♥kymation Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) This addon provides a simple way of changing themes in your osCommerce store. You can switch to a new theme for the season or to spruce up your store, or just to test out a new look. Just upload your new theme package and then select your new theme in your store's Admin. Instructions are included for using the ThemeRoller tool to download stock themes and design new ones. It includes a method that allows you to design WYSIWYG on your own store pages. Code in the usual location. Regards Jim Edited December 4, 2010 by kymation RomanNera 1 Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

♥kymation Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 I just noticed that one of the files was in the wrong directory. Uploaded a new version with the files in the right place.

SB3D Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hi Jim, I tried this out today and simply cannot get it to work. It fails here at step #17: 15. Log into your store's Admin panel, click Modules in the left column, then click Header Tags. 16. Click the Install button in the upper right. 17. Find the Theme Switcher module in the list and click to highlight it Theme Switcher simply never appears in the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Then you didn't add the module file to catalog/includes/modules/header_tags/. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥kymation Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 You're welcome. It's always nice to know that people are using this code. Normally I only get replies when something is wrong.

Al Fitrah Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Sorry if this is a dumb question. Theme Switcher is for 2.3 does that mean 2.3.1 ??? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwillis Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) Hi, Good day! I am done installing this module and it looks good until you click on 'Edit' button in Admin->Modules->Header Tags->Theme Switcher. Below is the content of 'Theme Switcher' box on the right side --------------------------------------------------- Theme Switcher --------------------------------------------------- Edit Remove Module Switch your store theme from the admin Enable Store Name in All Titles - True Sort Order - 1 Theme - redmond --------------------------------------------------- Clicking on 'Edit' does not show the edit form. Thanks! Edited December 12, 2010 by iwillis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwillis Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I got it to work. Cool stuff! FYI, jQuery version is now 1.8.7 Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥kymation Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 <snipped> FYI, jQuery version is now 1.8.7 Yes, I noticed that they've upgraded again. It would probably be better to remove the version numbers from the filename, but that's the way it's done by osCommerce as well as ThemeRoller. Maybe I'll change it in a future release.

buhlerax Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Good afternoon, In ThemeRoller I no longer download the version 1.8.6 of custom themes. Only 1.8.7. What should I do for the module to work with this version 1.8.7?

maxy007 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hi Jim, I've installed theme switcher. It shows up in my admin panel. When i highlight it and click edit (I have installed another theme) the edit button goes away. I can't choose another theme. I installed the theme to catalog> ext> jquery> UI via ftp. The theme shows up in the UI folder but doesn't show up in my admin panel. I notice that the redmond theme has one folder and one file in it but my theme has one folder and about 10 files in it. Cheers, Maxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Maxy You probably got a file in the wrong place or failed to completely upload one of the files. Try uploading again and see what happens. If you have renamed your Admin directory, make certain that the includes/functions/modules/header_tags/theme_switcher.php got into the renamed directory. The extra files in the downloaded theme aren't used by osCommerce. I leave them in there in case some future version uses one or more of them.

♥kymation Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 The theme switcher will work with just the default theme installed if you did everything right. It will try to work even if a downloaded theme is broken. If the Theme Switcher is not working, you made an error in the installation of the Theme Switcher.

Regards Jim Jim, Good morning, In fact the theme switcher works. But the themes with the theme roller made in version 1.87 put a bug in the code. For example: If I create new account and click on date of birth. The calendar does not open. At the bottom of the browser gets an error. Clicking it opens a window where I states: Details of the errors of the Web page User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2;. NET CLR 2.0.50727;. NET CLR 3.5.30729;. NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath .3;. NET4.0C) Stamp Date / Time: Mon, 20 Dec 2010 02:50:05 UTC Message: ')' expected Line: 108 Character: 63 Code: 0 URI: http://www.valvicon.com.br/catalog/create_account.php If I return to the original theme oscommerce this does not happen. If it was something with the installation of the oscommerce theme switcher in the original theme would not work. So I think it is an incompatibility between version 1.8.7 and the theme switcher.

buhlerax Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Jim, The error on line 138 was the translation I was doing. But what I meant. The opening of the datepicker remains. He does not open to the themes made with ThemeRoller. Only with the original theme done in 1.8.6. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buhlerax Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) I found the solution. I had to copy the jquery-ui-1.8.7.custom.min.js renamed to jquery-ui-1.8.6.custom.js. Then the datepicker worked. Thank you all. :thumbsup: Edited December 20, 2010 by buhlerax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks for the update. Apparently the latest version does break something. I'll add an update to the instructions.

NadEvo Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hi, Just installed the latest OS but for some reason I don't have the correct directories under the admins folder to drop the php file into.
