Template chooser for joomla 1.5. With this module users can change the template in the frontend. In the backend you can select which templates you want to show in the frontend.

If the template chooser is not working as it should, check out the FAQ on my homepage.

###### version 2.0 released #######
- new feature: In the backend you get a list of all templates and you can select which templates you want to show or hide in your module. By default all templates are shown.
- module now inside a div (class="templatechooser") to allow easier formatting
- removed the moduleprefix parameter from the backend as it did nothing
- bugfix: changing the template no longer jumps to the homepage, but just reloads the current page

Templates don't "stick" by arathra, August 26, 2008

As a quick way to change templates for testing this is excellent.

However, the selected template is stored in a session variable only so if the browser is closed and re-opened it goes back to the default template.

This is a *real* shame for us (and many other sites I would imagine.

If this feature were included then definitely top marks, but until then only an average rating.

Does the Trick. by cybersalt, August 13, 2008

It worked great once I edited includes/application.php as described below.

Awesome Extension! by yaani, August 10, 2008

Great extension. Works perfectly after changing the includes/application/php file as instructed in an earlier review. Thanks so much!

Thank you! by teresao, July 10, 2008

I was kind of sad when I realized that Joomla 1.5 did not have Template Switcher. The Great Part is that this template switcher is even nicer than the origional. The FAQ for this was easy to find and impliment.

Needed patching to work by hkeyzer, June 6, 2008

Works well once - the suggested change to application.php file was made.

Works great!! by Mindvacant, April 19, 2008

Smooth installation, and worked perfectly after I modified the "/includes/application.php" file.

Thanks

Nice! by kgraff, April 11, 2008

This was easy to install and worked like a champ after editing the includes/application.php file as suggested above.

I set the module to only be available to registered users. A bit of a reward for logging in!

Great for testing templates without changing default template in the backend.

But need a very small change in the Joomla Core to work:
In file /includes/application.php in function getTemplate change the line
if ($template = $this->get('setTemplate')) {
to this one
if ($template = $this->getUserState('setTemplate')) {

My respect & thanks to the developer. :)

Greetings from old europe.
