Change theme when logged in

[nickelas]

I want to use a different theme when the user has logged in.
I found this old link that describes how to change the theme if the user is on a wii

So I guess you can check if (USER_ID) and then set $USER['theme']? Is it possible to do that in theme.php?

Is it possible to do that in theme.php?

Might be possible, but then the theme will not change immediately after login, but one page load later. Don't forget the else block so the theme will be switched back to your default theme after logout.

Thanks,
I put the code in the section

theme_html_picture

and it works, but only after visiting an intermediate page. So better to put it on the index-page since that is where you go after logging in. I tried it in

theme_display_album_list

but then nothing happens. Any hint on what can go wrong?

Code Select Expand

if (USER_ID){
$USER['theme'] = 'customtheme';
}

I suggest to put it 'directly' into your theme.php file (i.e. in no function). I haven't tested that, but it should work.

Thanks, appears to be working
