Ken2k7 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It's just a change in the CSS I think. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/156158-change-color/#findComment-822046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattal999 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Here are some basic instructions: 1) Make each template using CSS, call them something like red.css and blue.css. 2) Make a new PHP script that retrieves a variable like $_GET['color'] and sets a cookie with this value that will almost never expire. 3) On the template page, make a option box that redirects to the new PHP script with a GET variable of color=Option box value, then in the stylesheet include, do a check for the cookie and insert the relevant stylesheet, for example <?php echo $_COOKIE['color']; ?> Vague, but will work.

ignace Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Check: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/alternate/ or look for css switcher on google this option has an instant effect so you do not need to reload the page for it to work Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/156158-change-color/#findComment-822056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhodesa Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 or, in your CSS you can use a parent class, and change it with JavaScript <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .redTemplate h1 { color: red; } .blueTemplate h1 { color: blue; } .greenTemplate h1 { color: green; } </style> </head> <body class="redTemplate"> <h1>Here is my title</h1> <select onChange="document.body.className=this.value"> <option value="redTemplate">Red Template</option> <option value="blueTemplate">Blue Template</option> <option value="greenTemplate">Green Template</option> </select> </body> </html> you can then expand on that, setting a cookie to remember the selected template Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/156158-change-color/#findComment-822061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
