HI. I've got a Problem.

I am creating a Multigaming Page atm. preview on http://dsd.wolfgang-falk.com . My Problem is : i would like to use themes based on different Conntent.

eg. We have a Community Section a WOW section and a Vanguard section.
So now if someone uses a Link on my left navi menu , the Theme would be changed. I do not want it to be done with a dropdown box etc, it should change automatically.
eg, now i have following linktype
contentid-1.html
and if i want the link to hange the style it is kinda like this :
contentid-1.html&changetheme=WOWTheme

This is one Idea (better one)

The one that is is not that good, but would be a solution too, would be to change the Buttuons that are now specified as "Home" "Downloads" "Forum" "Supporters" "Your account" into "Community" "Vanguard" " WOW" and let em change the theme.

I hope someone can help me.

I found 2 sites that might help:
http://themechooser.com/cpgNuke/ <--- if you use the theme chooser there you get
http://themechooser.com/cpgNuke/index.php?prevtheme=CR-Blue but it does not stay, if you klick teh next link, its gone.

then, there is altho a site Sengers.au. they have a block, which almost does what i need. How can i change this block, to work like a module, or insert a part of this code into my platinum 7.6 Template so it changes the Template to the Template i want it to change to ?

it has 2 files:

Code:

//visittheme.php (to be included in mainfile.php)
<?php
global $user, $ThemeSel, $theme, $sessiontheme, $Default_Theme, $name;
if(IsSet($admin))$limitend=$adlimit;
$set_reg=ini_get("register_globals");
if($set_reg!="1"){ini_set("register_globals", "1");}
if($theme!="")$sessiontheme=$theme;
if($sessiontheme==""){$sessiontheme=$Default_Theme;$ThemeSel=$sessiontheme; session_register('sessiontheme');}
$ThemeSel=$sessiontheme; $Default_Theme=$sessiontheme; $theme=$sessiontheme;
?>

Code:

//Block-Visit-Theme.php
<?php
if (eregi("block-VisitTheme.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])){
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

require_once("mainfile.php");
$title = "Theme Chooser";
global $theme, $Default_Theme, $name;
if($name==""){$name="index";}
if($name!=""){
$content="";
$content .= "<center><table border=2><tr><td><center>";
$content .= "<form action=\"modules.php\" method=\"POST\">";
$content .= "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"name\" value=\"$name\">";
$content .= "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"theme\" value=\"$theme\">";
$content .= "<center><B>Select another<br>theme from the list.</B></center><BR><br>";
$content .= "<select name=\"theme\" onchange=submit();>";
$handle=opendir('themes');
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
if ( (!ereg("[.]",$file)) ) {
   $themelist .= "$file ";
}
}
closedir($handle);
$themelist = explode(" ", $themelist);
sort($themelist);
for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($themelist); $i++) {
if($themelist[$i]!="") {
   $content .= "<option value=\"$themelist[$i]\" ";
if((($userinfo[theme]=="") && ($themelist[$i]=="$Default_Theme")) || ($userinfo[theme]==$themelist[$i]))
$content .= "selected";
   $content .= ">$themelist[$i]\n";
}
}
$content .= "</select>";
$content .= "</form>";
$content .="</center>";
$content .= "</td></tr></table></center>";
}
else
{
$content = "";
$content .= "<center>Not available if no modules are in use.</center>";
}
?>

I hope someone can help me,

AutoTheme will allow you to do this easily.
