Geeklog Forums

Hello, I am trying to setup a site for a client and he really likes all but wants to have different bacground for certain links. He thinks this is small request and insists on this. I think his request is not a big deal but have really hard time finding how to deal with it. If I try to use PHP_SELF or QUERY_STRING, they are empty and I guess this is due templating system. I tried to make it as function in appropriate file but no luck. I already made multiple css files, just need help how to select them based on what module is used. If anyone has suggestions about this, I would be more than interested to hear them. Thank you very much, Zeljko

Can you be more specific? Isn\'t this something that could be solved by using CSS? Where did you use them and how? They should work just fine in the theme\'s functions.php file, for example. bye, Dirk

Thanks for quick reply, unfortunatelly I can\'t use just css, I need to have different css for example when you use forum or classifieds then on homepage. I tried to put $php_self or http_server_vars[\'php_self etc both on the header.thtml (as this is only place where php can be done) or at the functions.php as you suggested but no luck. I am suspecting that this is something with templating engine,so if you have any advice or expriment I could do to clear things, I will listen. I did already tried a lot. BTW, PHP is working well on those places, just those vars are not present and I don\'t know why? Kind regards, Zeljko Dakic

You\'re right, I couldn\'t get PHP_SELF etc. to work either.

I found this little workaround. It\'s not pretty, but it does the trick

In the theme\'s functions.php, do something like this:

$_USER[\'myvar\'] = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[\'PHP_SELF\'];

You can then access $_USER[\'myvar\'] in the header.thtml.

As I said, it\'s not pretty but it should work. Just make sure to chose a pretty unique/obscure name for \"myvar\" so you don\'t risk any name collision with names that Geeklog may use ...

bye, Dirk

*sigh* The forum\'s messing up the closing brackets again (Blaine, help!) but I hope you did get the idea nonetheless ... bye, Dirk
