Grab a style from the URL
This is beyond my scope so calling all the scripters out there.
If I have a URL call similar to this:-
http://demo.com/optimize/index.php?style=dark-blue
is there a way of grabbing the end bit ie. dark-blue or indeed anything that follows the = sign and popping it into a style tag like so:-
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="<txp:site_url />site-design/styles/dark-blue.css" />
I could do with some help with this one. ;)

Re: Grab a style from the URL
Use adi_gps to grab the value of style and assign it to a variable.
Code is topiary

Re: Grab a style from the URL
To mix it more, PHP:
<txp:php>
echo gps('style');
</txp:php>If you already using rah_function:
<txp:rah_function call="gps" name="style" />Offline
Re: Grab a style from the URL
Thanks Jeff and Jukka. Both methods work but only to a limited degree and both to the same degree. When I am viewing a demo theme the initial colour switch works, but once I start to navigate through the sections of the demo theme the colour switch is lost because the ?style=dark-blue is removed. The URLs revert to what you would normally get as you navigate a site. Somehow I need to retain the switch until such time as another colour-variation is picked. Does that make sense? I can point you at the demo site if it helps.

Re: Grab a style from the URL
Perhaps you can achieve the same with chs_cookie. Here’s a chs_cookie version with more complete help. As Stef noted recently, the plugin could do with some general love but it works.

Thanks Jakob. I’ve installed it into one of the themes but it is getting late here so I shall have a good look at it tomorrow and report back.
