Hello I would suggest you view their html source of the page to see how they create that header. That will give you alot of hints on how to code up a header like that.

Thanks Chuck,

Before investigate the code of that page a last question (maybe these is a bit not PP related).

I already did a flash header with a main menu (this work perfect with VB and PP integration), but now I only need to pass a parameter to get the current page (Forum or Gallery). You know what paramenter could be?

Not sure what you mean by passing a parameter to get to the current page. If you use links just place the proper url for links that how they normally work.

I think in some where must exist a variable to know if I'm in a Forum or a Gallery page. Then, I can pass this variable to my SWF header. Simple like "myheader.swf?section=".$parameter.

I only need a reference to know if the user are in the forum or the gallery.

well there are no variables unless you create something but I cant tell you what that is.

I found and put this in the forum header:

"$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl]"

And will work, the only thing is that when I'm in the gallery mode I get:

"http://www.mydomain.com/forum/index.php"

And in the forum mode:

"index.php"

I can deal with this for now because I only need a reference between each one to highlight the menu option inside the flash. But would be more clean if I get "forum" and "gallery".

well because your not giving it the true variable

Maybe this but not sure

$vbulletin->options[bburl]/index.php

No problem glad you found it

Hi Chuck,

Sorry for the insistence, but I notice that in the internals pages of the gallery the condition doesn't work (for example http://www.mydomain.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=504), maybe need compare another parameter.

*** SOLVED ***

I found the another parameters, I don't know if I missed one

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Thats not a conditional that works with any of our products. Thats vb only I believe.
