#172850

Hi all!
I’m creating a website where the user is able to switch between 2 and more joomlart templates directly from the front-end.
The main problem is that the JA Slideshow module doesn’t switch to the appropriate skin profile.
The dirty solution is to describe the slideshow style inside the template css.
I think that the smarter and more elegant solution would be to have the module that automatically switch to the correct skin.
Would it be realizable?

After one hour of work I’ve found the solution.
Let’s see the code of mod_jaslideshow.php starting from line 119:
[PHP]if (!defined(‘_MODE_JASLIDESHOW2_ASSETS_’)) {
define(‘_MODE_JASLIDESHOW2_ASSETS_’, 1);
JHTML::stylesheet(‘modules/’ . $module->module . ‘/assets/themes/default/style.css’);
if (!empty($skin)) {
JHTML::stylesheet(‘modules/’ . $module->module . ‘/assets/themes/’ . $skin . ‘/style.css’);
JHTML::stylesheet(‘modules/’ . $module->module . ‘/assets/themes/’ . $skin . ‘/’ . $module->module . “.css”);
}

if (is_file(JPATH_SITE . DS . ‘templates’ . DS . $mainframe->getTemplate() . DS . ‘css’ . DS . $module->module . “.css”))
JHTML::stylesheet(‘templates/’ . $mainframe->getTemplate() . ‘/css/’ . $module->module . “.css”);

JHTML::script(‘modules/’ . $module->module . ‘/assets/script.js’);
}[/PHP]

So, if the $skin is empty we can use the skin assigned to the template currently in use. The new code is the following:
[PHP]if (!defined(‘_MODE_JASLIDESHOW2_ASSETS_’)) {
define(‘_MODE_JASLIDESHOW2_ASSETS_’, 1);
JHTML::stylesheet(‘modules/’ . $module->module . ‘/assets/themes/default/style.css’);
if (!empty($skin)) {
JHTML::stylesheet(‘modules/’ . $module->module . ‘/assets/themes/’ . $skin . ‘/style.css’);
JHTML::stylesheet(‘modules/’ . $module->module . ‘/assets/themes/’ . $skin . ‘/’ . $module->module . “.css”);
}
else {
JHTML::stylesheet(‘modules/’ . $module->module . ‘/assets/themes/’ . substr($mainframe->getTemplate(),3) . ‘/style.css’);
JHTML::stylesheet(‘modules/’ . $module->module . ‘/assets/themes/’ . substr($mainframe->getTemplate(),3) . ‘/’ . $module->module . “.css”);
}

if (is_file(JPATH_SITE . DS . ‘templates’ . DS . $mainframe->getTemplate() . DS . ‘css’ . DS . $module->module . “.css”))
JHTML::stylesheet(‘templates/’ . $mainframe->getTemplate() . ‘/css/’ . $module->module . “.css”);

JHTML::script(‘modules/’ . $module->module . ‘/assets/script.js’);
}[/PHP]

Then It’s sufficient to set the skin parameter to “default” and the slideshow style will change according to the template in use.
I think that this modify can be implemented in future releases. Let me know! 🙂
