Hello !

Here a small snippet for users to switch between different style sheets, from the frontend.

Version: 0.4.1
Last released : 2006-05-15
First released : 2006-03-24

Features (new since last released in bold):
  • Display a dropdown list with css you want
  • Generate dropwdown list or html list from a folder if you want
  • Sort css file for the list
  • Ignore files from a list
  • Write the link to the stylesheet in the header for "screen"
  • Write the link to the stylesheet in the header for "print"
  • Possibility to specify one sheet for "print" or a group of sheets with a prefix (1)
  • Can use a different directory to store sheets for "print"
  • Style sheets for "print" are automatically ignore to generate the list of css
  • User preference is saved with a cookie

bug fix

(1) If a sheet exists with the same name of the sheet selected for the screen, this sheet will used.
     Else, if the sheet defined by &cssprint exists, it will be used.
     Otherwise, the sheet selected for the screen will be used.

Demonstration for dropdown menu : http://www.buromatique.fr/

The file of the latest release is snippet.CssSwitcher.0.4.1.txt

WWW
Guillaume,
   This looks great!  I like how you have the cookie to remember the settings.  One modification that might be nice would be to allow the use of style sheets stored as documents.  Maybe if you could specify a document folder and it would use the css documents below that.  Then you could have dynamic style sheets with the ability for the user to change the look.

Great work though, I will have to try this out.

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but where do I call this snippet?  Within the HEAD section of my template?  In a chunk within the BODY?  I've tried it both places and it didn't seem to work for me.  Thanks!

You can call the snippet in the head and in the body.
In the head, &display must be '0' to create a link to the style sheet :
Code:
<head>....[!CssSwitcher? &display=`0` !]...</head>
In the body, $display must be '1' to display a dropdown list:
Code:
<body>...[!CssSwitcher? &display=`1` !]...</body>
If you have another problem, do not hesitate to ask because this snippet is young.

In version 0.4.0 the configuration of $cssprintpre is wrong. This stops parsefolder from working as it filters out all files.

It is
Code:
$cssprintprefixe = 'print_';
but should be
Code:
$cssprintpre = 'print_';

Thanks for your message. In fact there is a bug but not where you indicate it.
This line
Code:
$cssprintpre = isset($cssprintpre) ? $cssprintpre : '';
should be
Code:
$cssprintpre = isset($cssprintpre) ? $cssprintpre : $cssprintprefixe;
This is fix with the version 0.4.1

You must specify the folder wich contains yours css and the list will be generated automatically.
Else, you can specify them manually with a chunk : you add one option on the select box by css.

after searching a GAzillion pages on the forums and having to read through $ & $ & $ & in a tiny text file line after line, forgive me for it all being blurish and confusing  Wink

perhaps If the snippet didn't have so much stuff cramed into it it would be easier to figure out along with more easy to understand instructions.  I tend to write with the newbie in mind but that's a preference and one should not have to go to programmer school just to understand how a snippet works, write plain english next time IMHO

I rate a snippet how quick and easy it is to understand and setup, if I can't set it up as is in a matter of seconds, its a more complicated snippet, neither good nor bad of course.  As a developer, I would do the same, write it easy 1,2,3

and btw - I tried &parsefolder and that didn't bring up a list,

What is the problem ? Could you develop it because I don't know why you can't obtain the good result. What is the snippet call you use ?

You must configure $csspath into the code of the snippet and call the snippet like this :
Code:
[!CssSwitcher? &parsefolder=`1` !]
