Hi People,

I plan to build a Joomla (or) Drupal like template chooser option. But i dont know how to build it ?  Plz drop your suggestion on this.

Advance thanks for your reply.

I have no idea how the Joomla template chooser works, but you could probably change the sites entire appearance by changing a single CSS file (See CSS Zen Garden for examples)
You can then just store what stylesheet the user uses in the users table, and load that one on each page

If you want to let them change templates on the fly, just have a dropdown on each page (header of footer) with the list which sets the name and path of that stylesheet in a session variable

This (is) a wild idea, but you could treat subfolders (of) application/views as themes. Then in all your view calls, you append (the) “theme” to the view.

$theme = 'zany';
//...
$this->load->view($theme .'/template', $data);

Suggeztion drizzopped…
