How to use just one Theme

How to remove the choice for the users for a theme.
I want to use just 1. In the admin config its possible to ser the standard theme, but a user can still change a theme for the forum.
In the forum config i cant set the theme to subblack. There's only the default subsilver.

I take it you are using 6.5?

Okay here is a way of doing it, although somebody might suggest a better way.

Set the Nuke Preferences in admin to subblack and your forum will be subblack.

Goto /modules/Your_Account/ and open up nav.php

Find line 71-77

Code:

if ($thmcount > 1) {
	$menuimg = menuimg("themes.gif");
	echo "<td width=\"10%\"><font class=\"content\">"
              ."<center><a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=chgtheme\"><img src=\"$menuimg\" border=\"0\" alt=\""._SELECTTHETHEME."\" title=\""._SELECTTHETHEME."\"></a>
"
	   ."<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=chgtheme\">"._SELECTTHETHEME."</a>"
	    ."</center></form></font></td>";
   }

And place a // in front of each line.

This will mean if they goto "Your Account" the ability to change themes is taken away.

The downside is that if you want to test an alternative theme yourself, you will have to take out the // from line 71 - 77 login to your account and change theme for yourself - then re-do the // again.

Hope that helps

The easiest way is to remove ALL but your Default theme from your themes folder on your FTP, then the selection to change themes will magically disappear from the Your Account page since you now only have ONE theme in your themes folder.

One mroe thing. If your users have any issues because of removing the "other" themes. you may need to clear their theme selction filed in the database.

You can do that using this script.
Copy this. Paste it in notepad and save as cleartheme.php

Code:

<?php

######################################################
# File to clear themes from PHP-Nuke 6.5
# After you used this file, you can safely delete it.
######################################################
#            -= WARNING: PLEASE READ =-
#
# NOTE: This file uses config.php to retrieve needed
# variables values. So, to do the upgrade PLEASE copy
# this file in your server root directory and execute
# it from your browser.
######################################################

include("mainfile.php");

####################### BEGIN THE UPDATE #######################################



// clear theme
$db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_users SET theme=''");

Upload to your main Nuke directory and then run it
http://www.yoursite.com/cleartheme.php

that will clear the theme selection field fo all users..Doesn't hurt anything.

Backup your Database just in case though.

Mikem: I am doing the same thing, removing all other themes... And I have a question, are there any directories in the themes folder that need to stay there, that are neccessary files, or should I just delete every folder that's not the theme I want?

Thanks.

There should only be theme's folder sin the themes directory.
You should be safe to delete all the "other" themes in your themes directory and leave your default one.

You want a hard problem about this topic? Here we go...

Nuke 6.0 with phpbbtonuke 2.0.4
BackDog theme for Nuke (graphics changed)
Charcoal theme for phpbb (damn...i didn't knew from begining that Charcoal has BlackDog as theme for Nuke integrated into his package)

BlackDog is hardly coded and gives many kinds of bugs and already I fixed some of them but many other left. So if i overwrite BlackDog files into Charcoal it gives me nasty errors.

No other themes in /theme folder only those 2. Ofcourse users can change from Your_account the theme from BlackDog into Charcoal looks same BUT many modules which are working good unde BlackDog are changed a little bit (ie. if i have one module with right side blocks OFF after users apply Charcoal those Blocks are shown)
Also if a user tries to change the theme from Forum Profile and clicks on the single choice (Charcoal) then he has that theme for Nuke also.

I tried to UPDATE the field theme with '' in nuke_users but if a user which made that change comes back he has the changed theme just because of the cookies i think and is updated into db without doing anything.
I tried to make the theme field from nuke_users NULL and default IS NULL but no good.

Again i think te best way is to copy actual BlackDog over Charcoal.. but when i did it i got nasty erros.

Anyone willing to fix this mess?
