IP.Board Skin changer No Longer Works

[Nathan]

After upgrading to IP.Board 3.3 I noticed that the skin change links in the "Change Theme" drop down didn't work anymore.

 

Here is the fix:

 

1. Log into your Admin CP

2. Click on "Look and Feel" > "Manage Template Sets"

3. Click on the name of the template set you wish to edit

4. In the left hand menu, select 'globalTemplate' under 'Global Templates'

5. In the HTML code, scroll down until you see the following code right at the end of the template

 

 

Find this code in the current template:

<if test="skinchanger:|:count($footer_items['skin_chooser']) > 1">
    <if test="uagentlocked:|:$this->memberData['userAgentLocked'] AND ! $this->memberData['userAgentBypass']">
		    <li id='useragent_msg'>
				    {$this->lang->words['skin_browser_set']} <a href='{parse url="{$this->settings['query_string_formatted']}&unlockUserAgent=1" base="public"}'>{$this->lang->words['override_browser_theme']}</a>
		    </li>
    <else />
    <if test="isTouchDevice:|:$this->registry->output->isTouchDevice()">
		    <li>
				    <a href='{parse url="{$this->settings['query_string_formatted']}&setAsMobile=1" base="public"}'>{$this->lang->words['set_mobile_theme']}</a>
		    </li>
    </if>
		    <li>
				    <a rel="nofollow" id='new_skin' href='#'>{$this->lang->words['change_theme']}</a>					  
				    <ul id='new_skin_menucontent' class='ipbmenu_content with_checks' style='display: none'>
						    <foreach loop="$footer_items['skin_chooser'] as $skin">
								    <li <if test="$skin['selected']">class='selected'</if>>
										    <a href='{parse url="{$this->settings['query_string_formatted']}&k={$this->member->form_hash}&settingNewSkin={$skin['id']}" base="public"}'>{$skin['title']}</a>
								    </li>
						    </foreach>
				    </ul>
		    </li>
    </if>
</if>

 

 

Replace with this code:

<if test="skinchanger:|: ! $this->member->is_not_human && count($footer_items['skin_chooser']) > 1">
    <if test="uagentlocked:|:$this->memberData['userAgentLocked'] AND ! $this->memberData['userAgentBypass']">
		    <li id='useragent_msg'>
				    {$this->lang->words['skin_browser_set']} <a href='#' data-clicklaunch='changeSkin' data-skinid='unlockUserAgent'>{$this->lang->words['override_browser_theme']}</a>
		    </li>
    <else />
    <if test="isTouchDevice:|:$this->registry->output->isTouchDevice()">
		    <li>
				    <a href='#' data-clicklaunch='changeSkin' data-skinid='setAsMobile'>{$this->lang->words['set_mobile_theme']}</a>
		    </li>
    </if>
		    <li>
				    <a rel="nofollow" id='new_skin' href='#'>{$this->lang->words['change_theme']}</a>					  
				    <ul id='new_skin_menucontent' class='ipbmenu_content with_checks' style='display: none'>
						    <foreach loop="$footer_items['skin_chooser'] as $skin">
								    <li <if test="$skin['selected']">class='selected'</if>>
										    <a href='#' data-clicklaunch='changeSkin' data-skinid='{$skin['id']}'>{$skin['title']}</a>
								    </li>
						    </foreach>
				    </ul>
		    </li>
    </if>
</if>

Thanks for the fix man. This is definitely helpful for when I upgrade. Seems like they don't fully test their releases anymore......Pretty sure I'm gonna wait til 3.3.3 before upgrading.

They do test, but pretty much always going to find a few bugs that make it through I guess. Not a big deal for me though.
