Anyone have any idea how to define a different theme , header, or page per topic?

You *could* take .thtml elements from one theme and put it in another. No guarantees that it would work, though.

There already exists a feature request for this, but in the meantime, here is an idea (untested!) for a hack to accomplish this:

In lib-common.php in function COM_siteHeader, the URL for the stylesheet to use is set like this:

$header->set_var('css_url', $_CONF['layout_url'] . '/style.css');

You could change this to switch stylesheets based on the current topic like this:

if (!empty ($topic)) {
$header->set_var('css_url', $_CONF['layout_url'] . '/' . $topic . '.css'); } else {
$header->set_var('css_url', $_CONF['layout_url'] . '/style.css');
}

You would then need one stylesheet per topic that has the same name as the topic ID you gave your topics in the Admin topic editor.

Hope that helps (and works ...)

Heyza! I just did this to acheive what you want, making different headers & footers for each topic. I just added $topic variable in front of where it loads header.thtml (in lib-common.php) so that if the topic is called food, it will look for foodheader.thtml when in the food story topic area, etc. complete code & discussion at: http://ironfeather.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=20;t=12 Cheers!
