Global head/base images for multiple skins/codes

[Wormopolis]

Browser tested: IE and FF
placement: Global Header (plus some editing of other codes)

What this does is allows you to have one place in your global header to set up head/base images for later codes like category splitters, post splitters, info center mods, etc...

get the skinid for each of your skins by looking at source for
var pb_skinid=n

or you can put this in your URL to alert you:
javascript:alert(pb_skinid)

once you know all your skin ids, edit the code, by changing the case numbers. you can add more case blocks in the code my just repeating the lines

case n:
global_headimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE SKIN 1";
global_footimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE SKIN 1";
break;

use the default case for any skin isnt in the list (in case you forget to edit this code). I suggest setting head and foot images to blank gifs.


now in your existing codes, anywhere it asks you for a URL to a head or base image, simply put

global_headimg
and
global_footimg

instead. example:

your category spliter has variables like:

var headerimage="URL TO HEAD IMAGE";
var footerimage="URL TO BASE IMAGE";

simply edit it like:

var headerimage=global_headimg;
var footerimage=global_footimg;


you will be setup!


code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// global head/foot variables for codes on diff skins
// by Wormopolis - wormocodes.proboards.com
// Concept by Storm - swcv5.proboards.com
// keep header intact

// use variables below in place of URLs in any code that
// require them.


var global_headimg;
var global_footimg;

// now edit the URLs below for each skin id you want


switch(pb_skinid) {
case 1:
 global_headimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE SKIN 1";
 global_footimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE SKIN 1";
 break;
case 2:
 global_headimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE SKIN 2";
 global_footimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE SKIN 2";
 break;
case 5:
 global_headimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE SKIN 5";
 global_footimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE SKIN 5";
 break;
case 14:
 global_headimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE SKIN 14";
 global_footimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE SKIN 14";
 break;
default:
 global_headimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE IF SKIN ID ISNT FOUND";
 global_footimg="URL FOR HEADER IMAGE IF SKIN ID ISNT FOUND";
 break;
}
//-->
</script>


preview: if I can make a site with multiple skins.. Storm is using it on swcv5.proboards.com
