@Kirby can you add default variation for mobile and desktop per user?

Regarding the last update, where do I see users selected style?

 

[mastahg]

Search seems broken and returns all users regardless of the value searched for

Seeing / Changing the selected style is a standard XenForo feature when editing a user in ACP.

Should work in 1.1.0 Patch 1

The update changelog gave me the impression I can see the active style for each user

The update changelog gave me the impression I can see the active style for each user

without the add-on installed (and before this update)

i installed this plugin because I wanted to show the bright theme to the guests, but it didn't work. It still looks dark mode to visitors.

 

[hakyangler]

do you have any suggestions on this, I wonder @Kirby

 

[Kirby]

do you have any suggestions on this, I wonder @Kirby

Create a new style without osrent, set this as default, disable all other Add-ons and test in a fresh browser.

Does it work?

If it does there most likely is some kind of conflict with your style or Add-ons.

@Kirby I have the add on installed and I set the default variation to Light mode. But I login and it is defaulting to dark mode. I have my settings to use the system default so unsure what is going on.

Does this only affect visitors to the site and not those that have logged in?

 

[Kirby]

Does this only affect visitors to the site and not those that have logged in?

Strictly speaking: No (as a logged in user is still a visitor, so your statement "Does this only affect visitors to the site" is wrong).

This Add-on sets a default for those visitors that have not yet made their own choice (=guests without cookie).
A logged in user has already made a choice that is stored in his profile in the database.
It wouldn't make sense (or even work) to apply the default for logged in users.

Think about this scenario:

1. Someone visits your forum for the first time.
   His system is configured to prefer light but you have configured dark as default so he gets dark (without the Add-on he would get light)
2. The visitor doesn't like dark and switches to light
3. The visitor registers
4. The visitor closes this browser (which is configured to delete all cookies on close)
5. A few days later he comes back and again gets dark (as there are no cookies and you've configured dark as default)
6. The user is already somewhat annoyed about getting dark agai and logs in immediately, expecting to get his preference (light)

Would you still want your default applied in this case?
If this was done, the user would never be able to set their own preference.

What you could do (though I'd strongly advise not to do this as it might annoy users) is to update their preference:

[Elisabeth_K]

Update procedure? Should I uninstall first and reinstall or just copy the new files to my server replacing the existing?

Thanksl

 

[Kirby]

Update procedure?

Standard XenForo Add-on upgrade procedure:
Upload the files and run upgrade.
How exactly you do that depends on your setup /access, there are multiple ways to fo that.

 

[Elisabeth_K]

Got it thanks. I'm new at this and only have 2 add ons. This is the first time I've had to update one. It has been completed.
