Theme Changers?

[Kaila]

An admin brought to my attention that we have many useable templates for our site. They also suggested we make a 'theme changer' for the front end user. so they could select the template they like the best. I semi know how to do this in regular php, but how would I integrate it with CMSMS? How would I select the templates that we have in there, and make it so we choose from which templates they will be able to choose?

Thanks =) But I have some questions. Can I use that to change images and stylesheets? Or is it just for stylesheets?

It's only for stylesheets - on stylesheets you can only change background images ...

And unfortunately, sometimes using the image as a background doesn't work.  I've found that out when doing my own stylesheets.  Sometimes that just throws the layout out of whack.

I would think, though, that one could put all the images used by the templates in the primary image folder (i.e. domain.tld/images/).  That's what I did.  Technically, you could have all the images needed for the templates themselves in that folder.  Images in the content could still point to /uploads/images, or uploads/user/images.
