Tom Christian Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'd like to request to have this functionality added back to IPB. I used this (and many other skin authors) for the "Demo" option in the IPS Marketplace in order to link potential customers to specific skins on a demo forum. Now, they're simply presented with the incorrect skin when following the demo link. Thanks, Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haku2 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yes, it would also be good for those who don't have JavaScript enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSNation Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I agree simply because its annoying clicking on skin demos and having to then go and change the skin. Why was this ever removed anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stars25 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 +1 on this. Makes the demo field in the Skins category of the Marketplace totally useless. Not only that, but it's now the customers of all us designers have to change the skin when they visit our demo board rather than being taken directly to it.

AndyF Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 There's a skinchange.php in the tools folder. That would be my initial suggestion for the moment. :) I'll admit when I tried it a while back I could not get it to work exactly as I expected but put that down to other factors rather than the tool itself.

I've tried it already and couldn't get it to work. Michael also told me that this tool probably won't work anymore due to the change in the way the skin chooser works in 3.3. If that's the case, I don't know why it's still there >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to suggest a bug report as either it should be removed from the .zip or ideally updated so it works. :smile: Then again, we have this feedback topic...

connorhawke Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 make sure you put skinchange.php?id=[insert skin id here] I just figured this out thanks to Ehren I uploaded skinchange.php to the site root and tried that but it didn't work. Got this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/(path)/public_html/cache/skin_cache/cacheid_(id)/skin_downloads.php on line 262 which is this line: <span class='file_count right'>" . $this->registry->getClass('class_localization')->formatNumber( $_cat['cfileinfo']['total_files'] ) . "</span> I tried disabling all third party hooks but that didn't help. I have the latest versions of all IPS software. Thanks for any assistance.

Wolfie Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I uploaded skinchange.php to the site root and tried that but it didn't work. This is the new URL. ipsRegistry::$settings['base_url'] . 'app=core&module=ajax§ion=skin&do=change&skinId=' . intval( $_GET['id'] ) . '&secure_key=' . $reg->member()->form_hash However, that returns something, so the trick is to run it as ajax and then redirect to the default landing page.

I appreciate the advice for an alternate skin change URL. But suddenly the skinchange.php variation is working.default IPS skin:http://xr3x.com/skinchange.php?id=26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can obtain it along with some other useful tools here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
