

    Also Wish this mod existed so I could show clients several possible templates.

    And as I work on a template they've picked I can show them several different edits and get their feedback.
    This exists for wordpress, and obviously it is possible for Zen cart too, so why not.

    Any tip that could send me in the right direction to create this would be appreciated.
