I created a Theme Changer sidebox module for OpenCart. It allows you to showcase your themes and change them with a simple select box.
DEMO
It should work with 1.3.2 and later versions. Haven't tried earlier versions.

is it possible to replace this switcher with the language switcher?
so when it changes languages, change also the language??

What?! you mean nobody stayed up all night to fix it between 7pm and 6am? How dare they!
Try this.. change
Code: Select all
if (isset($this->request->get['theme']) && $this->request->get['theme'] || isset($this->session->data['theme'])) {
to
Code: Select all
if (strpos(DIR_APPLICATION, 'catalog') !== false && ((isset($this->request->get['theme']) && $this->request->get['theme']) || isset($this->session->data['theme']))) {

Funnier is that I don't get the error at all on FF or IE even before the fix. But the fix above should fix it.

I installed v1.4.8.1 on OC v1.4.9.1
It didnt work for me. I have two themes: Default and theme2. When I choose theme2 it changes a few of the graphics (not all of them), and screws up the CSS etc.
So the url ends with: index.php?route=common/home&theme=theme2 then I click on HOME so the url returns to normal but the site still appears to be all f'd up.
If I then click on Default again it returns to the default theme and displays normally?
Has anyone else encountered similar problems? If so how did they fix it?
Cheers

Mmmmmm perhaps Im missing something as mine doesnt do that fancy effect when you change back to default. I shall double check everything is in its place, perhaps I missed something.
UPDATE: Well I dont know what went missing but I copy pasted the mod and then uploaded all the files and hey presto it works. Im sure it was working before but then went funny. Anyway all is well with the world...
