Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/26302 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/26302 Project: Drupal Version: 4.6.0 Component: system.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Torenware Reported by: Torenware Updated by: Bèr Kessels Status: patch I think we should simply rename the "enabled" into "selecatble". Or any better term. For the only thing tha checkbox does is enable it for users to select. It does not enable or disable the theme at all.

From the forum thread How To Prevent Users From Changing The Theme. I asked:

" I'm working on a module that uses organic groups. I want to allow different groups to choose different themes, but I don't want individual users to have that capability. I'm assuming that this is easy to do, but I can't find a setting. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks, Rob " At sepeck's suggestion, I'm submitting a patch to do this. It's against 4.6.0, and modifies theme.inc and system.module. It creates a variable 'configurable_user_themes' which defaults to "enabled" (4.6.0's current behavior), and if activated, makes system.module remove the UI for selected a theme, and also causes theme.inc to ignore any setting for $user->theme if it exists. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ July 4, 2005 - 02:54 : Torenware Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/add-user-themable-option_0.diff (1.86 KB) Didn't set this to "patch" initially, so I'm including the patch again. Not sure what the procedure is just yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ July 4, 2005 - 06:07 : TDobes -1 -- sorry, but I feel that we should use a different method for this sort of thing. Any theme that is checked in the admin-> themes screen should be selectable by users. Modules should get their list of available themes from list_themes(), which provides a list of all available themes, not just those that are selected for use by users.
