Template Chooser - make choice permanent

poisontheused · 15.03.2005, 05:52

I done a search of the forums, and found similar questions but no answers, does anyone know how you can make the template chooser set the chosen template as a permanent template.

At the moment as a registered user, if i select a template using the template chooser module, it retains that template for a while, even if i close the browser and come back.. but it's never permanent after a short while it reverts back to the default template.

I'm using mambo 4.5.2.

Does anyone know how to extend the cookie lifetime so it keeps the chosen template permanent??

Thanks for your time, any ideas would be great.

includes\mambo.php(545):

PHP Code:

  // TemplateChooser Start

            $mos_user_template = mosGetParam( $_COOKIE, 'mos_user_template', '' );

            $mos_change_template = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'mos_change_template', $mos_user_template );

            if ($mos_change_template) {

                // check that template exists in case it was deleted

                if (file_exists( "$mosConfig_absolute_path/templates/$mos_change_template/index.php" )) {

                    $lifetime = 60*10;

                    $cur_template = $mos_change_template;

                    setcookie( "mos_user_template", "$mos_change_template", time()+$lifetime);

                } else {

                    setcookie( "mos_user_template", "", time()-3600 );

                }

            }

            // TemplateChooser End
