There are times when you want to impress your visitors by displaying a random theme when they visit pages on your website. This method does not affect members of your website who have already selected their default theme.

Example:
Random PHP Nuke themes

Files to edit:
mainfile.php

Steps :
1. This is actually a very easy tutorial. First open mainfile.php and search for the function get_theme() . This function as some of you know controls which theme is displayed.
We are looking for the following codes:

$ThemeSel = $Default_Theme; } return($ThemeSel);

The main part we are concerned with is the following :

$ThemeSel = $Default_Theme;

We will now replace the above line with the following:

$wsgettheme =opendir('themes/'); $wsthm = ''; while ($file = readdir($wsgettheme)) { if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file !="index.html" && $file !="" && $file !="index.htm") { $wsthm .= "$file,"; } } $thethemes = explode(",", $wsthm); $numthemes = count($thethemes)-1; $wnumber = rand(1, $numthemes); $wstheme = "$thethemes[$wnumber]"; $ThemeSel = $wstheme; closedir($wsgettheme);

Now to explain the above code. The script opens the themes folder and gets a list of all the available themes. It then gets a random theme and display it to the visitor.

That's it! Enjoy and please Back Up as usual before making any major changes.
