Is it possible to have a different header image for each part of the IPB suite ?

We are hoping to merge two or three sites using different packages (Joomla, Wordpress, Coppermine ) into one bigger IPB site.

The forum site and the Wordpress/Coppermine site already have distinct identities so we would like the header in
each area to reflect that. We are not looking to do anything with URLs etc, just headers.

IP.Content will replace Wordpress and be our main front page if we add logo in IPB board it is the same throughout site. (we are using wrapper in content)

Any tips/suggestions to achieve this?

this can be done within the forums, but I dont think it extends to gallery/blogs etc.

you create multiple themes/skins with your different headers, then assign a specific theme/skin per forum.

it can be done within the ACP, I will reply with a link once I have found the specific ACP area that you change

ok, in forums > manage forums, each category/forum has a drop down box, in that drop down box there is a 'skin options' setting

Thanks Richard but don't think that would work for us.

The forum is/was one distinct site, not multiple forums and the header would be the same across the whole forum.

The content section (and gallery) is/was another separate site so we want it to look the same but just have a different header.

Same applies to blogs but that is less of an issue than the distinction between forums and the content/gallery part

you could maybe do something in the theme's header template if/else fields calling up for different images depending on which board area you are in, but I can't think of an 'out of the box' solution unless its something IP Content can do?

sorry ... just realised I posted this in the feedback forum when I should have added it to IP.Board Technical Support. Please feel free to move it !

I blame the mobile skin rather than my own stupidity as I was posting from cellphone !!!!

You can do it with if/else tags.

Hello.

The code already has this built in so that the header image changes in blogs so you can probably mimic it for content.

Actually I think it may have been removed..

Weird, the code is still there to handle different headers in different apps, but I couldn't seem to get it to work with IP.Content. You should just need to create a template called 'overwriteHeader' in the IP.Content global skin group, and the wrapper should have used that instead of the defaultHeader template.
