display certain images on certain pages

[webandwe]

Hi,

How can I check which page I'm on and display the image I want on that page.

I'm using joomla. Now I want to change the header image on some pages but can't do it now because all the pages works off from the index file.

Thanks

Hi Webandwe,

Before I outline my approach to this problem I must say I've never used Joomla. So, with that caveat here is what I would do.

1. Have a table with page_id and page_image_url stored in it.
2. For each page on the site I would assign a unique page ID and store it either in the query string or the $_SESSION.
3. When each page fires up check that value and retrieve the image location from the database

I hope that helps you to see a way forward. If you already have some code that needs tweaking or looking over feel free to post it here and get some input on it.

Cheers

Hi,
find the index.php in templete folder and there i added this code to use the different class name for frontpage and other page.

<?php
if ($_GET[view]=="frontpage") { ?> 
class="wrapper-bfront"
 <?php
 } else { 
?> 
class="wrapper-b" 
<?php 
} 
?> 

And $_GET[view] which tell you the name of the page.
i think this will help you.
