Custom background in news article

How can I use a custom background in news articles only?

Never mind, I figured out how to do what I wanted by using the message module instead of using the news module. Made for sense anyway since I only wanted a custom background in the one message.

Before the include of the header.php you can add in each module-file custom-css - inline and also as prepared file or you can define the css-class in your style.css of your theme. Set the css-class to an container or an element.

php Code:

	$style = '<style type="text/css">


		body {background: #fff;}


		.myclass {background: #fff;}


	}


	</style>' . PHP_EOL;


	addCSSToHead($style,'inline');





	$cssfile= 'path/to/my/css-file.css';


	addCSSToHead($cssfile,'file');





	include_once 'header.php';





	$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


	if ($row['sid'] == '125678' ) {


		$mycustomclass = 'myclass';


	} else {


		$mycustomclass = '';


	}

Or in the theme.php maybe in the themearticle() function:

php Code:

	if ($sid == '125678' ) {


		$mycustomclass = 'myclass';


	} else {


		$mycustomclass = '';


	}

After that you can use the variable like this:

php Code:

echo '<div class="' . $mycustomclass . '">Lorem Ipsum dolar...</div>';
