I want to change the header image for one of my topics (note, not the topic image but the big header of my site image) but for that topic only. I found a hack called Chameleon from squatty, which changes the theme of the site per topic, but I don't need to change the whole theme and the version is pretty old.

My question to you is:

is it possible to do a php statement in the header.thtml file that would be something like

IF this page comes from topic "DVD"

print "image = dvd.jpg"

ELSE

print "image = normal"

you can tell I come from the BASIC days. Anyone know how to code this or if its possible?

Actually I did this with 2 different CSS and Dirk's help like this in the header.thtml:

Text Formatted Code
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href=
<?php
global $_CONF, $topic;
if ($topic == 'topicB') {print $_CONF['layout_url'] . '/topicB.css';}
 else {print $_CONF['layout_url'] . '/style.css';}?>
  title="{theme}">

 


It says mainly if the chosen topic is "topicB" then chose the css topicB.css

Obviously topicB.css contains a background pic which is different from style.css. I deleted the usual logo.gif in the header.thtml.

Text Formatted Code
.header-logobg-container-inner {
  background:url(images/logo_topicB.gif);
  background-repeat:no-repeat;
  /*background:url(images/header-bg.png) #5A94D6;*/
  border-bottom:1px solid #CCCCCC;
}

 


If you also want to change the site slogan in the header.thtml:

Text Formatted Code
<?php global $_CONF, $topic;
if ($topic == 'topicB') {print 'site slogan topicB';} else {print '{site_slogan}';}?>
