Diferent images in header with php

    I would want three diferent header images in my blog. And I wrote an archive with this function:

    <?php if (is_home()) {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img1.jpg";
}
elseif (is_page()) {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img1.jpg";
}
elseif (in_category('1')) {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img2.jpg";
}
elseif (in_category('8')) {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img3.jpg";
}
elseif (is_archive()) {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img1.jpg";
}

else {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img1.jpg";
}?>

    And then, the code in my header.php:

    <div id="header">
	<?php
	include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/functions.php');
	echo "<div id=\"header-img\" style=\"background:url($logoimg) no-repeat bottom right\">"
	?>
	</div>
</div>

    It works, but in the monthly archives and in the search results, because the image is always the one of the category of the first post that show in the archive or in the search. The problem is I can not change the in_category to is_category, because a have a categories parents and children and then it does not work right.

    Does anybody know how could I get the right image in the monthly archives and in the search results? For the moment, I did three diferents headers, but there is no the best solution. Thank you in advance for the help.

  • Maybe you already tried it, but I guess you could use the conditional tags for the “monthly archives” ans the “search result”…

    is_month()
    When a monthly archive is being displayed.

    is_search()
    When a search result page archive is being displayed.

    Yes, I tried. With is_archive(), is_month() and is_search() I don’t get the image I want, I get the image of the first post category (1 or 8) that shows in the page. Thanks anyway for your try, Simon. I will wait for any other help.

    Does anybody knows how to fix this problem, how to show the image I want in monthly archives and search results?

    You could try moving your in_category tests below the test for the search page and archive page. So it would be something like this.

    <?php if (is_home()) {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img1.jpg";
}
elseif (is_page()) {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img1.jpg";
}
elseif (is_archive()) {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img1.jpg";
}
elseif (is_search()) {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img1.jpg";
}
elseif (in_category('1')) {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img2.jpg";
}
elseif (in_category('8')) {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img3.jpg";
}
else {
	$logoimg="[...]/images/img1.jpg";
}?>

    Thanks a lot, Jeremy. It works… with a little change: I had to change is_archive() for is_month(), and everything is perfect with this code:

    ‘<?php if (is_home()) {
    $logoimg=”[…]/images/img1.jpg”;
    }
    elseif (is_page()) {
    $logoimg=”[…]/images/img1.jpg”;
    }
    elseif (is_month()) {
    $logoimg=”[…]/images/img1.jpg”;
    }
    elseif (is_search()) {
    $logoimg=”[…]/images/img1.jpg”;
    }
    elseif (in_category(‘1’)) {
    $logoimg=”[…]/images/img2.jpg”;
    }
    elseif (in_category(‘8’)) {
    $logoimg=”[…]/images/img3.jpg”;
    }
    else {
    $logoimg=”[…]/images/img1.jpg”;
    }?>’

    Topic resolved. Thanks again, Jeremy.
