Smart Backgrounds support

[charagg]

replaced it with the original tpl_main_page file - that didn't work either. Is it possible that it has something to do with settings in EZpages admin?

I can't say it isn't possible without checking, though I can't think of any setting that could affect this code.

I'm going to do a test run on my local installation to see if I can reproduce these results, or verify that it works on an otherwise stock version.

OK - I'm going to see if there are any possible settings in the admin that may effect. However, I don't think there. I'll let you know if anything turns up.

This is a reminder to test even what seem like no-brainer code modifications... turns out that the chained ternary operators were getting confused and giving the output for the second test when the first test was positive. It needed parentheses to correctly organize them. So

$smart_image = file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smartbg_page' . $_GET[id] . '.gif')?'_page' . $_GET[id]:file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smartbg_page.gif')?'_page':'';

needs to be

$smart_image = file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smartbg_page' . $_GET[id] . '.gif')?'_page' . $_GET[id]:(file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smartbg_page.gif')?'_page':'');

and the same with the previous statement:
$smart_image = file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smartbg_' . $_GET[cPath] . '.gif')?'_' . $_GET[cPath]:(file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smartbg_' . (int)$_GET[cPath] . '.gif')?'_' . (int)$_GET[cPath]:'');

if ($current_page_base == 'index' or $current_page_base == 'product_info') { //add _ and cPath to bg filename only if individual cat bg image exists, else add _ and top cat id to bg filename only if top cat bg image exists
  $smart_image = file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smartbg_' . $_GET[cPath] . '.gif')?'_' . $_GET[cPath]:(file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smartbg_' . (int)$_GET[cPath] . '.gif')?'_' . (int)$_GET[cPath]:'');
} elseif ($current_page_base == 'page') { //add _page and ez-page id to bg filename only if ez-page id bg image exists, else add _page to bg filename only if general ez-page bg image exists
  $smart_image = file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smartbg_page' . $_GET[id] . '.gif')?'_page' . $_GET[id]:(file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'smartbg_page.gif')?'_page':'');
} else 

I have submitted an update to the mod in Free Addons, but if you have this installed already, all you need to do is add parentheses to the two statements as shown.

Hallelujah! Thank you Glen! You're awesome. I had a feeling it had to do with syntax, but wasn't exactly sure. Thanks a bunch for such a wonderful contribution! - Ara

Hey Glen

Man ive been studying and testing and reading post after post..ive gotten some results but not complete results...it all seems easy but i must be missing something..

Im using smart backgrounds to try and create a different Mainwrapper-background image for 3 pages. My main page, shipping, and contact us pages.

I have installed version 2.1.1.

I can get the shippinginfo page to work..but i cant seems to get all 3 pages different.

I feel like a fool because ive read over and over you telling us all how to do it...and yet i have to ask you to hold my hand through it.

THX in advance for your help.
