Setting styleid for a custom page?

[Trana]

Can someone please help me with this beginner question? I cannot seem to find the answer when I search in this forum.

I am creating a custom page and need to know how to statically set the styleid for the page. I want to do it inline in the code, not in a plugin.

Thanks!

Anyone know how to do this?

Why not use a plugin? I know this works:
hook location - fetch style
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'yyyyy') {
$styleid = xx;
}If you want to put it in the code, find that hook location and add it there.

I'm trying to create a whole bunch of files that should only be displayed with a styleid that I set. So I am wondering how I can set the style just before I output a template.

Several of your templates - header, headinclude, footer - are rendered when global.php is called. If you need to assign a styleid to them, you need to do so before they are rendered which means using a plugin or finding that hook location manually adding the code there.

Awesome! So simple! Works a treat for those one off pages.

On a side note in vB4.x I found the hook was actually called 'style_fetch'.

Obviously an old thread, but still VERY helpful
