[2.x] Same skin, multiple blogs, diff header & tracking

1 Apr 06, 2009 19:53    

My b2evolution Version: 2.x

I'm working on migrating 30-odd blogs over from blogger (self publishing). I'm customizing a skin to mimic the current layout. So far, so good. What I can't figure out is how to code it to pull in a different header graphic and tracking code for each one.

What I'd like to do is enter a variable into the CSS for the header graphic to simply point it at something like " /media/*blogname*/header.jpg" so that each blog pulls in the header.jpg from its own media directory. I just can't seem to find the variable to plug in there.

Similarly, I have a chunk of html code I'm putting into the footer of each one for Omniture tracking. I need to be able to use a variable to pull in the name of each blog so that I can use the same code on a universal footer, but have it track based on the blog it's loading.

Anybody have a variable name that will work for that? Or is there a different way to do this I'm not coming up with?

Thanks!!

a lame idea: duplicate skin folder, rename them skin1, skin2....skin30 so that you can style each blog seperately as well as header..

another lame idea: using ; If Blog->ID=1; <img src=header1.jpg /> blog->ID=2; <img src=header2.jpg>.... in body.header.php

these are what i can think of at first sight.. but they arent very good ideas afaic.. there's gotta be a better one that i will remind later, or someone else would suggest

/media/blogs/[blog name]/style.css == header ;)

OMG - duh! Thank you yabba! Can't believe I didn't think of that!

Now where exactly would this go? I'm trying to decipher the structure of what I've customized and I've changed enough that I've confused myself.

My apologies for the dumb question - but where exactly do I change this? In which file? I'm pretty well versed in PHP but b2e is new to me.

Oh wait - I think I get it now. By putting a copy of the style.css into each blog's media folder and checking that setting in the blog setup, it will look for a unique css for that blog. Trying that now. Thanks! (Sorry for the idiotic question.)

You only need the "changed" bit of css ;)
