Hi,
I'm redeveloping the search-page by for instance integrating my own wiki, google and ebay. My current forum is at www.domain.com. For my forum users, coming from this domain, everything should be business as usual. BUT, now I would like to add a new domain search.domain.com. I can create the domain, and add a redirect with htacces or with a meta-refresh to get directly to the search-page. But what I would like to achieve is a different template (simple, googlelike UI instead of the forum) when the search-page is accessed this way.
What would be my best options here? I need to check http-headers that clear to me. But what would be the place to intercept the templating process? If I make a new action, I could have a "mirrored" template instead of the current search, but can I replace the basic forum UI that way, or just the search-template? Should I hack into my index.template.php to intercept? Or hack inte Load/LoadTheme, a bit like WIRELESS, but instead naming it SEARCH?
Comments ple-ease!
A very simple solution, add ";theme=x" to the url where "x" is the number for the theme you want to display.
Ooof. That's true. I thought that wouldn't work, because I have disabled the possibility for users to change the theme.
So the approach would be to use htaccess to redirect so that the URL doesnt't change (I don't want do reveal the possibility to change themes), and make a Theme with no menus and no bs, just the search basically.
I'll get on with it and share if anyones interested.
