The template chooser for Joomla! (like the one used on this site) is a great tool for web designers, and even for web site owners.

You can use it to:

• show new and potential clients different looks they can choose from for their new site
• allow web site visitors to choose the look they like to browse your site with (this does mean that you will have to set up every template with your site info)

You can download the Tempate Chooser for Joomla! 1.5 at Ulti Joomla. They have some other great tools as well as templates available.

Note:  When you install the template chooser on a Joomla! 1.5 site you need to change a line in the file /includes/application.php. In the function getTemplate, you'll find the line:

if ($template = $this->get('setTemplate')) {

Replace this line with following line:

After this, the Template Chooser should be able to change templates.
