Template Switching in v2.8.3

(1/2) > >>

Hi Everyone

We've just upgraded our version of WB to 2.8.3.

In our previous version we added a mobile detect script which set the template to www.url.com/?template=mobile which then displayed a mobile version of the web site.

It doesn't seem to be possible to do this in v2.8.3??? Before you could add "?template=xxxxx" to the end of any page URL and it would switch to that template but this isn't working in 2.8.3

I have installed the templates ok so the directories, files and settings etc are all there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks nibz - that's perfect.

The only thing I'm now getting is a redirection error "too many server redirects" when visiting the site via an Android device. Which is something we didn't get on the previous WB version.

1: clear browser cache -> try again.

2: if that doesn't work post the .htaccess content here

To no longer display an php notice update the script to:


--- Code: ---// Sticky Template switcher
if (isset($_GET['template'])) {  // get the template to display from URL
   if(file_exists(WB_PATH.'/templates/'.$_GET['template'].'/index.php')) {
      define('TEMPLATE',$_GET['template']);
      $_SESSION['TEMPLATE']=TEMPLATE;
    }
} else {   // else get the template to display from Session Variable
    if(isset($_SESSION['TEMPLATE']) AND $_SESSION['TEMPLATE'] != '')
        define('TEMPLATE',$_SESSION['TEMPLATE']);
}

--- End code ---
