Change template using cookie, then change back !?

Hello,

I've followed this tutorial here :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl … q9rJQGR8#!

And it works great !
Now I would like to setup a kind of template switcher between 2 templates.
So I've declared 2 new rules to reverse the process of the 2 first one, but it does not work for me.

I've declared on the first rule of first assignment into a variable A :
url contains : fullscreen=1
then on second rule, the large template is assigned.

Then I've declared a new rule :
fullscreen=0 , declared into variable B,
then a second rule, the medium template is assigned.

In fact, I guess there's a conflict with the 2 previous rules declared, as the 2 last ruels are not applied.

Could you help please ?

Thanks !

Re: Change template using cookie, then change back !?

Ok, seems to work, but ONLY if the default template is different from the 2 I need to switch between.
In fact, it just work once ! I may swith to large, then medium, then, it's over, I can't switch templates anymore...

My problem is I have fist the "medium" template, then I switch with an url to the 2nd (the large one) then, using a url to switch back it does not work for me. sad

Using J! 2.5.9 , Chameleon 2.30b

Thanks !

Re: Change template using cookie, then change back !?

Hi,

I have a feeling it's probably based on the order of the rules, and about which session variables are set. When you set session variable A, then set B, then A is still set unless you unset it. So when you set B then you should ALSO unset A. Could that be the problem?

A good way to track this sort of issue down is to use the Options button in Chameleon, and set the Debug mode to ON. Then when you view a page you see the list of steps that Chameleon takes through the rules. This should help you see what's going on.

Best regards,
Stephen
