Bootswatch Theme stored locally in session cookies

[mobone]

This is more of a request than an issue. Wondering if there is an easy way to make the bootswatch theme local to the persons session cookies vs global for all users.

This should be possible. Also via flask-login you can store it in a user profile. How exactly, I also have to figure out. If you have some answers, please share them here.

@mobone, can this issue be closed?

You can just implement this by yourself. Here is an example:

• Set the theme name and store to cookie: https://github.com/greyli/bluelog/blob/master/bluelog/blueprints/blog.py#L99-L106
• Load the CCS file based on the theme name in the cookie: https://github.com/greyli/bluelog/blob/master/bluelog/templates/base.html#L11

Probably more people will find this information useful. @greyli would it be interesting to add an implementation for it to https://github.com/helloflask/bootstrap-flask/blob/master/examples/bootstrap5/templates/bootswatch.html ? Because now, when somebody changes the Bootswatch theme, it changes for all users.

[greyli]

Sounds good! Could you help to submit a PR for it?

@mobone would you like to have a go at a PR?

[mobone]

Yes I would. When I was testing it I saw the same. I assume because the theme is set in the backend it changes for all users.

Yes, that is the case now, but you can make it a user selection in a cookie. I can also share you some code to switch Bootstrap light and dark theme.

[mobone]

i understand the workaround you gave with setting the cookie and I think that'll work fine, I just haven't tried it out yet. I'll leave whether or not it needs a PR up to you.
