Hi, thanks for your contributions.

Please note that this plugin bypasses theme permissions that the default theme selector doesn't.

Yes, the purpose is to allow theme change using a link Smile

Default theme selector doesn't allow theme change using link.

I don't want to hijack your thread, but you can kind of achieve it, tho not so nicely as it doesn't redirect.

<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/?theme=1&amp;my_post_key={$mybb->post_code}">Theme</a>

Out of curiosity, can you share this link to a person who is not having MyBB account? Smile

It won't work for them and hence this plugin solves it.

^ sorry, such link also works for the guests as they have my_post_key

Pardon me for asking, how can I share the link on other places?
As far as I know, the above link would work fine on the forum but it can't be shared.
As far as I know, every guest will have a different my_post_key and hence this above link couldn't be shared outside the forum.

If it can be shared outside the forum, then the ported XTheme plugin is useless. Smile

^ no, as you said, that link can't be shared outside the forum.

That's the purpose of this plugin. I use this plugin for WallBB theme demo links outside MyBB, hopefully this plugin can help in some other use case as well.

You are right, it can’t be shared outside templates.
