[How To?] Other Theme trough application.

[Skorm92]

Hello again MyBB community!

This time I'd like to request some help with my project,
I'm creating a desktop client for my project,
It simply embeds the website, But for the application i'd like to use a diffrent theme. I tried to do it via User Agent String, But it had no luck.

I found some old threads about displaying diffrent themes on a subdomain but I can't get any of them working.

What's the best way to get this right?

Sincerely,
Skorm92

Is it possible for you to pass in a variable when you first load the forum from your application? like http://yourforum.com/index.php?theme=1

Then you can handle that in global.php and set the appropriate theme. Or alternatively you can find a plugin that can handle theme changing via url (MyTheme?)

[Skorm92]

Thank you. But no, I don't want to set the users theme.
I want to make a subdomain or URL show a different theme.

Like what GoMobile does. It overides the current theme with a mobile version, no matter what.

Bump,

[.m.]

^ you can use plugin like MyTheme and need not show the theme selector.
still you can use different URLs to get different theme into action.

[Skorm92]

But doesn't the user selected theme override the MyTheme selected one?

[.m.]

^ you have to edit templates to remove the theme selection.

Maybe you can use: "Lite (Archive) Mode" or "Printable Version" with your application...

Thank you, But no. I just wan't to use a different theme by using a different theme,
I will try the above suggestions.

MyTheme's preferences override the user's previously selected theme.
