seperate header.tpl file for signup ?

[Snowman]

we are using a modified version of the portal clientside template

 

this is great for the client area but we dont want the left hand side menu being displayed in the signup process

 

is there a way to give the actual signup templates their own header template? or alternatively is there a way to add an if statement to the template so it wont show if the cart pages are being loaded?

[herpherp]

If I were doing this I would create two copies of the header.tpl and name 1 mainheader.tpl and the other cartheader.tpl

 

Then I would replace everything in header.tpl with the following code

 

{if $pagetitle neq 'Shopping Cart'}
{include file="/home/YourUserName/public_html/PathToWHMCS/templates/TemplateName/mainheader.tpl"}
{else}
  {include file="/home/YourUserName/public_html/PathToWHMCS/templates/TemplateName/cartheader.tpl"}
{/if}

 

Of course you need to change YourUserName, PathToWHMCS and TemplateName

 

Then simply edit the cartheader.tpl to whatever you want to show or not show...

 

Hope this helps, there are probably easier or more efficient ways to do this but off the top of my head this is what I would come up with...

Snowman, did this option work out for you?

Holy crap banana this works great!!

 

I just created different menus within the header.tpl because some of the links were related to My Account and other to Support and others to Resources. So now depending on which page a user is on they would never know they are in the /clients/ installation.

 

{if $pagetitle == 'Client Area' || $pagetitle == 'Support Tickets'}

- Show menu 1

 

{elseif $pagetitle == 'Knowledgebase' || $pagetitle == 'Announcements'}

- Show menu 2

 

{else}

- Show menu 3

 

{/if}

 

PS: For non-PHP people || means "or"

PPS: There was no need to create more header templates in this case. Everything was done in the 1 tmeplate.

 

Thanks again HerpHerp

I've followed the above example and something isn't working as expected

 

{if $pagetitle == 'Shopping Cart'}

<img src="templates/{$template}/images/skin_cart.gif" width="715" height="85">

{else}

{if $pagetitle == 'Domain Checker'}

<img src="templates/{$template}/images/domain_title.gif" width="715" height="85">

{else}

<img src="templates/{$template}/images/skin_title.gif" width="715" height="85">

{/if}

{/if}

 

I cannot see to display the image for Domain Checker - can anyone tell me how to fix this?

I have tried the initial suggestion to get separate headers for the signup and it works perfectly on all signup order forms apart from the web20cart order form where it completely screws the page layout and puts massive spaces around each of the header images

 

I just cant identify why this is happening though cause there isnt anythgin different in the orderforms style.css that would conflict
