Quick question:
Is there an easy way to display different headers depending on what forum my user visits?

Right now, I'm using frames, PHP, and if/elsw coding to show different headers (and it's sloppy).

Any ideas, Ilia?

Is this too hard, Ilia? If so, no problem.

You can put a conditional statement inside header.tmpl and have it show different content based on the forum_id

Thank you Ilia.

One final question:

I'd like my affiliates to recommend specific posts at FUDforum...

... Unfortunately, my affiliate program (amember) is tied into FUDforum (so I can't use FUDforum tracking).

Can I pass form parameters to a link in my forum header instead?

For example, I tried this:
{ROOT}?t=index&{DEF: _rsid}&affiliate=<?php echo $affiliate ?>

But I come up empty.

Can you help me, Ilia?

you need to use {VAR: affiliate}

Ilia, I tried that, but when I add to the URL something like:
http://www.myforum.com/forum/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=795&S=5bb504 327700146e331556323a6dadd7&article=223432

... And go to click on the "Home" link which has the code:
{ROOT}?t=index&{DEF: _rsid}&article={VAR: article}

The article= is blank.

Any ideas?

I thought the variable was affiliate? You need to make sure that the variable exists in the scope of the code.

I did try {VAR: affiliate} and it too is showing up with empty data.

I want to use {VAR: article} because this is a non-obvious affiliate link -- I'd like to have every single FUDforum post double as affiliate content.

By the way, I'm using FUDforum 2.7.2.

As I've offered in the past, I can send a donation for your help... this would really help me out.

If you don't see any data this means that the variable is not present in the given scope. Where is $affiliate declared?

That might be the problem... where do I declare it?

You want to declare it in the global scope, so declaring inside thread.php.t for example outside of any functions would work.

Ilia, I know just enough about programming to impress my marketing friends...

... Can you give me an example of how to add this -- I'd like to add the variable "article".

Thank you so much in advance (and again, if you'd like me to send money, you got it).

I'm so, so sorry for not getting this Ilia -- it's still not passing the variable.

I added:
<?php $foo = 1; ?>

On the first line of:
thread.php.t

Within the subdirectory:
/FUDdata/src

Within the "Template Editor", I selected "default" and "english" (and clicked the [Edit] submit button).

I selected the "footer.tmpl" link... specifically the "footer link" and changed:
{ROOT}?t=index&{DEF: _rsid}

To:
{ROOT}?t=index&{DEF: _rsid}&affiliate={VAR: affiliate}

Finally, I tested the main forum page with something like:
http://www.domain.org/forum/index.php?article=test

But when I click on the "home" link at the bottom of the webpage to test it out, I get an emply "affiliate" value like:

http://www.domain.org/forum/index.php?t=index&S=13eb371b824d11606192d97 53bc9cb51&affiliate=

Any ideas for a fix, Ilia?

Again, I can send money via PayPal if this is too complicated.
