UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Different headers for different pages

I want to have a different header on my ubbthreads.php and postlist.php than is on all other pages, such as myhome.php, newpost.php, etc. I've tried several ways of doing this, but I can't get it right. I've done a search of the forum, and don't see any other people having this problem, so I figure I'm having a brain seizure.

Any suggestions?

POst what version you are using

Sorry ... 6.5.

Hmm, ok I *think* I understand what you're after. You basically want a single custom header to be used on both ubbthreads.php and postlist.php (all forums). So for all those pages it will be identical, right?

Alright try the following:

In includes/ubbt.inc.php...

CHANGE THIS:



TO THIS:



Well that may not be the exact code in 6.5, but you get the idea

Of course, you'll need to create and upload to your includes folder a file named header_custom.php which will be used on those pages.

Be sure to lemme know how much gets screwed up

Excellent, thanks, Twisty. Your mod came close, but PHP_SELF had not been pulled from the environment. Here is the mod built on yours that worked for me.

ver 6.5
CHANGE THIS:

Code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// ----------------------------
// require the header.php file
if ( ($script['2'] != "top") ) {
if ($fheader) {
$header = "header_$Board.php";
}else {
$header = "header.php";
}
if (!$debug) {
@include "$thispath/includes/$header";
}
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


TO THIS:

Code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// require the header.php file
if ( ($script['2'] != "top") ) {
$current_php_page = find_environmental ("PHP_SELF");
if ($fheader) {
$header = "header_$Board.php";
}
elseif ((!$fheader) && strstr($current_php_page, 'postlist.php')) {
$header = "header_custom.php";
}
elseif ((!$fheader) && strstr($current_php_page, 'ubbthreads.php')) {
$header = "header_custom.php";
}
else {
$header = "header.php";
}
if (!$debug) {
@include "$thispath/includes/$header";
}
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's not the cleanest scripting, I know, but it will do for now.

Thanks again for your generous help!

What I forgot to do is add /ubbthreads/ before all the script names (silly mistake, I didn't test it). This method also requires globals to be enabled in php.ini as well (register_globals = on), and then it should work.

But your method will work too ie. doing a string search and using find_environmental
