Problem with CSS Switcher
Development and Programming
Update - when I close and restart the browser Safari/Mac and IE7/Win both see “Green”; If I select another option (ie “Blue”)+Enter Safari3/Mac changes (to Blue) but neither FF/IE do. Does this suggest an issue with the Form? ————————————————————-<Original Posting>———-
I thought it would just work.
I added pi.css_switcher.php to the correct folder, I changed “var $css = array(” to;
'1' => "http://jules-macbook.local.:9000/index.php?css=rw_simple/blue_css",
'2' => "http://jules-macbook.local.:9000/index.php?css=rw_simple/green_css",
'3' => "http://jules-macbook.local.:9000/index.php?css=rw_simple/grey_css",
'4' => "http://jules-macbook.local.:9000/index.php?css=rw_simple/soft_pink_css",
'5' => "http://jules-macbook.local.:9000/index.php?css=rw_simple/vibrant_pink_css"I updated the Form to;
<?
$css_refer= $_SERVER ['REQUEST_URI'];
$css_refer = explode("?", $css_refer);
?>
<!-- <form action="index.php" method="post"> -->
<form action="<?=$css_refer[0]?>" method="post">
<select name="css_skin" id="css_skin">
<option value="1">Blue</option>
<option value="2">Green</option>
<option value="3">Grey</option>
<option value="4">Soft Pink</option>
<option value="5">Vibrant Pink</option>
</select>
</form>
and set PHP for the template to ON/INPUT.
I added the following to my <head> tags;
{exp:css_switcher}
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' media='all' href='{file}' />
<style type='text/css' media='screen'>@import "{file}";</style>
{/exp:css_switcher}
<!-- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="{stylesheet={my_template_group}/soft_pink_css}" /> -->I set the following;
var $default = '2';Where am I now?
- I have the drop-down list.
- My default style, in fact my only style, is blue_css
- The default (ie green_css) is ignored
- I get no switching
- To say I have no idea what “..
2. files=”” Creates the $css array on load using the stylesheet URLs listed in the parameter. Separate each URL with a pipe (“|”). The first stylesheet will be given an array key of 1, and the rest after will be incremented by a value of one (2, 3, 4, etc.) by their order.”
means understates my lack of understanding over the PHP in general and this plugin in particular.
Obvious point;
This installation is not running on a production server; it’s running on the standard MacOSX Apache/PHP-enable + entropyMySQL with the domain-names provided by HEADDRESS.
Can anyone spot the obvious “Duh!” or do I simply need to try it on a production domain to see it in all it’s glory……;)
