#24 - Quickly change your template from the frontend

Its quite easy to quickly change your the view of Joomla through a template in the backend. And through the frontend, you can use the Template Chooser.

What you need to do is insert the following web address: http://www.dart-creations.com/index.php?jos_change_template=rhuk_solarflare_ii

So use the following http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?jos_change_template 

Just add jos_change_template=<your template name> to your site to do this on your site. Obviously the name of the template must exist in the backend!

If you want to go back to the original DART Creations template click here: http://www.dart-creations.com/index.php?jos_change_template=ja_pollux

Rick - Tip #24 IP:98.28.15.95 | 2008-01-22 15:15:27 Great tip. It does change the template. However, if I select another menu item, it defaults back to the original template. It doesn't "stick". How is this an advantage over the template chooser? I appreciate these ideas...keep them coming! ;) Rick

Ken - Awesome IP:68.209.110.79 | 2008-01-25 22:45:08 Awesome tip dude! The lousy chooser module sets a 10min cookie which kills the chance for a user keeping the style he/she likes for any length of time.

Ken - Rats! IP:68.209.110.79 | 2008-01-26 06:39:30 I spoke too soon. As I logged into my site today, it went right back to the default. Is there anything or anyway to set a cookie to a visitor's template choice?
