XF 2.2 Is it possible to make my forum change header depending on what node category you clicked in?

Hi Guys!

I want to change picture or header pic. based on the category my users chosen. I think it's pretty stylsish
Is it possible?

You can choose the style per category node. So first you'd create a child style and simply change the header. Then in the node you'd select it.

Override user style choice

Where can I choose a style for a category or node? In the node settings there is no option like that.

Also does it mean that I have to creat a new child style for every single forum? If so does it mean I have to do a trick so that the users wont be able to choose between the themes?

Thanks!

No the setting is an override.

No the setting is an override.

Is it bad for the site if I create a custom theme for each forum?

My question is: will it slow down the site if I create a custom style for every single forum category?
I only want to change the header but really.... is this the only option to do it?

My biggest issue is that I can keep the dark theme if I force users to use a specific theme because of a header...

Basically:
the users decide to change the theme to dark theme, but if he click on a topic the site will force him to use the "ligt theme with the new header" because I cant set up two styles for them...

Any better solution?

Thanks

Hi Guys!

Is there any solution to set up a custom header background for forum nodes... while keeping everything else the same.

... even if the user choose to use dark or light theme?
I only want to change the header image.

Short answer: Having more themes will cause the site to slow down when upgrading the core/addons and possibly other places.

I see , but the customers wont see a thing?

Also any ad-on or tip how I can set custom headers?
Because I find it kind of extreme that I need to add a custom theme each time, also makes it impossible to let the users use a choosen dark or light theme AND change the header, because I will have to force the users to use my light or dark theme if I add it to a category or forum.

Because I did not specified in that question that I would like the user to have the ability of light and dark themes.

It's not extreme. A child style will only load the differences. If you wanted one with pink text only, that's what you would do.

You just did, I read it.

Yeah, still I can let the user use dark theme, if I have to force him to use a light theme with the new header pic.
