Im moving users to a new nuke with fewer themes and want to know a quick and dirty way of overriding their theme selection.

Run it in phpmyadmin,

UPDATE nuke_users SET theme='';
OPTIMIZE TABLE nuke_users;

hey telli, if i ran that code in phpadmin would it lock the theme to the admin theme selection? meaning only the theme that is chosen by admin will be available disabling users choice to themes?

Not to speak for Telli, but I think this would only cause every member's theme to change to the theme chosen in the admin => preferences portion of the site. If you still have more than one theme, members will still be able to change themes by going into their account and changing their theme there.

I only know of two ways other than using a "your_account" addon to fix this after you run the database update.

1. Open modules/Your_Account/navbar.php and look for the following line of text and comment it out:

if ($thmcount > 1) {
   $menuimg = menuimg("themes.gif");
   echo "<td width=\"10%\"><font class=\"content\">"
       ."<center><a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=chgtheme\"><img src=\"$menuimg\" border=\"0\" alt=\""._SELECTTHETHEME."\" title=\""._SELECTTHETHEME."\"></a><br>"
       ."<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=chgtheme\">"._SELECTTHETHEME."</a>"
       ."</center></form></font></td>";
    }


Change to:

//if ($thmcount > 1) {
   //$menuimg = menuimg("themes.gif");
   //echo "<td width=\"10%\"><font class=\"content\">"
   //    ."<center><a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=chgtheme\"><img src=\"$menuimg\" border=\"0\" alt=\""._SELECTTHETHEME."\" title=\""._SELECTTHETHEME."\"></a><br>"
   //    ."<a href=\"modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=chgtheme\">"._SELECTTHETHEME."</a>"
   //    ."</center></form></font></td>";
    //}


OR

2. Change the modules/Your_Account/navbar.php so the theme count is equal to the number of themes you have on your site, so the themes icon won't show up. In other words if you have 6 different themes installed, change the number to 6. Just remember if you add themes, you will need to update the number. This lets you have numerous themes, but your members to only use the default theme the admin uses. Example below:

if ($thmcount > 1) {
   $menuimg = menuimg("themes.gif");


Change to:

if ($thmcount > 6) {
   $menuimg = menuimg("themes.gif");
