Custom Pages

[Lainey]

I have certain plans for custom pages. Like I right now I have an important info thread but I was gonna make a Rules/FAQ page and move other such things in other manners but the info would still be there.

My question is these custom pages is it simple to get them to change depending on the THEME being used by a user. Im decent with the formatting HTML but beyond that I may get a bit lost being able to create the page in such a way its look changes with the theme.

Something like this should be doable:


{if theme == 1}
<!-- Code here -->
{elseif theme == 2}
<!-- theme 2 code here -->
{/if}

Chris's solution should work assuming that custom pages don't already get theme permissions set on them.

Thats what I was trying to figure out. Besides the information on the page is the same no matter the theme so his solution would bog down the servers having the same info so many times. I cant wait to find out.

Chris's solution will not cause any noticeable difference when loading, because you don't have to repeat all the content (and for just text content, it probably wouldn't matter if you did repeat it).

Also, if the content is the same on all themes, then what is the question?

To make sure custom pages take formatting and look from the given theme of the forum and doesnt need to be set indepentlly

Wouldn't just using CSS solve this?

Yup.

Well I guess I'll just have to wait for the release and then I'll know better how to phrase my concern if there is indeed still have one once the software is realeased.

If you want to be able to do this:


<table id="main_table" class="border">
<tr><td class="cell">
My content here!
</td></tr>
</table>

And have it take the proper colors for each skin, you can. I think that's what you meant.
