CSS to Control Header

[ideasgirl]

On version 1.3.0.2 was posible to control the header by css and I succeed with the docs instructions:

c_??_??.css // changes to all info pages in a category

On version 1.3.5 the instructions changed to:

c_??.css // changes to all info pages in a category

The problem is that when you go to subcategories of that category, the header changes to the main one. On 1.3.0.2 didn't do that, and if you see the change from the css name makes sense, but I can't use the previous name because doesn't work.

Sooooooooo, what's the solution?

It should still work according to the old instructions.

Post a URL if it's not ...

No, not working correctly. I even tried the code given with 1.3.5 on the 1.3.0.2 and it worked as well, but on 1.3.5 works only on top categories. I will send the url by PM.

Any solution to this issue? I sent you a PM with the links DrByte...

Hey! the pros on CSS here.... Can anyone of you track this little buggy down? I've test it on fresh install without modules, and doesn't work as it supposed.

Works fine for me on 3 different sites in development just as it is supposed to.

Since you don't want to give a URL for anyone to troubleshoot that is the only thing I can say.

Has there been any answer to this query? I too am trying to create different headers for different categories. I have searched the forum and have found a quarter of an answer and need a little bit more of a clue. As I understand it, using:

c_??.css // changes to all info pages in a category

I can create a stylesheet for each categories. Now is this c_categoryIDhere.css?What I don't understand, if someone could please clarify, is how do I get zencart to access this stylesheet?

TIA

I can create a stylesheet for each categories. Now is this c_categoryIDhere.css?What I don't understand, if someone could please clarify, is how do I get zencart to access this stylesheet?

Create your c_??.css and upload it to your server.

Now whenever the page with that category number is called, Zen Cart will automatically access the stylesheet.

This is the code in html_header.php that makes this possible.

/**
 * load stylesheets on a per-page/per-language/per-product/per-manufacturer/per-category basis. Concept by Juxi Zoza.
 */
  $manufacturers_id = (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id'])) ? $_GET['manufacturers_id'] : '';
  $tmp_products_id = (isset($_GET['products_id'])) ? (int)$_GET['products_id'] : '';
  $tmp_pagename = ($this_is_home_page) ? 'index_home' : $current_page_base;
  $sheets_array = array('/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '_stylesheet', 
                        '/' . $tmp_pagename, 
                        '/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '_' . $tmp_pagename, 
                        '/c_' . $cPath,
                        '/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '_c_' . $cPath,
                        '/m_' . $manufacturers_id,
                        '/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '_m_' . (int)$manufacturers_id, 
                        '/p_' . $tmp_products_id,
                        '/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '_p_' . $tmp_products_id
                        );
  while(list ($key, $value) = each($sheets_array)) {
    //echo "<!--looking for: $value-->\n";
    $perpagefile = $template->get_template_dir('.css', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base, 'css') . $value . '.css';
    if (file_exists($perpagefile)) echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $perpagefile .'" />'."\n";
  }
