Hi,
I was just wondering whether it is possible to change the theme programatically depending on who the current logged in user is? Can someone tell me how to do this.
Thanks

Hi John,
I'm not sure about 'programmatically' but if you enable user themes in Site Admin > Appearance > Themes > Theme Settings, each user can then set a theme on their profile page. You can limit the choice of themes by creating a list on the theme settings page as well.

Hi,
I've never tried it but there is a 'theme' field in the 'mdl-user' table. You could probably try and set a theme there (with PHPmyAdmin) to see if it works. Just a thought.

Hi,
This can be set in the students profile by the administrator, if this option is enabled in Theme settings, so no need to manually change the Database.

I don't think you can control this in the Moodle UI, but you can control it in your config.php file. If you look in config-dist.php, which lists all the things you can set in config.php, it is documented there. (Search for $CFG->themeorder).

Did a solution get found for this.
I too want a theme automatically selected based on the user that has logged into the system.

Read the whole of this discussion. Admins can set a theme for a Student in the student's profile. However these themes can be overridden if course themes have been set too. To make the User theme dominate this action you would also need to add some php markup into your Moodle site's config.php.
Read Tim's comment above.

Thanks a lot. This thread helped me a lot.
I'm facing a challenge: I need that every new user starts using moodle with an especific theme.
In other words:
1 - a theme for Admin and non logged users
2 - 1 theme for every looged users (except for admin)
