Set style with url ?

[Trover]

I'm not sure if this the right forum to be posting under as I'm not sure if this would be an add-on request or not. Anyhow, something that would be really cool for my site would be the ability to set the style of a page with a url. This way multiple styles can be seen without changing any user preferences.

ex.

domain.com/forums/threads/thread.1/style1

There are style URLs:

http://xenforo.com/community/misc/style

But it requires a token (or asks for confirmation in the absence of a token) because of...

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/styleid-urls-require-token.8242/

hm. maybe I should rephrase what I said earlier.

domain.com/forums/threads/thread.1/style1
domain.com/forums/threads/thread.1/style2
domain.com/forums/threads/thread.1/style3
domain.com/forums/threads/thread.1/style4

or

domain.com/forums/threads/thread.1/

would all point to the same thread, but each would be displayed with a different style while

domain.com/forums/threads/thread.1/

would show the default style of the forum / use the users preferences.

any idea how to achieve something like this ? I'm wanting to be able to link to different styles with the same content.

Oh, that requires an addon.

Extend the thread controller to add the style check to thread pages. Or maybe do similar to this addon, simply modifying the existing listener to check for the styleid param:
