[SOLVED] Theme Switching and VQMOD
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2011 4:50 am
Hi Guys
I have have come up with a problem i have not encountered before with using vqmod, and i'm really really hoping someone shoots me down and says why aren't you doing this lol.
Baically i am creating a xmas theme for one of my clients, i thought i could duplicate the current theme as this is some custom hardcode in the template so bettre to duplicate it call it say christmas theme, and that seemed like a pretty good thing to do.
I then went about styling the xmas theme so when the time came they could turn it on.
However as i was getting through the stylseheet, something hit me about vqmod.
I have about 25 vqmods running on this store, a lot with the path leading to the original theme of the store, meaning that if enabled my christmas theme, the paths set for my original template would not match, therefore vqmods not being activated.
Can anyone give me a solution to this.
One i came up with which didn;t seem right was to duplicate each mod, name it something slightly different so it didn't overwrite the original, and then change the paths in each one to match the christmas theme.
But this means when i go to create them a valentines day theme and mothers day theme i have to do this same thing.
Can anyone offer any options i have or am I being a complete jackass? lol
Appreciate any answers!
