[neteater]

If you want extra pages and a few other things you could try installing a portal. They all come with theme changers and shoutboxes.
If you don't want to run a portal coding a theme changer isn't hard if you just want text links or whatever in the footer

[neteater]

no i dont want an portal i am happy with my index page

[Antechinus]

Easiest way to do one is to just use text links across the footer of your themes. Something like:

Code Select Expand

echo ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?theme=4">Theme name goes here</a>

Change the theme names and numbers to suit. Repeat as necessary.

does it shows a drop down menu after adding this code

[Antechinus]

No. Of course not. It shows a text link like I said. This is the simplest way of coding one if you can't get the others to work.

nice idae but still looking for a sophisticated mod

[Antechinus]

Well use one of the existing ones, which means you'll need to figure out how to install it, whcih really shouldn't be any harder than doing a line of links.

Of course the other way you can do it is with submit buttons and hover effects, which can look quite flash because you can style it to match each theme as you change them. That's a little trickier though.

What error are you getting? And what exactly did you edit?

I'm going through old 'unresolved' topics, do you require any further support?
If they are none, please mark this topic as solved to indicate
