Javascript Variables - Gallery Theme

jerryr

Hi -
I reviewed the DOM using FF to see if there was a variable set which captured the theme applied to a specific gallery.
I did not see the information stand out.
Therefore, my questions are:
1. Is there JS variable containing the galleries theme name ?
2. If not, is there a way in capturing that information within a variable ?

thanks - jerryr

As far as I know, the only ways to discern what theme is being used on any given page are:

1. Using javascript, iterate over the link tags to find the one that references the theme CSS file and then parse out the theme number from that filename. For example, this line:
   
   <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" id="pickedTheme" href="http/cdn.smugmug.com/include/css/gecko/1.9/win/theme_1393-20081030212042-stretch.css" />
   
   is the theme from my homepage and 1393 is the theme number.
2. If you are looking only for the presence of a particular theme, you could use javascript to detect the presence of certain key style rules (like a particular background or background image or certain text colors).

Hi -
Thank you for the recommendation.
I am going to set and pass a specific variable via the footer area with the link (already doing it, just need to add a new variable).

idk - maybe an enhancement for a future release to have the theme via a javascript variable.

thanks again - jerryr

May I ask why you need to know the theme in javascript? Perhaps there is a different way to solve your problem.
