Skin Chooser button has been disappeared?????? help

[Arthur]

Guys as you can see i have lost the skin chooser button
I have installed two themes but can't be able to show that skins in my forum and there are some confusion regarding changing the styles. kindly make it clear

1) If i copy my new style into "/images/styles" directory then will it be accessible to XML file of skin? suppose i wanna install warrior skin so i copy that skin to my style folder as i have already one theme installed in that folder so if i copy warrior in that particular folder, will it be automaticelly link to the XML file which will be loaded in admin cp?

2) What should be uploaded first. "XML" file or the skin folder?

3) Please tell me the procedure, if i want to add 10 skins on my forum....

if possible kindly explain through screen shot. I have already done the basic steps of changing the new style but in vain.. already select the "user select theme" to yes but still can't be able to show that button

Thank you so much for your cooperation

see the screenshots

Revert the footer template if you don't have any modification or don't bother to do again.

else here's the php code..add it to the appropriate place in the footer template.

<if condition="$show['quickchooser']">
        
            <select name="styleid" class="styled" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">
                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_style_chooser]">
                    $quickchooserbits
                </optgroup>
            </select>
        
    </if>

<if condition="$show['quickchooser']">
        <td class="vb_footer" height="38" valign="middle">
            <select name="styleid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">
                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_style_chooser]">
                    $quickchooserbits
                </optgroup>
            </select>
        </td>
    </if>
    <if condition="$show['languagechooser']">
        <td class="vb_footer" height="38" valign="middle">
            <select name="langid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'lang')">
                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_language_chooser]">
                    $languagechooserbits
                </optgroup>
            </select>
        </td>
    </if> 

You need to have that code in your footer.

You will need to :
Select your template - Click Edit templates - Select "Footer" template. Press edit :

And see if you have that code.

You need to upload image folder of the skin first, and after that .xml file.

here is my footer code... kindly edit that code with yours one....

More to the point, have you actually enabled it so users can see the choice of styles?

yup man, in both skins i have enabled that option but still not working

[XAKEP]

Go to your admin panel Vbulletin Options > Style & Language Settings > Allow Users To Change Styles

Select Yes and save

[Palooo 2009]

Your footer is perfect. Just do what XAKEP said.
