CB RC2 Templates

for the record and what its worth: i am sad that this project stopped!!

wow, i didnt notice this post got so many hits. Maybe its good to continue on this. I'll continue creating more templates after CB stable version is released. I afraid if the stable released is different and maybe hoping the stable release got that template changer for each user. If stable released dont have that, then need to create plugin for it but it is best to wait after the stable version is released. BTW, any1 here know when is the stable version is release ? Its been quite some time now waiting for it.

Hey I too think this is a great addition to the CB community. Please don't abandon it. We are all looking forward to your next releases in templates. Thansk for all of your hard work.

I've managed to get a dynamic template per user.
It's still very alpha (meaning it are only code hacks nw) but I'm going to try to put it all in a plugin.

What did I do:

First I created a single dropdown field with the name cb_template. This field is populated with three values: dark, osx and webfx (just for testing purposes).
I'm going to put this in a plugin with a template preview.

Next I changed in comprofiler.class.php the function selectTemplate($ui):
Added to globals:
global $database, $my, $_REQUEST;

Right after the globals I added this:
if (ISSET($_REQUEST)) {
$query="SELECT cb_template FROM #__comprofiler WHERE id = ".$_REQUEST;
} else {
$query="SELECT cb_template FROM #__comprofiler WHERE id = ".$my->id;
}
$database->setQuery( $query );
$templates = $database->loadObjectList();
$template = $templates[0];
$templatedir=$template->cb_template;
if ($templatedir) $ueConfig=$templatedir;

Now each user has his own profile template. Users with no profile set get the default profile.
Anybody got an idea how I can add the changes to the selecttemplate function in a plugin ? I don't want to create a plugin that requires code hacks.

Thanks 4 da code man...... Helps me alot. But now i hope CB stable release they put this code....... To beat, plzzzzz read this. Its an intresting idea... Then all other users just download template as a plugins....

I'm watching this thread, and will read the code, and if needed, try to implement the needed events into 1.0 stable, so that a plugin can handle this

Thanks for the appreciated contribution,
