I'm not sure how to do this with 1.5. If you figure it out, please let me know. If I figure it out, I will post it here. Thanks for visiting!

I do not know if this works in 1.5. I'll have to try it out. - Cory Thu, 10 May 2007 22:51:25 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/33/6/#comment-322 does this work with v 1.5? - ken Thu, 10 May 2007 18:04:46 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/33/6/#comment-130 Cory, Thanks for this nice tip. I knew it could be done via changing the URL but looking at it again, I've just realized a quick way to change templates for my users from the front end using text links only! e.g. Standard version (this is default template) Lite version (this has most images etc removed, like a mobile version) - mozami.net Sun, 31 Dec 2006 05:49:48 +0100
