I've got a pretty popular WordPress theme that has a template switcher (basically just changes the stylesheet assigned to the theme for a completely different look and stores this as setting in the db).
The way I do this is that I have a "styles" directory under my theme folder and inside of that, I have a single folder for every one of my templates that work with the theme.
Inside each of these folders is a stylesheet, along with any images the template needs.
I'd like to create an uploader in my theme options panel that allows one to select a zip file from their PC and install a new template to the theme.
Basically, I suppose I'm just looking for an upload routine that can take a zip file, extract it and place it in my theme's style folder. If there is already a folder by the same name, I'd like the routine to prompt for overwrite or rename.
Any ideas?
This appears to be the most promising thus far. I just need some tips on how to get this integrated with an file > uploader widget.
// create object
$zip = new ZipArchive() ;
// open archive
if ($zip->open(‘archive. zip’) !== TRUE) {
die (‘Could not open archive’);
}
// extract contents to destination directory
$zip->extractTo(‘/ tmp/extracted/ ‘);
// close archive
// print success message
$zip->close();
echo ‘Archive extracted to directory’;
