UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Style Sheet Handling

Hi,

This might sound like a strange question but does anyone know which files are involved in checking to see what style sheet a person has chosen and delivering it? I am looking to force them to view the forum with a preset stylesheet that is dependent on the url they are visiting rather than allowing a choice.

Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Typically the stylesheet is called by ubbt.inc.php, your all-purpose Threads Function page.

Lost me on this one. You can force users to be set toward one stylesheet by only offering a default (and no choices).

But if you are talking forcing certain users to a stylesheet, and forcing OTHER users to a different stylesheet...all based off a URL as a $variable - you would need to write a hack for the Stylesheet call.

Thanks for the tip

Yes this is exactly right. Multiple domain names all point to the same document root and they want the forum to look different depending on the url.

Ayep, no simple way to do that one. You would have to edit the ubbt.inc.php stylesheet function to look at the URL referrer (or something similar) and base the output of the stylesheet on that.

Something like IF "url" {$StyleSheet='thisone'} elseif .... elseif....else.

Ok, I got that working and thanks again

Now I have another little snag in that I need to pass a few variables into the ubbt_registerednav.tmpl and ubbt_unregisterednav.tmpl files. I don't suppose you (or anyone) have any idea where to go to do that do you?

Guessing (without having access to my files)...but again I believe the code for both nav templates are in ubbt.inc.php

This would be a nice feature to build in. Classic currently has this. (but to be fair classic doesn't have css yet).
