I need to change the style sheet and store logo based on different main categories.
I am using the latest Version 4.5.0
I need the new style sheet to persist in all sub categories and products.
I know it can probably be done with an if...else block but need help.
Thanks

Not an easy request unfortunately. I am thinking about how this might be accomplished...

It is easy to write an if statement for the category page itself in smarty:

PHP Code:

{if $cat eq 1}
 Do this
{elseif $cat eq 2}
 Do that
{/if} 


Getting it to stick on all the sub cats and products is going to be the tough part. You will have to write some php code that looks at the entire category structure, then determines which main category this particular product or category is in. Certainly not impossible, but a little daunting.

What if i had a comma separated list of cat IDs.
If $catid IN '22,23,25,35" .........

Where would I put this if statement, in which file?
many thanks

I have done this for a client. You need to get your main cats assigned to smarty at all times with the one being used assigned as well so you can base the css file load on it. Then in templates you just use an if statement which css file to load. It has to be done in php

Thanks. I don't fully understand what you mean by 'cats assigned to smarty at all times'.
Appreciate your help here.
Thanks

Your php code have to pick the main categories you want to use and assign them to smarty on each and every page, as well as specifically point out which one is to be used.

Sorry still don't understand.
Is this something you could do for me?
Thanks

Yes I can code this for you. Email me with details what exactly is needed

Had an idea!
With clean URLs set the URL can/will contain the category name?
What smarty or PHP code would look for a word inside the URL and load image/css based on what it finds eg. {if strpos($smarty.get.page, "SWCHS.html") !== false}
<p>SWCHS image/CSS</p>
{else}
default image/css
{/if}

Would something like that work?
If so what code should I use as my example is not finding SWCHS

Have you tested by simply putting {$smarty.get.page} and seeing what the results are? I believe that variable shows the result of _get requests.

Try {$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI}:

PHP Code:

{if strpos($smarty.server.REQUEST_URI, "SWCHS.html") !== false}
  <p>SWCHS image/CSS</p>
{else}
  default image/css
{/if}
