Hey! I'm using 1.7 and the selector works perfectly there. I have one bug to report and one huge feature to suggest though.
1. The selector is not valid. However, achieving validity is quite easy, in tmpl / default.php you just have to have an action value for the form tag, which should be "#" in our case.
2. One click template change. It's possible to work out a single-click template change with template selector, but for this the users have to edit some code (hide everything in css but the next button). Would be great if you could add this feature for the next release, and then joomla users would have an easy template switcher for accessibility.
I give you four stars for the time being, but if you correct the validity and especially add the one-click template change, this plugin and module will well worth the five. Nicely done!

Very easy to install and worked perfectly first time on my J2.5 site...
Remember to activare the plugin or the module will only be "for show" with no function :)

I tried it with Joomla 2.5. It will not change the template. I believe this is a problem inside the Joomla 2.5 core included/application.php but could not fix to make this template selector work.
Great extension, easy to use and works first time. On a point of accessibility which has been noted before, is it possible to have the template options as links rather than a drop down list?
Many Thanks

I love it! Worked better than I had expected. When I select a template it stays that way until I reset it, or close out of the browser. Plus the reset button and thunmnails come in handy. Thanks for creating this. I'm sure it's helpful for template developers as well.
Thank you for this work. Was very impressed for these plug-in and module. They work great.
Hi there, my compliments to the creator, this really works great and i have integrated it in my website http://www.mvwebs.nl (it's in Dutch, but that doesn't affect the selector ;) so you can see a live demonstration.
Also tribute to the whole Joomla! community for their efforts and dedication, keep it up!

Hi, everyone, if you want a template changer which can change your template and effect the whole site, then this is the best choice. I have try a few template selectors, but they take effect only the front page, if you reload page, everything is return to the original point.
This is the truly template changer! vote 5 stars!
