SMF For Free Support Forum

Forum Url: http://skinchooser.smfforfree3.com
Well, this is the very first Skin Chooser to be put out for SMF for Free!  The only skins it has is are the:
Default
Red
Black
Green
Lavender
Peach would be in there, but I had some trouble with accually makeing the skin work...so I took it out.  Anyway, Before you install this Code onto your forum, you will want to change the Forum Default Skin in your Manage Styles section of your Admin CP to the defualt skin since I never got the accuall CSS for it.

Now, once you have done that, You will need the Jquery code, which is What you need for all my codes, so some people may have it already...Place in Headers:
<script src="/jquery.js"></script>Now you will need to add this part to your Headers:
<script src="http://h1.ripway.com/smcodes/skinssource.js">//Skin Source</script>That above code is the Main source of the Skin Chooser.  You will not need to add this everytime you put a new skin chooser on because It contains all you need for each Skin Chooser Version.

Now you need to also add this to the Headers.  This part is the table for the the Default Skin Chooser.  This is really the only part that is diffrent when your adding another Skin Chooser.
<div id="skin_chooser_default" class="catbg"><a href="#" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet(''); return false;">Default</a> | <a href="#" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet('Black'); return false;">Black</a> | <a href="#" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet('Red'); return false;">Red</a> | <a href="#" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet('Green'); return false;">Green</a> | <a href="#" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet('Brown'); return false;">Brown</a> | <a href="#" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet('Lavender'); return false;">Lavender</a></div>
Now, you will need to add this to the Footers section, this accually contians the code that makes the skin chooser work correctly.
<script src="http://h1.ripway.com/smcodes/skinchooser.js">//Skin Chooser</script>
That is basicly all the Skin Chooser is.  There will be diffrent version of the skin chooser soon.  There will also be codes so you can customise your Skin Chooser.
I hope you like the Skin Chooser!

If you have any questions, please join the main forum of the SKin Chooser and ask them here:

Just post a new topic and I will try to answer your questions as soon as I can...

This is a great code.  Thanks for making it.

Soon I will make a tutorial for you so that you can add your own skins.

Is this suppose to happen as you change to go to different posts or refresh a page:

example: if I am reading this thread and click on the back button or go back to the top and click on all unread message ... I see a circuit board type design with no color as a background, behind the words  while it is loading the page


I have the silver stylesheet set up as the default...but when you refresh the page you see the above image..then it goes back to the silver.

^^Ditto.

I have no idea why the text is there though...

EDIT: I see your useing the Techno Skin Chooser though.

I am?  lmao....didn't know that...I just installed the first one you put out on here.

I like it, but I was unable to switch back to the user created styles oh well. 

You will probably have to just remove the script from your headers/footeers and then you can go back to using the user created styles. As soon as moose lets us know how - we will be able to incorporate the skins we want to use in there instead of the ones he has. One thing to keep in mind about that though - theres no way to have it load the images for posts - you would need to find an image that will go with ALL of the stylesheets you add to it.

Do you have this in your Footers:
<script src="http://h1.ripway.com/smcodes/skinchooser.js">//Skin Chooser</script>
EDIT:  I don't really like the fact that your editing the code, even though you didn't edit the main part of the code.  I guess I should show you how to add your own skins...
