Changing the style based on where the user comes from...

[kirthijn]

Hi Guys,
I created a community as part of my website....
I have a logo at the top of the community... A user will be directed to the community from two different pages... I was wondering how I can change the logo based on where the user came from...

for example,
if the user comes from

http://www.abc.com/community1/index.php

i want logo1.gif to be shown

if the user comes from

http://www.abc.com/community2/index.php

i want logo2.gif to be shown

The community is php based... thanks a lot !

Hi,

<?
$from=$http_referer;
echo $from;
?>

based on this value do this:

<?

$from==&quot;the_output_for_comm1&quot;?&quot;<img src='comm1.gif'>&quot;:&quot;<img src='comm1.gif'>&quot;;

?>

Thanks rick for the reply.
Your suggestion works fine until we get to the community page. But once we get there it shows the old logo if i click on any menu items!

is there any way of using a cookie of some sort and tie it to the session? so that when the user clicks on a link, the cookie is created... and i'll check the cookie to see where the user originally came from as oppose where the user just came from... do i make sense?

In both community pages, add this:

<?

session_start();
if($HTTP_REFERER==&quot;/*from community 1*/&quot
$img_name=&quot;logo1.gif&quot;;
SESSION_REGISTER(&quot;img_name&quot;
} else{
$img_name=&quot;logo2.gif&quot;;
SESSION_REGISTER(&quot;img_name&quot;
}

?>

Then, in everypage, do this:

<img src=&quot;<?= $img_name ?>&quot;>
