TEMPLATE SWITCHER
this component and plugin allow the site Administrator to decide which template to display to an authenticated user or group.
Other template choosers are for the end user to select a template in the front end.
This component is version 1.0.0.1 and there are many enhancements planned for future releases!
1) Must install both the component AND the plugin.
2) It uses cookies, so your browser must be able to accept cookies.
3) Make sure the Plugin is enabled (step 1 in component)
4) Using the Parameters button in the top right of the component, ensure the component is enabled. Also choose to change template by Group or User. If you want to change templates by user, "user" must be selected or it will not work.
5) Make sure Users and Groups tables are synchronized with Template Switcher tables. This means any time you add new users or groups, you can hit the "synchronize" button again so that you can get the User-Template selection for them. It will not remove your settings for existing users, only add the new ones and remove non-existing users from the list.
