Module for switching the read-/list-view

to let everyone know, this module can be easily hacked to allow non logged in users to change the view as well because the anonymous user is a user as well and has a user ID of 0
all you have to do is remove the check to see if the user is logged in and the module will work for both logged in and non logged in users

That is not really true. The module has quite some code that is used to remember the user's setting for the view mode in the database. Removing the check for being logged in will not make this work like intended. There is no user 0 in the database to store the data for. At best it would become a shared setting for all users with user ID 0, but that's not the case.

To remember the setting for anonymous users, one should use another storing mechanism like cookies to remember the view setting.

A simple tweak to make it multi-lingual - in your templates you can now use:

{IF SWITCHURL}<a class="PhorumNavLink" href="{SWITCHURL}">{LANG->switch_view}</a>&bull;{/IF}

(Or without the • - I'm using it on the read pages.)

English, Dutch and Dutch informal included.

Does this need to be updated for 5.2?

How will it behave with 3 view options rather than 2?
