UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Resources and Customizing How Do I? Seperate (forced) Styles for each forum

My board didn't allow users to switch styles before upgrading to 7.6.0. We have separate, unique for each of the forums instead.

I don't remember how I set that up again. Anybody have a clue as to how I can do it? I removed the bit in the footer for changing styles, but now only the default style shows everywhere.

It seems as though youve imported the new styles and now given your users more options to choose from. upgrading to 7.6.0 does not automatically import any new styles for you. but there are instructions on how to do it manually. this sounds like what had happened.

If you dont want to use any of the styles you previously imported, you can disable them from the style editor, or delete them.

if you want certain forums to use a certain style, go in to each forum editor (in control panel > forums > forum detail > selected stylesheet) and choose the style you want it to use just for that single forum.

note, if you only have one style enabled within the style editor, all the style selection options on the user side will automatically be hidden. ie; "nothing to select from. nothing to show."

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain it right. I didn't import any of the new styles. I had 15 styles before. One for each of the 14 forums and one for the cfrm.

Before the upgrade, I removed the ability for anyone to switch styles, but each forum had a selected stylesheet with it's own logo and some minor differences like removing the side panels, etc. And it all worked out.

Now, only the default style (in this case the cfrm default one) shows for each forum even though I have selected a different style in the cp for each forum.

Which version of UBB.threads did you upgrade from?

7.5.8

If a user chooses their own style, it will carry over with them for all the forums.

But if they choose "Default Style" it will use the one you've set up for them to use as default. Including the ones you've setup for them as the "Default Stylesheet" forum setting.

Basically, "Default Style" means, "The style to use when none is specifically chosen."

To update all your users to use the default forum style, run this command from Control Panel » Database Tools | SQL Command


NOTE: If you are using a custom table prefix, you'll need to use that prefix, instead of "ubbt"

Thanks, but I get the following error -

updated my post to reflect the sql error

Perfect!

That worked. I appreciate your help and all the work you did in this update. Thank you!

You're very welcome. I enjoy working with this software

If you havent done so already, save the query so you can easily run it again if needed.
Give it a name such as, "Set all users to use forum Default Style" works. But it can be named anything thats descriptive for you.
