XF 2.2 Allow the member to choose the forum display style?

[Ludachris]

Anyone know of a way to allow the member to choose this on the front end?



Have the Preview is nice for newer members but the older members like the condensed simplicity of the Standard list. Would be great to appease both and give the user the ability to choose which display they like.

One way would be to create a custom user field and use a conditional statement coupled with a template edit.

I've come across that solution before but have yet to try it out. Maybe I'll use this situation to test it... with that said, wouldn't that set the layout for ALL forums? As opposed to just certain forums?

You would craft the conditional statement as required.
