theme design question....smarty variable question...

I am wanting to create an if statement for a theme that im working on for my site, but I'm not sure if the variable that I am using is correct. Basically what I am wanting to do is have and image change based on the module the user is in at the time.

What smarty variable would I use for this? $xoops_url ? or something else?

Basically, I had written the if statement that said <{if $xoops_url == $xoops_url/modules/news}> <{else}>

Thanks for the help

You should use this code snippet in your theme.html to get the dirname of the displayed module.

Quote:

<{php}>
$mod = $GLOBALS['xoopsModule'];
$dirname = (isset($mod) ? $mod->getVar('dirname') :'system');
$GLOBALS['xoopsTpl']->assign( 'xoops_cmod', $dirname );
<{/php}>


After this you can access this dirname through the following smarty variable.

Quote:

<{$xoops_cmod}>

Could this be done more discretely with an ..include in the header? I'm not to crazy about adding extra php code to my theme, but I can put this to good use!

I would love to see how this works in action, I have several non XOOPS custom pages that can take advantage of this

Re: theme design question....smarty variable question...

I too am not crazy about PHP code in the theme.html file because some of it is exposed if the file is called directly. However, I use some PHP code myself.

I'm not sure if an include solves the problem. But here is one way to stop prying eyes:
In an .htaccess file in the theme directory or in /themes (so it covers all themes) put:


Order allow,deny
Deny from all


Any direct calls to your theme are now Forbidden.

i do it nearly same way like chapi but using other script found here on xoops.org.

With chapis script you get <{$xoops_cmod}> for creativ things in your theme and you can react on actual displayed modules. Use this for changing images or classes.

if modul "news" is diplayed it will be rendered as "news" and so on. With this you are able to create pathes like



wich is rendered to : ..

of course, if modul news is displayed. .. Haven't tried this script but i think this will work like mine, i found here on xoops.org too..

you may put this in header.php but havn't tried...
