    Changing the Header between Sections

    I am wanting to use the existing V6 catalogue installed on my main website to sell a few items on a new domain. The buyer realises they are being transferred to a different website, which they will have to checkout on, but I wish to have the header part (company logo) reflect the website they have just come from (to make them feel more comfortable).

    I plan to have a parent section on my main catalogue containing the items I want to sell on the new domain. I know it is easy to have a different section template for that section, but the section template itself does not contain the header values (that is in the Primary template).

    Do I have to have a different primary template? How can I make only that section use it? I do not want the checkout page headers to change...

    Any help would be appreciated

    Old versions don't have blockif variables of V8 upwards. Your only options would be a different primary template or a Javascript to collect the location url and show an image.

      Thank you for your reply

      If I create a different Primary template, how can I ensure that the appropriate section uses it?

        In the Content Tree for the page you can go to the Layout tab and select the new layout.

          I've just realised that the website in question is actually using V4! And this only allows me to change Product Template and Section template from the Layout tab. Is there still a way to do this?

          I do not mind having to pay if it takes you time doing this, as it is a very useful fix!
          I'm thinking maybe use a different section template and float a layer over the top to with css to cover the original logo with the new one?! A bit Del Boy..?!

            V4 is old. If you're thinking of paying to fix something old you should upgrade, ultimately the money you spend on unsupported software is going to be outweighed by a new version that does what you want and more. Aside from that, yes you could use a product with purchasing hidden and in it's layout position a layer at the top. You're quite limited in V4.

              Thank you for your help Louise.

              I am not familiar with the Javascript solution so I may just do the layer thing...

              I have V9 and V10 also so it is not that I am a technophobe... It is just that V4 is so simple, fast and easy to make alterations to that working with it is a pleasure
