Smart Backgrounds support

[gjh42]

For manufacturer pages, here is some code to test. Find in smart_backgrounds_functions.php

  if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'index' or $_GET['main_page'] == 'product_info') { 
    // _p and products_id  only if individual prod bg image exists, else  _product_info  only if page bg image exists, else  _ and cPath  only if individual cat bg image exists, else  _ and top cat id  only if top cat bg image exists
    $smart_image = ($_GET['main_page'] == 'product_info' and file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smart' . $location . '_p' . $_GET['products_id'] . $ext))?'_p' . $_GET['products_id']:(($_GET['main_page'] == 'product_info' and file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smart' . $location . '_product_info' . $ext))?'_product_info':
                   (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smart' . $location . '_' . $_GET['cPath'] . $ext)?'_' . $_GET['cPath']:(file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smart' . $location . '_' . (int)$_GET['cPath'] . $ext)?'_' . (int)$_GET['cPath']:'')));
  } elseif ($_GET['main_page'] == 'page') { 

and replace with this

  if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'index' or $_GET['main_page'] == 'product_info') { 
    if (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id='])) {
    // _m and manufacturers_id  only if individual mfr bg image exists, else  _manufacturer  only if page bg image exists
      $smart_image = (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smart' . $location . '_m' . $_GET['manufacturers_id'] . $ext))? '_m' . $_GET['manufacturers_id']: (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smart' . $location . '_manufacturer' . $ext)?'_manufacturer': '');
    } else {
    // _p and products_id  only if individual prod bg image exists, else  _product_info  only if page bg image exists, else  _ and cPath  only if individual cat bg image exists, else  _ and top cat id  only if top cat bg image exists
    $smart_image = ($_GET['main_page'] == 'product_info' and file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smart' . $location . '_p' . $_GET['products_id'] . $ext))?'_p' . $_GET['products_id']:(($_GET['main_page'] == 'product_info' and file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smart' . $location . '_product_info' . $ext))?'_product_info':
                   (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smart' . $location . '_' . $_GET['cPath'] . $ext)?'_' . $_GET['cPath']:(file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smart' . $location . '_' . (int)$_GET['cPath'] . $ext)?'_' . (int)$_GET['cPath']:'')));
    }
  } elseif ($_GET['main_page'] == 'page') {

Hello

When I first saw this add on I thought it was to change the background but it seems not.
I wanted to change the background does not want to change the header or logo ( change the background of the site). can you help me? Sorry for my english

[gjh42]

Yes, this mod can be used to change the background (of pretty much any element).
I need more information on how and what you want to change before I can help.

[dinix]

hello thanks for the reply. Send a sample page by clicking between the category will see the right to change the background (various instruments)
sample page http://www.thomann.de/gb/index.html

[gjh42]

For behavior similar to that, you would want to change the body background based on the current category or subcat. You could have a different background for every subcategory or other page.

That site actually has a randomizing function added, which gives a different image selected from a certain set each time the same page is visited. That would be custom coding beyond the scope of this mod.

[dinix]

I know that the image of this site is randomizing function but what I want is:

category1
subcategoria1a
subcategoria1b

category2
subcategoria2a
subcategoria2b

background1 to category1 (and subcategories)
background2 to category2 (and subcategories)

will this add on can do this?

[gjh42]

Yes, if you make a background applicable to category1, it will appear on all of category1's subcats as well. The readme describes how to do this.

Hi Glenn,

does this mod work based on language?
I have a slider in the header, and the images have text in them.
Right now, regardless of the language selected by the user, the slider images are the same with the same text (language).

I'd need the following
user selects Italian language, hence the slider displays
img_1_IT
img_2_IT
img_3_IT
...

user selects English language, hence the slider displays
img_1_EN
img_2_EN
img_3_EN
...

Does Smart Background do that.

Thank you

Been traveling and offline for a while...
As Smart Backgrounds uses the /your_template/images/ folder to test, it does not automatically accommodate multiple languages. It could be implemented for certain purposes to work with language awareness, but I would have to study your application to know the best way to do it.

I have actually just updated and adapted the Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow mod to allow for multiple languages, but have been informed that Dynamic Drive's TOS do not allow it to be distributed by anyone but them; therefore, I am not allowed to give you my complete adaptation. I will be reworking the mod to give directions for everyone who wants to use it to do the adaptation themselves (and supporting the inevitable mistakes that some people will make when they try to do it... sigh...)

[keneso]

Thank you for your usual kindness, I hope you're enjoying yourself.

I'll wait for your instructions on the Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow, though I'd rather stick with the slider I have already on the site; hence hoping you don't mind I'll ask for the php if/else statement to select a different header based on language, much like the if/else for different pages.

In case you'd like to check the site where I am trying to do this it's amberprecious dot com where both English, and Italian have the same heade images in the home page, and different ones in the "amber History" (ez-page) page.
