[SNIPPET] Simple Header Image changer

What is it about?
You can manage forums, to dispaly an other header-image. (hard-coded, not with acp-management)
prosilver only

No Version, no download, no support

explanation:
why create some css-parts (for example in the styles/prosilver/theme/colours.css at the end)

Code: Select all

/*  LPI-Clan  Header Images */
.lpi {
    background-color: #363636;
    background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/tfc2.jpg");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

.lpi-news {
    background-color: #363636;
    background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/tfc2_medic.jpg");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

.lpi-phpbb3 {
    background-color: #363636;
    background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/tfc2_engineer.jpg");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

.lpi-fun {
    background-color: #363636;
    background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/tfc2_hw_guy.jpg");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

.lpi-off-topic {
    background-color: #363636;
    background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/tfc2_sniper.jpg");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

the Background-Images need to be placed in styles/prosilver/theme/images
Now we need to modify the styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html, so the new images are used:

find

Code: Select all

    <div id="page-header">
        <div class="headerbar">

replace with:

Code: Select all

    <div id="page-header">
        <div class="headerbar {HEADER_IMAGE}">

Now there's the hardcoded part. you need to place your forum_ids here (one case {NUM}: for each, default is for all uncalled ones, case 0: is for all other pages)

open: includes/functions.php
find:

Code: Select all

<?php     // Which timezone?
    $tz = ($user->data['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS) ? strval(doubleval($user->data['user_timezone'])) : strval(doubleval($config['board_timezone'])); 

after add:

Code: Select all

     // start switch forum image in header
    $header_forum = request_var('f', 0);
   
    switch ($header_forum)
    {
        case 0:      // index.php, search.php, ....
            $header_bg = 'lpi';
        break;

        case 1:      // forum_id 1
        case 10:    // forum_id 10
            $header_bg = 'lpi-news';
        break; // break; if no more forum shall get this image

        case 2:      // forum_id 2
            $header_bg = 'lpi-fun';
        break;

        case 3:      // forum_id 3
            $header_bg = 'lpi-off-topic';
        break;
       
        case 25:    // forum_id 25
        case 26:    // forum_id 26
        case 27:    // forum_id 27
            $header_bg = 'lpi-phpbb3';
        break;
       
        default:   // default for all other forums
            $header_bg = 'lpi';
    }
    // end switch forum image in header     

find

Code: Select all

     // The following assigns all _common_ variables that may be used at any point in a template.
    $template->assign_vars(array( 

after add:

Code: Select all

          'HEADER_IMAGE'        =>     $header_bg,   

Clear cache in the ACP and refresh theme and template!
