Does anyone know how to enable the option to allow users to select from whatever styles are installed?

I installed a style quite some time ago, and I am pretty sure that I commented out some code to remove the option to allow users to choose a style.  Now I want to add that back, but I can't figure out what to change.  As I said, I think I edited some code, but I'm not sure.  I've looked for options within phpbb config to enable/disable the "style selection" option, but I can't find anything.  There is an option to "Override user style: Replaces users style with the default" but I have that set to "no" which I interpret to mean that the user can apply their own style.

I've asked on the phpbb forum, but they are of much less help than LF Smile

To search for changes you have made, I suggest you use winmerge. Compare your phpbb folder with an unmodified phpbb installation. Winmerge can compare directories and files. Once you narrow down modified files, look within the modified files.

hi Thu... That winmerge is a great little program.  Thanks for the suggestion.  After spending a few minutes with that, it seems my memory is misleading me.  I could not find any change that would enable/disable a dropdown style picker in phpbb, but I did find two mods that will provide the capability I was looking for:

http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/585
http://www.ktauber.com/phpBB2mods/change_style/

I implemented the first one: http://rml3.com/forum/index.php

It seems to work pretty well, though it looks a little clunky.   Perhaps later I will go back and try the other one.

thanks again for your suggestion.

You're welcome. I'm glad it helped.

Winmerge is second to Dreamweaver in my web dev tools. Smile

This may be old news, but on the main configuration page there's a yes/no option labeled

Override user style
Replaces users style with the default

I believe set to No allows style changes.

I did have the 'no' option selected and users could not choose a style, so that wasn't it.  I did a lot of searching on the phpbb forum, and I couldn't find anything about having the ability to select styles other than through the use of the mods.  I am curious though if there are other ways.
