New Wordpress Theme
Now I have finished re-designing the site, I have made the theme available for download.
As you can see if you click on the “categories” over on the right, this theme will present a different banner for each category in the site. All you have to do is make and name one 800 x 150 pixel jpg image for each category. Feel free to use it, distribute it and adapt it for any non-commercial use.

Way to go, Chris.
A very unusual theme in a world in which carbon copies prevail.
Thanks!

Hi, Chris. I’m impressed by what you’ve done here. Can you tell me what elements, in what files, you’ve added/changed to create the ability to do this with the header? I don’t want to change my entire theme but just add this feature? Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Actually it is fairly simple. Within my theme (as in many others) there is a file called “header.php” which displays the header. I replaced the code which displays the header image with this:
if (is_category()) {
$imgurl = “images/”.single_cat_title(”,FALSE).”.jpg”;
} else {
$imgurl = “images/all.jpg”;
}
What this does if a category is being shown,is to load a header image with the same file name as the name of the category - e.g. if the category is called “general” it will load a header image called “general.jpg” from the images folder. If a category is not being shown, the header image “all.jpg” will be loaded and displayed.
Best thing to do is to download the theme and do some hacking - compare “header.php” in my theme with “header.php” in your preferred theme and see the differences - enter and hack the code.

Great theme! I’m modifying it a little bit (just the colors and images, the layout is perfect as is) for my web site. It’s not a blog, per se, but I love how WordPress works well as a CMS too.

I’m not getting it to work.
I get a blank intead of a header. I tried using a file with no “.jpg” on the end, since it looks like the code in the header file attaches a .jpg on the end, but that didn’t work. I tried it with the jpg on the filename, but that didn’t work either. I tried naming the files with the text version of the file, that didn’t work. I tried with the number of the category, and that didn’t work either.
I’m wondering if there is a version problem with either my apache or my perl, which, since I am on a new host, I’m not sure of my versions. Any suggestions?

Chris, thanks again for your advice (by email).
My problem was misunderstanding the directions to name the jpgs with the category NAME not the category SLUG, which also necessitates removing spaces from the NAME of the category. Now it all works perfectly!
