Action: switch theme

I'd rather like to see this in http://drupal.org/project/switchtheme

Hi,

I would like to change the theme after the user login in.

I installed the lastest version of ThemeKey(6.x-1.2-beta1) and Rules(6.x-1.1).

By Rules, I can trigger user login but I cannot find the action to switch Theme. Do I need to add PHP code (for the action) myself?

Thank you.

@hosais: You can easily implement that feature using ThemeKey. Just create a Theme Switching Rule like this:

Property: user:uid
Operator: >
Value: 0

hm, I'm not sure it's a good idea to implement this directly as action, as this would only work when executed soon enough - but for most events it would be already too late. Perhaps best we can implement this feature by allowing actions to work only on a whitelist of events. Other opinions?

@#6,fago:

That's why ThemeKey uses hook_init().

Please have a look at #647716: Integrate with Rules.
It seems to me that it's not a good idea to integrate both modules.

Is there a way to load a particular CSS file in a theme? I have 1 theme with 7 CSS files depending on what path you are in. I don't want to load up a whole new theme, as it is just CSS additions to the base stylesheet.

@stripped your speech,

You can conditionally load the css in hook_init() based on the path (use menu_get_item() to get the path).

In this module? Or my own?

@stripped your speech ,
Your own custom module

I think it is now possible to whitelist actions to specific events (fago's concern in #6). Setting back to active and updating version.
