Different Header for contact page?

[rpbenton]

Is it possible to change have a different header on a certain page? I want to have the contact page of my site refer to a different image map, either in a seperate tpl_header.php file, or from a code contained in the tpl_main_page.php. I figured out how to disable the header for the page, but can't figure out how to add a different one. Thanks!

I figured it out. If anyone else was wondering, open your tpl_main_page file and find the mainWrapper div. Add an if/else statement pointing to another header page. The first section is the page you want to be different.

<div id="mainWrapper">

<?php
/**
* prepares and displays header output
*
*/
if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'contact_us,conditions')) ) {
require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_header2.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_header2.php');}

else
require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_header.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_header.php');?>

thank for your solution, it worked for me, too!! except "TEMPLAT E" should be "TEMPLATE"

two questions,
if i want to have more than two tpl_header.php, for example, tpl_header2.php, tpl_header3.php, tpl_header4.php, etc.
how could i make it possible

and how can i use one of ezpage to have one of tpl_header.php
"contact_us,conditions" are no problem, but for ezpage, it just look like this
mydomain.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=1&chapter=0


many thanks

Use the following: the highlighted portion would be the id for your ezPage
if (in_array($ezpage_id,explode(",",'7'))) {

}

Thanks for this function!

What would be the IF statement to use for Category pages? Also, categories with sub-categories.

I tried this:

if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'index&cPath=2_6,contact_us,conditions' )) ) {
require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_header2.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_header2.php');}

And it does not work.

Thanks

You'll need to use this

if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath=='2_6' or $current_page_base == 'contact_us' or $current_page_base == 'conditions') {
require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_header2.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_header2.php');
}

Thanks for supplying this code. I am working on the same site as Loosefast and the Home page uses one header, all other pages use the other header i.e. header2.php. How would we specify the Home page? In other words the if statements would read:

If Home page

require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_header.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_header.php');

Else

require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_header2.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_header2.php');}

That way we don't have to specify the specific category, ez pages, contact page etc.

if ($this_is_home_page) {
  require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_header.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_header.php');
}else{
  require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_header2.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_header2.php');
} 

...well that was pretty close to simultaneous :)
