Problem Description:
Is there a way to read certain variables within the template.php file?

What I want to do is change certain image headers according to what board they are in.  The custom templates function only displays the default template within a subboard message index.

So, I'd like to be able to read the $currentboard or $boardname varibales.

Any help is appreciated!

There is a mod to use different templates per boards.

You can use session variables too..

I have that, but for some reason, it doesn't use the assigned template within the sub-board board listing.  Only in the board topic listing.  Just for clarification:

Forums
 +--Category   (1)
      +--Board  (2)
            +--Topic Listings  (3)

(1) I want to show the custom template here
(2) But it only shows up in here
(3) And in here

I assigned the custom template to the Category, but it uses the default template.

You can use session variables too..

This is what I was looking into as a fix...using "if/elseif" conditions to place the proper header images on top.  I just don't know the names for the session variables.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

There is just one session variable: $_SESSION.  It's an array.  Anything you put in there can be considered as "global" for the entire server on that user.

So, you could say $_SESSION['cool'] = true; and then, in style.css (which you would have to make parsed by php, maybe even style.css.php...) you would say:
<?php
// Start the session so you can use the array.
session_start();
// Check if they are cool.
if ($_SESSION['cool'])
  echo 'font-color: blue;';
?>
