Template changer on front end

Is there a good way to put a template changer on the front side of the store to demo the templats I have made?

Re: Template changer on front end

There's an example at (sorry, site offline). I chose to do this as a sidebox, though recently have been considering switching to a pull down menu in the header instead. The key is to override the default template selection in includes/init_includes/init_templates.php. If you PM me an email address, I'll send you some example code.

Re: Template changer on front end

hey thanks

i love zencart!

i have been trading my CMS skills with Joomla and Drupal with a graphic artist. I needed to use Zencart with something so I thought I might make some templates.

Free ones of course.
