This addon provides a simple way of changing themes in your osCommerce store. You can switch to a new theme for the season or to spruce up your store, or just to test out a new look. Just upload your new theme package and then select your new theme in your store's Admin.

Instructions are included for using the ThemeRoller tool to download stock themes and design new ones. It includes a method that allows you to design WYSIWYG on your own store pages.

Code in the usual location.

Jim

I just noticed that one of the files was in the wrong directory. Uploaded a new version with the files in the right place.

Hi Jim,

I tried this out today and simply cannot get it to work.

It fails here at step #17:
15. Log into your store's Admin panel, click Modules in the left column, then click Header Tags.
16. Click the Install button in the upper right.
17. Find the Theme Switcher module in the list and click to highlight it

Theme Switcher simply never appears in the list.

Then you didn't add the module file to catalog/includes/modules/header_tags/.

Oh wow! Wonderful. It's working fine now and what a great utility! Thank you so much!

[kymation]

You're welcome. It's always nice to know that people are using this code. Normally I only get replies when something is wrong.

Hi,

Good day!

I am done installing this module and it looks good until you click on 'Edit' button in Admin->Modules->Header Tags->Theme Switcher. Below is the content of 'Theme Switcher' box on the right side

---------------------------------------------------
Theme Switcher
---------------------------------------------------
Edit Remove Module

Switch your store theme from the admin

Enable Store Name in All Titles
- True

Sort Order
- 1

Theme
- redmond

---------------------------------------------------

Clicking on 'Edit' does not show the edit form.

Thanks!

Yes, I noticed that they've upgraded again. It would probably be better to remove the version numbers from the filename, but that's the way it's done by osCommerce as well as ThemeRoller. Maybe I'll change it in a future release.

Good afternoon,
In ThemeRoller I no longer download the version 1.8.6 of custom themes.
Only 1.8.7.
What should I do for the module to work with this version 1.8.7?
Thanks

Hi Jim,
I've installed theme switcher. It shows up in my admin panel. When i highlight it and click edit (I have installed another theme) the edit button goes away. I can't choose another theme.
I installed the theme to catalog> ext> jquery> UI via ftp. The theme shows up in the UI folder but doesn't show up in my admin panel.

I notice that the redmond theme has one folder and one file in it but my theme has one folder and about 10 files in it.

Cheers,

Maxy

The minor point versions are all compatible, so just change the number to 1.8.6 like the instructions say and everything will work.

You probably got a file in the wrong place or failed to completely upload one of the files. Try uploading again and see what happens. If you have renamed your Admin directory, make certain that the includes/functions/modules/header_tags/theme_switcher.php got into the renamed directory.

The extra files in the downloaded theme aren't used by osCommerce. I leave them in there in case some future version uses one or more of them.

Hi Jim,
Do you mean the Theme switcher program or the theme it's self?

Cheers,

Maxy

[kymation]

The theme switcher will work with just the default theme installed if you did everything right. It will try to work even if a downloaded theme is broken. If the Theme Switcher is not working, you made an error in the installation of the Theme Switcher.

Jim,
Good morning,
In fact the theme switcher works.
But the themes with the theme roller made in version 1.87 put a bug in the code.
For example:
If I create new account and click on date of birth.
The calendar does not open.
At the bottom of the browser gets an error. Clicking it opens a window where I states:
Details of the errors of the Web page

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2;. NET CLR 2.0.50727;. NET CLR 3.5.30729;. NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath .3;. NET4.0C)
Stamp Date / Time: Mon, 20 Dec 2010 02:50:05 UTC


Message: ')' expected
Line: 108
Character: 63
Code: 0
URI: http://www.valvicon.com.br/catalog/create_account.php

If I return to the original theme oscommerce this does not happen.
If it was something with the installation of the oscommerce theme switcher in the original theme would not work.
So I think it is an incompatibility between version 1.8.7 and the theme switcher.
Thanks

Jim,
The error on line 138 was the translation I was doing.
But what I meant. The opening of the datepicker remains.
He does not open to the themes made with ThemeRoller.
Only with the original theme done in 1.8.6.
Thanks

[buhlerax]

I found the solution.
I had to copy the jquery-ui-1.8.7.custom.min.js renamed to jquery-ui-1.8.6.custom.js.
Then the datepicker worked.
Thank you all.
