Bluemarine - CSS Style Switching

One way you might accomplish this is to set up 5 different drupal sites, each in their own directory. <ignore>Then set them up to share the same database with the exception of the "variable" table, which contains the information to tell drupal what the default theme is. Alternatively, you could hack the 'includes/theme.inc' file in each of the 5 sites to force it to load a particular theme instead of getting the theme info from the database. You can find where to do this in the code by searching for 'variable_get('theme_default') in the theme.inc module.</ignore>

Then, just have each of the secondary links on each of the 5 sites point to the appropriate drupal directory.

I can't think of a better way. Hopefully someone else can. Good luck!

OOPS, WAIT: If you are making the changes to the same theme in each of the drupal sites, then you don't have to worry about isolating the "variable" database table or hacking theme.inc. So never mind that stuff.

IE: for each of them have a subdirectory under bluemarine

so you have the default style :
themes/bluemarine/style.css

and then :

themes/bluemarine/red/style.css
themes/bluemarine/green/style.css
themes/bluemarine/orange/style.css

Then, in your conf.php file , you have a section that goes :

if ($_GET['theme']) {
 $_SESSION['session_theme'] = $_GET['theme'];
}

if ($_SESSION['session_theme']) {
  $GLOBALS['custom_theme'] = $_SESSION['session_theme'];
}

Then you just link to ?theme=bluemarine , ?theme=bluemarine/red .. etc

The drupal theme garden uses this method (http://webschuur.drupaldevs.org)
