Hi all,

I was hoping someone can help me break down the process of making my drupal 4.7 site change its appearence in the header section of the Barron theme depending on what page the user is on.

Please be more specific. Do you want to change text, or have a specific image for each page?
You'll probably need to learn some php. case statement... or just adding a title field in the header depending on how complicated you need it.
...in your page.tpl.php

this helped me get answers

OMG what are case statements LOL, seriously I wouldn't know where to start. I think this is about if page is x = y then display this image as background img...

To be more specific I want to impliment the usability conventions that if a visitor is on a different static page that they should have signposts that help them identify where they are on the site. Even though I have breadcrumbs and other h1 tags for page titles I can't seem to work out how to approach the solution for this issue without any prior php knowledge. Best I read my orielys PHP book and work through the lessons.

Thanks for the reply JamesAmI

oh ok,
If you just need an image in the header to be different, try logo tool:
http://drupal.org/project/logotool
...I'm not sure how helpful this will be if the site is complicated.

If you need background colors to be different too, learn more about themes.... and be prepared to use some php.

or maybe this will work:
http://drupal.org/project/sections
using a separate theme for each section of the site.
