Drop-down template sidebar

the drop down template selector side bar isn't working with Beta 3. Perhaps I should say erratically. Neither Firefox or IE6 could get it to go, it just reload the same theme. But when I came back from the administration page, it went to what I had selected.

Of course this may be a problem with the template chooser event plugin...

I think I had a similar problem, that the theme didnt change until I reloaded the page, even though it should load the new theme automatically.

Firefox and IE sometimes cache the CSS stylesheet (which they should do). If you change the theme, the CSS file will not be recognized by IE/Firefox as changed until you hit reload.

There's not much for us to do apart frmo disabling CSS caching, but that would suck!

i tried to solve this with brute force:

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">

works in ie, but firefox still chaching

so i named any css file of any used template different and modified css loading in index.tpl

Code: Select all

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="templates/bg/style_bg.css" />

now i get my themes switched.
