In this website you can find many mambo templates as well as a Demo site that lets you "wear" each template and see it in action.This could be a very good addition to one looking Mambo templates to go with their SMF intergation...Also some templates from there can be used for development of new SMF skins...
lol... I had a test site up, with 212 mambo templates (every free template I could find)
Nothing else was installed (in terms of mods or components)
but the site caused MAJOR server issues... lol It tried to log in once for every template each time I switched pages.
Wow Kindred! Talking about chewing system resources! I bet your CPU load plus bandwidth would reach unearthly values! That could cause huge problems if you didnt own the server!
Anyway,212 templates is something that makes my saliva flow!
Ever seen this trick?
Go to the index.php file of your Mambo installation, and find this line:
$cur_template = $mainframe->getTemplate();
Replace that line with these lines:
if (@$_GET['pagetemplate'] == ""){
$cur_template = $mainframe->getTemplate();
} else {
$cur_template = $_GET['pagetemplate'];
}
Then, if you add ?pagetemplate=templatename to your URL it will load the templatename template. For instance, if you go to http://aim.aiiresources.com/index.php?pagetemplate=rhuk_solarflare it loads the site with the solarflare template.
Ha! Thats nice! A real hand-untangler when you want to test which tamplate looks best with your forum! Thanks!
I guess thats the trick that people utilize to make a demosite to exhibit different templates at will.
Yeah, I used it when I was choosing what template to start with. I loaded about a dozen, then just browsed through them using that trick.
hmmm.... I also have a template switcher module for mambo. :)
That's another easy way to do it - I just used the other way so that I could quickly use the forward and back buttons to compare sites.

Are you sure you don't want to validate that first? I'm afraid I just see:
if (@$_GET['pagetemplate'] == ""){
$cur_template = $mainframe->getTemplate();
} else {
POTENTIAL SECURITY HOLE!?
}When I see that code.

I just pulled that off of Mambo's forums. I'm not good enough with security issues to know what the potential problem is (aside from someone being able to change the template).
So, I would say, if you're going to use that trick, only do so during development.
