I'm by no means any sort of expert when it come to coding or php but I am trying to implement a drop down box in the cms on Root.content.main that will allow the user to set the theme for the page.

I could but completely off but this is the code I have come up with so far... as now I getting a parse error on line "SSViewer::set_theme('$Theme');"

---------------------------
<?php

class Page extends SiteTree {

static $db = array(
'Theme' => "Enum('higherground,blackcandy','higherground')"
);

static $has_one = array(
);

function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new DropdownField(
'Theme',
'Select A Theme:',
singleton('Page')->dbObject('Theme')->enumValues()
));
return $fields;}
}

class Page_Controller extends ContentController {

function init() {

switch($this->URLSegment) {

SSViewer::set_theme('$Theme');
break;
}

parent::init();

Requirements::themedCSS("layout");
Requirements::themedCSS("typography");
Requirements::themedCSS("form");

}

}

?>

P.S. LOVE SilveStripe!!!

I tried what you suggested and I still got a parse error on the same line. Just for kicks I ran the code below and it worked as anticipated. Which would lead me to believe it is definitely in the commented function... but I don't have any idea how to fix it...

Tried what you suggested with no luck... I tried it with no quot, single quote, double quotes, with and without the swith $URLsegment... nothing

I also tried removing the theme call in the _config file but that did not help

I was able to build and seemingly select the theme in the CMS but the pages would not render stating an error in SSVeiwer.php on line 151

Tried what you suggested and I am still getting errors. Again the build is going well but when the page tries to render i get errors... I also see the same errors if I try to access the admin page ... The error is saying that it can not find the template Page.ss... Almost seems like it is looking for the for the .ss files before the theme is set??
