Did you use a

Code:

global $banners;

statement also? You might need that.

Hi Mindl3ss,

Thanks Linzilla, but that was not what i was wanting, but anywayz it will do the trick too, is there no way of letting the guests choose the theme too? and is there a way of making a simple menu of hrefs and theme names of your own choice?? i mean like for instance i have:
SMblueForums
SMblue
SMgreyThal
SMgrey

and i want to show in the blocks-Themes.php:
<a href="modules.php?name=current_module&theme=SMblue">SMblue</a>&br&
<a href="modules.php?name=current_module&theme=SMgrey">SMgrey</a>

i mean is not there a way of letting user choose the themes which i want and making the others which are for some other purposes invisible in such block or the theme control panel in your_account module ??

Thanks once again linzilla Smile

Hi Mindl3ss,

You can set it to members only or for everyone. It's just a regluar block, Wink

Hope this helps, if you have anymore questions, just let me know.

Take care.

i mean will it let the guests choose the theme.. as the 1st one u told was Members_Only, right.. i mean they will have to register to see other themes.. there should be a way of seeing other themes without getting registered.. Very Happy

and the way in my question has to be in Block Very Happy

Thanks Again

Hi again Mindl3ss,

The block that I have will let guests choose the theme of their choice, Wink

What I was saying before is that it is like any other block, you can change the permissions to the block itself in the Admin CP under blocks. You also choose who can use the block the first time you set it up, Very Happy

Let me know if you have anymore questions and we can get together on ICQ or MSN, your choice.

Take care,

Linzilla

What a surprise.

I have been copied.

The ThemeChooser I scripted is now claimed by somebody else.
Ok, I did not put copyright notice or whatever but, at least they could have mentioned it.

Oh well, I feel honoured that they thought it was good enough to make some small mods to it. They forgot that I left some marks!

At last recognition, good luck Linzilla and phpnukefile.com !!

First of all chris-au, there is no reason to be a jerk about this. You need to get your facts straight before accusing me of stealing your code and stripping out your credits.

Since you obliviously looked at the credits, you would have noticed that the credits also included Sudirman Angriawan of NukeC, here's the download link that I originally downloaded this block from: http://216.67.231.37/~nukecpow/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=12&ttitle=Themes_Block_for_6.0_-_6.5

You will also notice that NukeC gives credit to Harry Mangindaan of NukeStars as the original author.

However, the block did not work correctly for me, so I modified it to work the way I needed it to.

So, before you go and try to publically humilate me, I suggest you read the entire credits and start with Harry Mangindaan of NukeStars, then goto NukeC.

If this is indeed your original work, then I will change the credits to you on the download that I host, you will need to talk to the other sites about them also changing the credits to list you as the original copyright holder. If this is the case, I will instead remove the download from my site since it is not GPL'ed and I don't have permission to host it.

So, is this the recognition that you are looking for?

Sorry, I did not want to start an argument.

I still think you have a good looking site with a lot of things for people to enjoy.

Also I did mean the good luck.
