One or more files are missing or incorrectly named. Use View Source in Firefox and click on each of the links in the head in turn. The one that returns a 404 error message is the one that is incorrect.

I've added a new release to the Addons area. This fixes the bug/conflict with the Modular Front Page Addon, and probably others that require the jQuery files to be loaded first. If you are upgrading, uninstall Theme Switcher before replacing your module file with the one in this release.

The package is over the size limit again, so I've also uploaded it to my server until the official release is approved.

I've given up on the previous upload. I stripped out all of the Addons, including the full Theme package, to make it fit without approval. If you want the full version with all of the extras, download from the link in my previous post.

Hi guys. I seem to be getting a error and dont know what to do. Can someone help me?

This is the error

The error message says that /includes/languages/english/modules/header_tags/ht_theme_switcher.php is missing. Is it?

I downloaded the plugin and it came up as: theme_switcher_1.3.1_min.tar.gz What directory on my webserver do I upload this into?

[kymation]

You unpack that archive using your archive program (WinZip, 7zip, Winrar, etc.) and then follow the instructions in the User's Manual in that package.

If we are upgrading from a previous version, do we need the extras? Or is the one you posted here enough to upgrade?

[kymation]

The one posted here is enough for anyone to install and use. The Extras are just that. If you really want the whole thing, the link I posted above still works.

I've uploaded a new version to the usual place. This one sorts the themes in alphabetical order. It makes it easier to find a theme if you have a lot of them. I also added some text to the manual about the ThemeRoller version numbers, and some more debugging information.

If you need to upgrade an older version of Theme Switcher, or just want to, upload the three new files over the top of your old ones. There's no need to uninstall the module first.

I think my confusion starts here...  Initially, I wanted to install Theme Switcher, and have done that(tho' I'm not seeing it as something functional in the admin); and have subsequently upgraded jquery (as this is a fresh install of osc{2.3.1} from my server's Fantastico).

jQuery upgrade to 1.7.2 and UI to 1.8.20 - not sure if this is compatible or not.

I found that those 2 important files of jQuery were still needed by the admin of osc (Else they "cut off" some of the admin menu) and so had to leave both copies of those files - jquery-1.4.2.min.js & jquery-1.4.2.min.js -  there... And now I still don't have the new jQuery working (*excuse the mentioning of this problem here tho' it is related).

Bun NOW this thread starts to talk about Theme Roller! I realize this is a function in jQuery but am confused as to why we are suddenly talking about that. Is it that this Theme Roller is now the module that we will use to switch the themes?? What of Theme Switcher?? Is this still required? Do they work in unison to get the job done?

Thank you for any clarification on this.

Theme switcher allows you to switch themes by changing a setting in your osC admin. Themeroller allows you to get themes to use in your store. It's useless to be able to switch themes if you only have one installed, so Themeroller is essential to the use of Theme Switcher.

For your problem of not seeing the Theme Switcher module to install -- check that you have all of the files in the correct locations, and check that the files are approximately the same size as the ones in the distribution package.

jQuery 1.7.2 and jQuery UI 1.8.20 are compatible. I use those versions myself. You will need compatible (current version) themes to make them work properly. The Redmond theme that ships with osC will not work properly.

The Admin also depends on jQuery and the jQuery UI. Don't delete the old versions of those files or you'll mess up the Admin. As an alternative, there is an Admin Theme Switcher that allows you to change the theme on the Admin side and use the updated jQuery files.

I just spent a couple hours trying to figure this one out.  When I installed Theme Switcher, I removed the original jquery js and css files because I didn't think they were needed any more.  This totally messed-up the admin panel.  Once I put them back, the admin panel returned to normal.  Maybe a note in the docs saying don't delete the originals might prevent another dope like me from making that mistake?

Anyway, I just wanted to say that this is a REALLY nice add-on!  Except for the goof with the admin panel, the install went flawlessly, the docs were understandable, and the features work perfectly!

Thanks SO much for your work, and for helping all of us folks out here get Theme Switcher working!

Regards,

Chris

I try to cover everything, but people keep finding new ways of breaking things. The most important advice I can give is to follow the instructions exactly. Don't do anything that isn't explicitly stated. Of course that only works if the instructions are correct to start with.

Thank you for your code, you excellent documentation and the help you offer here.
After installing Theme Switcher I have lost the localization of the datepicker. I have copied catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/header_tags/ht_theme_switcher.php to catalog/includes/languages/swedish/modules/header_tags/ht_theme_switcher.php (by the way, it would be a good idea to warn in the documentation that this step is needed when using more languages), and I have checked that I have the line
define('JQUERY_DATEPICKER_I18N_CODE', 'sv');
in both catalog/includes/languages/swedish.php and catalog/admin/includes/languages/swedish.php,
and that i have the filecatalog/ext/jquery/ui/i18n/jquery.ui.datepicker-sv.js with the right settings, but the default English datepicker appears on Swedish pages.

Edited by figuera, 24 May 2012 - 05:23 PM.

[kymation]

The datepicker localization code (in template_top.php) is:

<?php
  if (tep_not_null(JQUERY_DATEPICKER_I18N_CODE)) {
?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ext/jquery/ui/i18n/jquery.ui.datepicker-<?php echo JQUERY_DATEPICKER_I18N_CODE; ?>.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional['<?php echo JQUERY_DATEPICKER_I18N_CODE; ?>']);
</script>
<?php
  }
?>

Move that code after this line:

<?php echo $oscTemplate->getBlocks('header_tags'); ?>

Please let me know if that works.

Regards
Jim

[figuera]

Yes, that worked!
Thanks a lot!
