I want to get multiple sites running on one Drupal installation, to get communities that are each bent towards a different aspect of the online community. To achieve this, I need to do a little tricking around with the way themes work.

First: How do I set up a code at the end of a page that will automatically switch a user's theme, similar to Drupal Garden? That way, a certain web URL can link to a page with a tag like this, so that users entering from one direction will get the theme that their site wants to use. Also: am I correct in assuming that once this code works, it will last even when the user goes to other pages?

Second: I need to make blocks that will only show up in one theme. Is it possible to make blocks per theme, rather than per node?

Thanks!

What do the individual blocks settings do? If I change things on one of them, it changes on all of them. Help! >_>

Is there a problem with running a multisites installation? Or does that not meet your needs?

No, it doesn't. I need to run it on a fairly limited server size, one server only, and keep all the users integrated. I thought it was possible to cstomize blocks (hence multiple options) but that doesn't work well, either...

Any help?

This is kinda annoying. I've installed some new themes, and the individual blocks settings stay the same. Ugh...

In other news: ANYBODY know the answer to this?

Here's what I need, in a nice (small) list...

1) A little tag at the end of a URL that changes themes, like Drupal's Theme Garden.

2) A way to change block layouts in each theme.

One more bump and I'll add this as support request to Drupal CVS, since I'm not getting any responses here.
