Question about user theme selection

Regular Joined: Sep 13, 2003 Posts: 56 Location: Virginia

I would like to establish a default theme and NOT offer my site user the ability to change to another theme..is this possible, without deleting all the other themes from my site?

I just don't know where to start to disable this user function Evil or Very Mad

Here would be one way. In Your_Account/navbar.php, find this code on or about line 71

Code:

 


    if ($thmcount > 1) { 


   $menuimg = menuimg("themes.gif"); 


   echo "<td width=\"10%\"><font class=\"content\">" 


       ."<center><a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=chgtheme\"><img src=\"$menuimg\" border=\"0\" alt=\""._SELECTTHETHEME."\" title=\""._SELECTTHETHEME."\"></a><br>" 


       ."<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=chgtheme\">"._SELECTTHETHEME."</a>" 


       ."</center></form></font></td>"; 


    }

change it to

Code:

 


    if ($thmcount > 1) { 


   $menuimg = menuimg("themes.gif"); 


/*** 


   echo "<td width=\"10%\"><font class=\"content\">" 


       ."<center><a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=chgtheme\"><img src=\"$menuimg\" border=\"0\" alt=\""._SELECTTHETHEME."\" title=\""._SELECTTHETHEME."\"></a><br>" 


       ."<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=chgtheme\">"._SELECTTHETHEME."</a>" 


       ."</center></form></font></td>"; 


***/ 


    }

Then, as a safety measure to keep the white hat hackers from slipping by Wink

also modify Your_Account/index.php. Find this code towards the bottom

Code:

 


    case "chgtheme": 


   chgtheme(); 


   break;

and change it to

Code:

 


    case "chgtheme": 


//   chgtheme(); 


   break;

Another less elegant, but simpler way, is to just change this line
if ($thmcount > 1)
to
if ($thmcount > 1000)

Since you will never have 1000 themes, the logic never executes.
