Thanks Beat ! I hope the code is clear enough.
I'll wait with the plugin until stable comes out.

I've just checked how to do this, and added to 1.0 stable a new plugin API event "onBeforeUserProfileRequest", which gets fired at the very begin of any user profile request, and will allow you to execute your code right there, before the CB template is outputed.

Same event has other useful applications .

Thanks for your suggestion. Please continue sharing your excellent work on CB templating

Great news. I was lookig for that event to write a plugin.
And it's true, this opens up a lot of possibilities, not only for the templating system.

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.

I have not put that code as is in next release. Only a plugin-event call.

The code as is is not universal, as it uses fixed field names.

I prefer much the plugin-approach, as it keeps the core simple and slick, while allowing multiple uses of the events provided.

Our core component is quite self-explaining to configure, and we would like to keep it so.

Anyway, stable is not far away anymore...
