Hey,
I often found it fustrating that SD skins normally keep the same image across all pages - as when designing for clients pretty much the first thing they want is different images on each page!
Thankfully there are a couple of fixes.
If your skin uses CSS to bring in the image you want to change for each page, the you can use this :
<?php
{
echo '<div id="content'.$categoryid.'">';
}
?>
to replace what would normally be : <div id="content1"> or similar.
This will mean you have to add a new block of CSS for each section of the site in the styles.css file - content2,content56 etc. You'll find the css that places the image you want to change, that is the one to duplicate. This is obviously useful as a trick to get any formatting, images and plugins to change per page.
Another way is to do it directly from the php file. If your skin specifies the header image (or any other) in the php file, as some do, then you can swap the images directly from here. To do this find the code that says :
<img src="skins/core/images/banner.jpg" alt="Banner" id="banner" />
And swap it for :
<?php
{
echo '<img src="skins/core/images/banner'.$categoryid.'.jpg" alt="Banner" id="banner" />';
}
?>
You then need to rename the images banner1,2,3,4 etc according to the catagory id's.
I am no programmer, but just find my own ways round any limitations I find - so if anyone knows a better way than this I'd love to know it, but either or these should/will do what you want for now
Hope that helps!
