Unique Forum Header Including Parent Forums · **Released**: 03-12-2002

FireFly told me to post it and its semi based on his code.

it tries to use its own forumid if it doesn't use it then it tries the parent one and so forth and if it doesn't find one then it uses the default one.

open global.php

look for

PHP Code:


			
eval("\$header .= \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");

replace with

PHP Code:


			
if (substr($PHP_SELF, -strlen('forumdisplay.php')) == 'forumdisplay.php') {

  $forumid = intval($forumid);

  $foruminfo = verifyid('forum',$forumid,1,1);

  $parentlist = explode(",", $foruminfo["parentlist"]);

  $header = '';

  for ($i=0; $i<count($parentlist) and empty($header); $i++) {

    eval("\$header = \"".gettemplate("forumdisplay_header".$parentlist[$i])."\";");

  }

  if($header == '') {

    eval("\$header .= \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");

  }

} else {

  eval("\$header .= \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");

}

now create a new template called forumdisplay_headerFORUMID where Forumid is the forumid you wish to have the banner for, though this will also affect child forums unless they have their own.

Ok, well that didn't work... I'll keep trying, but it'd much more fun for me if one of you geniouses would just let me in on the secret, lol.

Ok, I'm actually starting to wonder if this is what I'm even looking for. Does this give you the option to give each forum a banner? Or do you have to install this hack on top of itself for each forum you want a new banner for?

*wonders if people realize I have the mentality of a 3 year old and will keep posting until somebody helps me, lol

You thought I was kidding, didn't you?

create a template called
forumdisplay_header1
put in some stuff
then in forumdisplay with id one you get that header

Warlord · #27 03-24-2002, 12:54 PM

Oooook... "put in some stuff" isn't exacly what I was looking for, but the way this sounds I would have to make a template for each forum I wanted to have a different banner in, right? Not really the hack I'm looking for I guess.

Anyone know of a hack like this?

bump

Ok, I figured out what you were talking about and installed the hack. Works good, but it doesn't show the forum banner when viewing a thread in that forum.. it defaults back to the origional banner.. how do I change that?

Warlord · #30 03-25-2002, 02:00 AM

Ok, I would assume I have to add showthread.php in global.php somewhere like forumdisplay.php is.. but where do I add it?

I'd have to make changes to the code in global.php which I will get around to doing sometime today, I have support tickets still to answer and to clean my room :O
