stylesheet per section ?

[Guest]

Does anyone know if/how to apply a differnt style sheet depending on which section the user is in. (like http://www.ebuyer.co.uk) I just want to change the general colour scheme for each category section, so the user knows they are in a different section of the site, selling different products.

Cheers Tim

Hi redbak, here's a basic overview of how I would implement this....

You'd need to edit skins/{your skin}/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl and replace the stylesheet definition with a variable placeholder, e.g. {VAL_STYLESHEET}

And then in index.php you'd need to assign a value using $body->assign("VAL_STYLESHEET",......); based on the value of $_GET['act'] and various other things too.

E.g. For index.php?act=viewCat&catId=1

$_GET['act'] is viewCat, so then you'd just assign whichever stylesheet you want to use for the category $_GET['catId']

E.g. For index.php?act=viewProd&productId=1

$_GET['act'] is viewProd, you'd need to lookup $_GET['productId'] to figure out which category the product is in, and then assign the appropriate stylesheet.

E.g. For anything else, just assign your default stylesheet.

No worries Tim.

Estelle, i see you do mods and obviously know what you are talking about. How much would it cost to work it out for me ?

I've got a client that is pretty keen for diffent category areas to look different, but i don't have the skills to impliment it. If you can help please email through my profile or reply on the thread.

Cheers Tim

p.s id want to be using the search engine mod in the downloads section if thgat complicates matters.

Tim, I've sent you an email.

I am quite busy, so if any other developers may be able to do this work for Tim, please contact him

Thanks.
