Userthemes Revisited

I’ve tinkered with the original a bit, again.

Adds ability for enabled users to move system themes to their file blogs.dir/id/themes/ folder and edit their themes if you allow access to the theme editor. Access Managed via Site Admin.

Practical uses for me: I can edit themes as I am accustomed in my single WP install. I can switch between specialty themes without logging in as a SiteAdmin.

If a particular user wants a unique/rare/premium theme, I can upload it to their blogs.dir/blog_id/themes folder and only they can ever see/edit/activate it.

Warning: enabling the theme editor is a huge risk/responsibility.

This plugin does not magically enable or secure it. You’ll have to consider that yourself.

Install: drop into mu-plugins folder and visit the new SiteAdmin–>Userthemes menu.

July 15/08 Tweaked version looks more like WPMU2.6. “Guessing” the Screenshot-dir is buggy in 2.5 and lower. Minor edits needed to use this in a version less than 2.6.(Any version not defining WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CONTENT_URL)

July 30/08 Add SiteOptions to management page:

  • Maximum Userthemes per blog.
  • hide original Themes menu.
  • choose number items per page.
