Can a site visitor change the template?

Hi, Is there a way to put a link or drop down box so the web site visitor can change the template they view?

Reason being that I am developing a site for a charity and they need to have two sites: one pretty with all the graphics and another non-graphics (or minimal anyway) which could easily be based around the minimal template. This is for people with vision problems and need large text sizes.

Or is there a better way to have the same content viewable under two different templates?

Any ideas?

Thanks, Steven

Hi, lots of people viewing this post but no ideas?

Essentially I need to produce a text only or low graphics version of a site using a minimal template along side the usual fully graphical template.

Any ideas how I can do this?

You could use a method like this:

Or you could use the frontend user module and build the template around the user's requirements.

There's a module in the Forge http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/styleswitcher. This is also possible to change in the browser if multiple css files are specified.

Thanks for all the ideas. I'll be checking those out in the next few days.

Can't think of any reason this topic was moved to the MLE board. At no point is my topic about multi-lingual or different language version.

Nem hiszem, valamilyen okból ez a téma átkerült az MLE fórumon. Egyáltalán nem az én témakörben, több nyelv, illetve a különböző nyelvi változatban.

oops.
