multith-php
Multi-theme support on your websites
(This script has been written in ~1 hour, as a challenge.)
Do you want to test new themes on some users? Do you want to create new themes in 2 seconds? This PHP script is perfect for you! Multith is able to load theme from a database and apply it to the page.
How does it work? (MySQL version)
It's simple: in a database, there is projects. For each project, there is themes that can be called whatever you want (ex.: v1, v2, v3, etc.). A default theme is set in a table, so that users that don't have a custom token will get the default theme choosed by the server administrator. You can add stylesheets and javascript scripts simply by adding them in the appropriate column of the 'multith_themes' table. Just don't forget to separate your links by ";" so that the script will know that it's a new resource to get!
Do you want to enable or disable a theme? No problem! Just change the column 'enable' to the appropriate value.
How to add a token with a custom theme (MySQL version)
Simply add a new row in the 'multith_tokens' table. Set the project column to your project name, the theme column to the theme you want the token to use, and add a name to the token! After inserting the row in the table, every user with the cookie 'theme' containing the token you just set will have the theme you selected.
How to initiate it?
- You need to create the database. To do so, create a database with the name you want (default is multith), then import the .sql included in
this repository;
- Fill any informations you want in the database;
- Enter the credentials to access the database in the file 'multith-php-master/multith/Multith.php';
- Initiate the PHP script on your website like so:
require_once('multith-php-master/autoload.php'); # The path to the autoloader of the plugin
$multith->Initiate('{PROJECT NAME}', '{THEME YOU WANT} (OPTIONAL)');You are good to go!
