you could create a 'dummy' theme that changed the theme parameter based on the users group....

It doesnt matter - I would use a switch conditional, and for each case set $theme to a different value. It could be an Xanthia or AutoTheme or Classic theme

for some of us.. tweaking a theme doesn't sound as daunting as "just writing up an API function" .
although, if you want to point me towards some reading materials on the topic.. I'd be glad to give that a stab too.. :)

..crap. I had a big post written, hit submit and my session timed out and I lost it :(
basically, if you're willing to do it yourself, you might want to check http://php.net and http://www.w3schools.com .. or pitch a couple of bucks in the direction of a coder and have it done for you..
good luck! ..sounds like a cool feature.

..special sale on core hacks today:
add this to pnAPI.php
Code
function pnChangeThemeByGroup($uid)
{
$dbconn =& pnDBGetConn(true);
$pntable =& pnDBGetTables();
if(pnConfigGetVar('theme_change') == 1){
return; //if they're not allowed to change themes..stop.
}
$memtable = $pntable['group_membership'];
$memcolumn = &$pntable['group_membership_column'];
$grptable = $pntable['groups'];
$grpcolumn = &$pntable['groups_column'];
$query = "SELECT $grpcolumn[name] FROM $grptable, $memtable
WHERE $grpcolumn[gid]=$memcolumn[gid]
AND $memcolumn[uid]='".pnVarPrepForStore($uid)."'";
$result =& $dbconn->Execute($query);
if (($dbconn->ErrorNo() != 0) OR $result->EOF) {
return;
}
list($groupname) = $result->fields;
$result->Close();
if($groupname == 'Admins'){
$newtheme = 'AdminTheme'; // must be active available themes
} else if($groupname = 'Users'){
$newtheme = 'UsersTheme';
}
if(pnUserGetTheme() != $newtheme){
$usrtable = $pntable['users'];
$usrcolumn = &$pntable['users_column'];
$sql = "UPDATE $usrtable SET $usrcolumn[theme]='".pnVarPrepForStore($newtheme)."'";
$result =& $dbconn->Execute($sql);
}
return;
}
now in your header.php find & add:
Code
function head() {
pnChangeThemeByGroup(pnUserGetVar('uid')); // there's no output..
.
.
.
.
.
..change the theme names before adding this function to ones that exist in your theme directory.. you have to enable users to be able to change themes in Admin->Settings ..doesn't matter though, they'll never be able to change it if this function is in place ;)
PS: don't blame me if something goes wrong.. ;)

$newtheme = 'AdminTheme'; // must be active available themes
} else if($groupname = 'Users'){
$newtheme = 'UsersTheme';
}
to
this
Code
if($groupname == 'Admins'){
$newtheme = 'AdminTheme'; // must be active available themes
} else if($groupname = 'Users'){
$newtheme = 'UsersTheme';
}else if($groupname = 'group1'){
$newtheme = 'extralight';
}else if($groupname = 'group2'){
$newtheme = 'extraheavy';
}

it takes a refresh after the first page load.. if you needed to debug it, echo that function in the header.php and change the return; in the actual function to return info like: return 'problem is here'; ..etc. I tested it quite a bit, but it was late and it's not quite as pretty as it could have been ;)
make sure you have that admin setting enabled where users can change their themes too.. post your solution when you find it for any onlookers too.. thanks :D

(I've left this post for others to laugh at my struggles, but the current situation is posted below)
turns out the majority of my issues were permissions related. pleas ehitme in the head with a hammerQuote
damn! I jinxed the jinx
ok so somethng did happen!!
I've just got to back track and figure out what's going on..
ok I've gotCode
if($groupname == 'Admins'){
$newtheme = 'Aqua3'; // must be active available themes
} else if($groupname = 'Users'){
$newtheme = 'K_web_os';
}else if($groupname = 'test'){
$newtheme = 'ExtraLight';
}
the quirks:
- [*:08b06d19a0]a user belonging to multiple groups.. that was a bugger.. but easily fixed by reassigning who bleongs to what
- [*:08b06d19a0]I temporarily had a dummy user who had individual admin permissions to everything, but belonged to the "test" group-it used the "User"group theme on login, when viewing the news page, butwhen I clicked on admininstration, it shifted to "Admins" group theme. never once using the "test" group theme. and clicking back on "home" (news) it went back to the user theme
- [*:08b06d19a0] now my test user for group "test" looks like its using the "ExtraLight" theme while it displays the "hang on- logging you in!" test.. but then goes directly to the Aqua3 theme (admins group theme) but of course, it shows nothing but the header. typing in site/user.php dreictly accesses that page in the user group theme so I can log out.. but if i use user.php to set the theme to the K-web_os which is assigned to group User for my user in group User.. again, I just get the header.
confusion..
I was supposed to enter
Code
pnChangeThemeByGroup(pnUserGetVar('uid'));
below the existing
Code
$header = 1;
function head() {
right?
or was that supposed be a whole new function?
and looking at it... should they all be the double equals.. like this?
Code
if($groupname == 'Admins'){
$newtheme = 'Aqua3'; // must be active available themes
} else if($groupname == 'Users'){
$newtheme = 'K_web_os';
} else if($groupname == 'test'){
$newtheme = 'ExtraLight';
}
with the tweak above, for some reason, only the Admin functions. that user/group only loads its theme once you click away from the news page.. but the initial news theme is k_web_os.
