SkinView 1.0

[Wormopolis]

Browser Tested: IE and FF
placement: global header (very top) and global footer.

This code will create a panel that allows you to make runtime changes to your forum without having to go back and forth to the skin editor, saving, then reloading the site to see the changes.

The panel is toggled on and off via a link in the admin panel:


if you have the variable to have everyone see it, it will be on all the time (until I figure out a good place to put a link to toggle.)

v 1.0 Basic Skin elements inlcuding background image, logo, and all board colors. does NOT currently support gradiants (working on it). Does NOT export your choices to the skin editor so you have to write down what inputs you want to keep (working on that as well).

Things to keep in mind:
If you have additional CSS in your header/footer that affects your board, this code will not change it. If you have a background image added via headers, this code will not see it in the CSS, so you wont be able to change it (next version). If you have a welcome table remodel, there is a CHANCE this code will not be able to change your logo image... possible future versions will account for popular remodels, but the fact there are so many out there it will be impossible to cover them all.

There is a chance some bugs exist that I didnt find, but my beta testers reported everything they found and I corrected it. If you have issues with this, feel free to make a post on PBS or WormoCodes. If you have suggestions for future versions, make a post on WormoCodes.

All upgrades to this code will be posted on www.wormocodes.com

and here we go:
