I need to change the template depends on the sessions, that means Once user logged in we need to change the template.
note: I need to achieve this by coding not from administrator.
any help?
Have you tried googling the subject?

I have solved my problem with assigning template manually through coding part.
I did by changing the function in includes/application.php
Function name is getTemplate(); This function returns the template name.
Its worked for me.
i don't think so that it is possible, cause Joomla is a CMS(Content Management System)
and it has its own rule to develop your site.
If you want that kind of feature then you have to leave to use CMS and have to develop dynamic website
EDIT according to #jprofitt, it is possible with some CSS tricks, just detect the login session of the user and apply that CSS but i think, for this you have to detect the session on the index.php file, that is your template file, i am not sure cause i never did that.

The front page of the website at www.violinschool.org is not showing up. I think it might be a conflict with a wordpress plugin called 'content views pro'.
I can't remove that plugin as it would destroy the two main pages I've created for our learning content. So I'm wondering if there is a way of replacing the front page of the wordpress theme instead.
Does that sound like a reasonable workaround, and do you have any idea how I'd go about doing it?
Thanks so much for your advice!
it looks like your problem comes from .preloader so i would recomend you to add small css edit to your page style files. try to add .preloader{display:none;}
Just like #Lööri said, the preloader is preventing the rest of the page from being shown, eventhough it has been loaded correctly.
Either try to set the class to display:none or remove the component completely, considering this might cause issues for your website in the future.
This problem caused by option Force JavaScript in <head> of the plugin Autoptimize.
Just simply uncheck that option to solve this issue.
I think is just hidden under the preloader class. That could be caused because your jquery library is clashing with something.
I am asking if is it possible do the following thing using Joomla
I have 2 different URL, something like: www.stupidname.com and www.seriousname.com
If the user open stupidname.com by his browser will open the website having a stupid template
If the user open seriusname.com by his browser will open the website having a serious template
The website and the content are the same...should only change the template according to the url open in the browser
Do you have some ideas about how to do this thing?
Thanks
Andrea
I've done this before making elements of a template conditional based on the domain name, and that can work well. I suppose you could extend the same logic to change the template.
Perhaps you could add a conditional to both template's index.php to change the template. Perhaps something like...
if ( substr_count( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], "silly") ) {
$GLOBALS["mainframe"]->setTemplate = "silly_template_name";
} else {
$GLOBALS["mainframe"]->setTemplate = "serious_template_name";
}
...I've not tested this, but I think in principle it should work fine, though it might depend on which Joomla version you have.
There are, as saji89 pointed out, plenty of good multi-site extensions and that'd be an ok solution too.
From my personal experience with Joomla I can advise you to use the component Virtual Domains (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/multiple-sites/7557) you can add the domains which you redirect to the main site where Joomla is installed and it this component you assign them the template you want.
I can confirm the functionality on Joomla 2.5 latest update with usage of around 5+ different Virtual Domains on one Joomla installation.
Some possible downsides i want to mention:
SEO links can get sometimes messy, you need to play with some SEO component and its settings
its better to use same structure and components for boths side its easier because otherwise the administration gets messy but its possible
the user which register on one website has automatically account on all of them because its one Joomla
My codeigniter app is multilingual and I want to redirect users to their pages, by checking IP address.
I should check it at the top of all pages (i know i can set a session or cookie, but i want to check it on all pages); before any views or other.
Where should i put my code (function)? on Startup file or Loader? or create an extension or plugin and load it on Startup? if it can be done by an extension or plugin, how can I create it? (i've searched, but didn't find a useful tutorial)
Thanks.
If you're using a main front controller you can put your code in there. But a better way to do it would be to use CodeIgniters built in functionality to extend the core - hooks!

Just select the point you want your script to be activated and take it from there.
I'm quite new to Drupal and want do some editing of the header. I want a custom toolbar to appear on every page. I've already created that toolbar in a file called toolbar.php. It has a layer which is fixed and will appear on top of every page.
How do I include the toolbar.php in the header template of drupal?
The toolbar refers to $user which is a global Drupal variable and I want to test toolbar.php before publishing it to the site. Is there anyway I can do that?

Dasith
Of the two methods above the first is easier if you understand the basic idea of html and CMS templates, the second will be easier if you are a programmer.
First thing to check is that you really need to do this! Can't you restyle one of the existing menus (Primary or secondary) to do this - will make your life (and anyone who works on the site in the future) a lot easier.
The other thing you can do is look into adding an output region, basically something where you put the php into a drupal friendly format and then effectively do a 'drupal print'. This is how the toolbar, search box etc are done. You still need to alter the templates as above.
Yes for sure. If you want to have the html produced by your function/file appear on every page of the site then you will need to over-ride the page.tpl.php file in the theme you are using and essentually add the html to that file.
To gain access to the $user variable, just declare it in your script.
global $user;
open page.tpl.php file in a code editor and save as page-front.tpl.php (with two dashes if you are using Drupal 7.. one dash with Drupal 6) and upload it to your theme's directory. Clear your cache by going to configuration->Performance->Clear All Cache. Then referesh the page. Now your homepage is using page-front.tpl.php as it's template file. Every page will need its own template file. The page machine name comes after the hyphen so the user page template uses page-user.tpl.php. You can edit it as you want. The proper way to really do this is to use hook_theme() to pass variables to the template file. One variable could be the html which creates your custom header.

Hey, I'm quite new to Drupal and am having some issues with implementing a node form on the front page of the site.
I want to have a really simple quick post form on the users front page when they are logged in, just a few fields and a submit button, no advanced options or anything.
Is there a really simple way to do this by placing some php in the front-page.tpl.php file?
I think what you are looking for is http://drupal.org/project/webformblock. (also requires the webform module)
Create a region on the front page and just put this block in it. You can set options in the block to only appear on the front page.
Or you could just invoke the block directly in the tpl.php file.
http://drupal.org/node/26502
Yes and no. This is not the drupal way of doing things- although you COULD make it work this way.
If you are looking for a simple solution, try a module like webform and put it on the front page. You can do this by either creating a page and setting it as the front page (under site information in the admin menu), or by creating a block, putting it in the 'content top' region of your theme, and in the configure block setting it only to display on (a special keyword that means frontpage).
Hope this helps!
Chris.
If your login goes to the /user page you can use the webformblock module (http://drupal.org/project/webformblock) to configure a Webform to only show up on the "user" page under site building > blocks > configure (next the the webform block). You can also check the option there to only show the block for authenticated users or another role of your choice.
You do not want to create a form without going through Drupal's form API, as you lose a lot of security features and there are many tools out there already that make it easy to generate and maintain forms through the Drupal interface. As the above answers suggest, webform is the Drupal way to create quick forms. And I think you will love the interface.
http://drupal.org/project/webform
Thanks for all your help guys. I tried the webformblock module and whilst it did fit the bill, it required me to create a new content type (maybe I wasn't using it right?).
In the end, after searching I found the Form Block module http://drupal.org/project/formblock which fitted my needs perfectly. It can be configured for existing content types really easily.
