Allowing certain user groups to change theme?

[Potku]

I tried to search for this (and in one topic in phpBB.com it was asked but not answered), but my google-fu is weak...

So, if we have two themes and we would like to offer certain user groups -- but not all -- to choose freely between them, how would we set that up in ACP?

Thanks

I was told this would need a MOD (I was afraid of that...). If anyone could tell us who to approach, we would appreciate it


Yeah, phpBB.com would be the obvious option, but that site is so busy that a request like that from an unknown person such as myself would probably be buried under the enormous amount of other, possibly more interesting requests

A simple groups permissions mod ,But how many styles do you want to allow per groups? if just two styles are installed ,this mod could be wriiten in a matter of hours ...

We are looking to sport only two styles, and certain groups could then choose between the two. Good to know it could be done But who would undertake the task at hand?

If anyone could bother to code such a MOD, it would really be a big help to us

groups_style_permissions.zip

done.

Dude...

Simple to install, seems to work perfectly. Since I am a dummy as far as php goes, I have no idea how much work was required to figure it all out, but I am sincerely grateful for this. This MOD isn't just for fun, it actually serves an important service. Thank you so much, Steve

No prob took about 20 mins to put it together and install very simple permission's/auth's mod Just let me know if you need it expanded for eg: 3 styles allow group1 to use 3 styles and the other gorup2 styles.

Steve, do you think this could be an EXT now?

Steve, I hate to bother you, but have you figured out a manageable way to code this for 3.1?
