#2 Changing Skins

[James Fleeting]

I'm using wheatBlog on my kids website and i've taken
out the wB codes it uses for stylesheets and replaced
it with my own to allow visitors to change between
skins(which is saves via cookie). This would be a nice
new feature for the next version of wB...

Very cool. I like that idea a lot. Can you give me an URL
so I can see it in action?

Its really simple at the moment and so far i've only edited
Josh's default skins. I'm gonna add a drop down menu that
will allow visitors to switch between skins. If you would
like a copy of the source code let me know. Its a very
simple method that uses little php and cookies to store the
choice... Its much like the sameway you can change themes on
wB now, besides now you don't have to actually edit the
settings file to change, you can just click a link and it
sets a new css file.

It's fun. I love it! Yeah, send it on over. I'll
probably make it an admin option whether to allow style
sheet changes or not.

Prolly not for a few weeks at least though. I wanted to
take care of hacking out any bugs before adding new
features, but I like this idea!

I have emailed you via sf.net with the info for the
sourcecode... After its added, i'll have to upgrade my copy...

This is in-line with the idea of putting more of the
settings into the DB so they can be changed via a control
panel of some sort. It's a good idea.
