Introduction

Accessibility, Templating

This very simple module with its plugin allows you to switch default style in the fromtend, choosing from a list of available template styles.


Note: This module is Content-Security-Policy (CSP) compliant.

It may me used for demo/testing purpose, and, also, for visually impaired people.

The user picks up default template style from a list as shown on the right side of this page, then, CG Style plugin displays all pages using this new default template style.

While testing this module, please note that my alternative template is not that beautiful, it's just there for testing purpose.....

The user choice is stored in a cookie. Its duration is set in "duration" parameter (in days). If you set it up to 0 value, cookie's duration will be current session.

Ce module, très simple, permet de changer le style du template directement sur le site (frontend).

Il peut être utiliser pour des démonstrations, pour tester de nouveaux templates, mais aussi pour les personnes malvoyantes.

L'utilisateur choisit le style de template qu'il souhaite utiliser et le plugin CG Style assure ensuite la mise à jour de l'affichage selon le choix.

Dans la colonne de droite, vous avez un exemple de ce module. Notez que le template alternatif n'est pas spécialement plus beau, il est là juste pour des besoins de démontration....

Le choix de l'utilisateur est stocké dans un cookie de son explorateur.

Le paramètre "durée de vie" permet de définir pendant combien de temps (en jours) le template choisi restera actif, la valeur 0 équivalant à la durée de la session en cours.

Version 1.0.17 : secure cookie
Version 1.0.16 : autoswitch
Version 1.0.13 : Pb avec le cache, option "pas de prévisulation" incorrecte
Version 1.0.11 : compatibilité Joomla 4.0
Version 1.0.10 : Compatible CSP
Version 1.0.9: optimisation du code
Version 1.0.8: adaptation facile de l'affichage via le CSS

Functionality
Simple to install and setup, one module and one plugin. You have to enable both before use.
Ease of use
Out of the box, one step installation, I had no issues and only needed to make a few selection in the module to be able to switch templates.
Support
I have not required technical or purchase support, so cannot offer any constructive comment on the subject of support quality assurance.
Documentation
Also not required, as it worked immediately on Joomla 3.9.12 without issues.
I used this to: Frontend selection between templates styles. One drawback I have is using multiple sub-templates on a large website, It would be useful to pre-select sets of templates in the switcher plugin. Giving each set a frontend selectable title.

Perfect extension!

Documentation
easy to follow. not a big learning curve (for me).
I used this to: HazAlerts_com_au - a disaster notice/management portal - switching between light & dark mode(s), I hate white screens of death for the retina at night. will look at implementing further for wide/narrow desktop port view.
