I am trying to setup a new theme for my site but have noticed that l cannot view this theme unless l make the hard-coded change.
Is it therefore possible to view the page using the new theme by calling it through the url such as:

http://www.mysite.com/?stage=Stage&theme=MyTheme

Thanks.

AFAIK the only way to enable a theme is to do

SSViewer::set_theme('my_theme');

in _config.php of your project folder.

Are there any other ways, anyone?

It would make great sense to be able to view a theme that you are working on without having to make it live as this means you need to have a separate install just to develop a theme for the same content of your site.
