XF 1.2 Allow more usergroups to view hidden styles without making them admin

[Autonamus]

Title says it all really,

I am looking to make an offline style available to more usergroups than just being an admin as I have a quite a few people I'd like to make able to see it without making them all admin or making it public just yet.

Give them a direct link to the style changer.

That will change you to the fixed width style.

Would that work for styles that are set to NOT Allow user selection?

Unfortunately no. Changing this would probably require code modifications.

I didn't think it would, Alright, I will have a root around and see what I can do!

Thanks!

Did that change, Mike? I could have sworn it was always settable via URL even if user selection was disabled.

I'm searching this topic tonight and the answer to the above question is yes, yes it was.

For anybody else coming across this thread looking for the same topic, as of writing this at the moment I haven't come across yet any code mods or add-ons to allow users to select disabled styles.
