Force default style on all users...

[Tolitz]

Greetings I tried to search for an answer to this question but after 4 search result pages, I didn't see an answer, so here's the question.

I have just finished a new style for my forums, but it is located at a test board, and I plan to import it into my live forum.

But most of my users are using a styleset that isn't the default, and I wanna make the new style the default style for my live forum.

My question is, what query should I enter in phpMyAdmin to force/reset everyone's style to the default one? Thanks in advance

UPDATE user SET styleid=x;

I think. Let me check it out (brb)

They may have to log out then back in though if they were ever cookied with a style.

That won't make new users use the style, however. For that, we just take the default style and swap its info with the new style.

I would like to know along these lines what query would I need to run to change users that are using style id #5 to style id #16?

Thanks for insight to this

UPDATE user SET styleid = 16 WHERE styleid = 5;

Old thread but relevant...

What query would be used to update the user's style to accept the forum default so I don't have to worry about manual updates when I change default themes? Thanks.

UPDATE user SET styleid = AA WHERE styleid = XX;

Replace the XX with the style number you want to change/migrate to style "AA" which is whatever number the "default" style is. (usually number "1")
