Great mod, but there seems to be a huge conflict with the line ...

Code: Select all

add_form_key('prime_quick_style');

Everytime you try to post or submit a form you'll get the message
"The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again."

If you'll remove the line everything works fine, well, except the Prime Quick Style mod itself.

I have installed it and it works really good... I am using Firefox 2.0.0.11, and IE ver 7.0.5730.11 and have no problems at all. Good job, and thanks for taking a mod request from this forum. That is nice of you.

I was wondering if the "Change" button is necessary though. The template changing seems to work for me as soon as I release the mouse button on the menu. I take it that is not the intention though, otherwise you wouldn't have included the "Change" button in the first place. Is the change button needed for certain browsers, or can it be safely taken out?

I noticed that issue right after I uploaded, and thought I removed it and re-uploaded before anyone had a chance to actually download it. You also have to remove the token check in ucp.php, and the token variable in the template changes.

The change button is for those people that don't have JavaScript enabled, but it could be placed inside <noscript></noscript> tags.

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_QUICK_STYLE_OPTIONS --><li class="rightside"><form action="{S_QUICK_STYLE_ACTION}" method="post"><label for="prime_quick_style"><span style="font-size:0.9em;vertical-align:middle">{L_PRIME_QUICK_STYLE}: </span><select name="prime_quick_style" id="prime_quick_style" style="font-size:0.9em;" onchange="this.form.submit();">{S_QUICK_STYLE_OPTIONS}</select></label><noscript><label><input type="submit" value="{L_CHANGE}" class="button2" style="font-size:0.9em;" /></label></noscript></form></li><!-- ENDIF -->

The <noscript> tags work perfectly

Note to users: don't forget to add the extra <label> </label> tags if you add the <noscript> tags.

Great work man thanks.

Can it be displayed for users that are logged out as well or this has some security risk?
Also would've been nice to have it on bottom of page.

Can you write same one for changing language?

I don't think it's a security risk, I just don't know if it will change for all guests when one guest changes it. And if it does, I'm sure a workaround can be found, but at the moment I don't have time to work on that. Paid projects always take precedence.

Subsilver2 instructions are located in the templates folder.

onchange="" will break XHTML validation.

I will try that but do have a question before beginning: Where do I have to put that code?

You don't need to do that for the latest version. Just follow the installation instructions.
