Style

[coffee2k3]

Hi,

I've had Links Directory for quite a while now and recently upgraded my boards to 3.5. I installed Links again, then I tried to set style (global.php) as it was directed with 3.0,

if (VBA_SCRIPT == 'links_directory')
{
$codestyleid = X;
}

It doesn't seem to be working anymore. Could you please let me know what I should change to have a different style for my links directory?

While at it, is there a chance to set style per link category? Please? :)

Halleluja, my fault... I had a bad reference and put 'links' instead of 'links_directory', sorry.

The other part of the question .... Set style by category, would be much appreciated.

Approximately how many categories do you have that you want to have a forced style for? Will all the categories that you want to change have a different style, or will most have the same?

Brian,

Thanks for replying. I'd like to have 3-4 different categories with their respective styles...

Actually, now that I think about it that's not going to be that easy. It could be done on the browselinks.php page farily easily, but wouldn't follow over into the showlink.php page and such in all conditions.

Brian, thanks. I really don't mind editing as many files as needed to get this done.

Sorry to bump thread, but could you please share how it's done on browselinks.php? Maybe different styles per categories could be included in future releases, or am I the first to ask for it? :)

In your forum/global.php file look for this code:
// #############################################################################
// ######################## START TEMPLATES & STYLES ###########################
// #############################################################################


Right below that add:
if (VBA_SCRIPT == 'links_directory')
{
if (intval($_REQUEST['c']))
{
$_REQUEST['catid'] = $_REQUEST['c'];
}

switch ($_REQUEST['catid'])
{
case 1:
$codestyleid = X;
break;

case 2:
$codestyleid = Y;
break;

case 3:
$codestyleid = Z;

default:
$codestyleid = A;
}
}

Change the catids after each 'case' statement to a valid catid, then change the $codestyleid just below to the styleid you want used for that category.

Thanks Brian, works great, even on showlink.php. The only thing it wouldn't follow over is when replying to a link, but will probably survive without that lol.

Thanks again.

1 tiny thing, I had to add

case 3:
$codestyleid = Z;
break;
