I've never needed to do this before. The only way i can think to do it is in the fourm configuration -

Override user style
[Replaces users style with the default] Set that to yes see if it works.

Ya i tried that and it doesnt work.. plus it allows my users to go in their menu and change it back. i guess this would be a module request or something...

You could temporarily remove

Code:

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

from modules/your account/navbar.php

hummm that could definalty work.. but im still stuck with problem #1 If i install a new theme... i want all users to use it by default. the way phpnuke 7.5 works, the users that are currently registered, will still have the 'old default' style and not the new one. (unless THEY change it.)

Just set all their themes back to default with

Code:

UPDATE nuke_users SET theme = "" ;

via phpmyadmin

actually, i think i can modify it just a little

if ($thmcount > 1) {
$menuimg = menuimg("themes.gif");

this means if there are more then 1 theme display the pic. all i could modify is add/change a number.. IE

if ($thmcount > 5) {
$menuimg = menuimg("themes.gif");

so if i ahve more then 5 themes.. then display the icon.

other then that, im not fond on going into my sql and changing something, so i will make sure that it works. right...

the code: UPDATE nuke_users SET theme = "" ;

do i put anything in between the "" ??

That would just wipe everyones selection out defaulting them to default, if you wish to be sure they get new theme place the theme name in there.

Guys, this was really simple. I simply changed 1 thing and everything worked...

I changed

if ($thmcount > 1) {
$menuimg = menuimg("themes.gif");

to

if ($thmcount > 5) {
$menuimg = menuimg("themes.gif");

as soon as i set that to my default them (in eht admin panel) my own default them changed. so im guessing everyone elses did too.. ot at least i hope

thx fopr all your help
