I would like to set up my configuration so users can view different Drupal themes as just a demo. Since every theme should be running the same database how do I set it up so when they click on the link they are just viewing the database as another theme automatically?

investigate the switchtheme.module

I just looked at that and it doesn't seem to do what I want. I also looked at the multisite set up and that looks like it will work.

I'm a bit confused though after messing around with how exactly I'm going to get this to work.

I have my main domain www.example.com and off of that site I want users to be able to look at different themes.

I set up the subdomain demo6.example.com with its own database, this is the database I want to share among all the themes.

So now in the sites/ folder I am trying to figure out how to name the following folders to get this right... the final output I would like would be this

www.example.com/demo6/nameoftheme

Thanks

based on your op, VM is correct, http://drupal.org/project/switchtheme is the best way to do this, not multisites (which are not meant to use the same db).

Out of the box the module was presenting itself as just being a block allowing users to change themes, it wasn't until I went into the documentation and saw this...

http://www.example.com/foo/bar?theme=exampletheme

That right there is all that I needed, no block, nothing else.

Thanks
