Hi, I have created a content type which has a list of taxonomy terms associated with it. When adding a node of this content type I have a field where its term ref is selected. I'd like the title and sub-title of a page of this content type have particular colour according to its taxonomy term. What is the best approach for this?

Thanks in advance

You should change on node.tpl.php . If you have colors name in term then you can do using in line css on title like

<h1 style="color: <?php print "your term";>">

or if you have different name from color

you should define class according to your term like 

<?php if(term == 'a'){ ?>
<h1 style="color: red">
<?php }
else{ ?>
<h1 style="color: red">
<?php } ?>

Thanks @ravibarnwal - looks just like what I am looking for. I will test this out :)

Hey there I tried this out and the title isn't rendering at all. Here is the code I'm using in the tpl.php

<?php print render($title_prefix); ?>
      <?php if (!empty($title)): ?>
      

        <?php if(term == 'virtual'){ ?>
          <h1 class="page-header virtual"><?php print $title; ?></h1>
              <?php }
              elseif (term == 'cloud') { ?>
                <h1 class="page-header cloud"><?php print $title; ?></h1>
              <?php } 
              <?php }
              elseif (term == 'accounts') { ?>
                <h1 class="page-header accounts"><?php print $title; ?></h1>
              <?php }

              else{ ?>
              <h1 class="page-header"><?php print $title; ?></h1>
              <?php } ?>

      <?php endif; ?>
      <?php print render($title_suffix); ?>

I'm probably missing something obvious. Any pointers?

You have term when you want $term, this assumes you have set $term somewhere.

Note you can simplify the code for printing the title to

<?php
// Make sure we have no spaces in the term.
$class = str_replace(' ', '-', $term);
?>
<h1 class="page-header <?php print $class; ?>"><?php print $title; ?></h1>

This way you do not need the 'if' statements, and it handles new terms without new code.

Thanks @nevets. How do I set $term to mean taxonomy term? I'm not much of a coder. It would be great to know.

In that case I would really would suggest the Field Formatter CSS Class module

Ok but I do have some coding skills and would prefer to do this within the tpl.php file and improve my coding skills rather than downloading another module. Would it be something like
$term = taxonomy_term_load(['tid']);

Yes but you have to find tid(term tid) from your node object.
you can find tid like this

<?php 
$tid = $node->your_field_name['und'][0]['tid']; 
$term = taxonomy_term_load($tid);
if($term->name == 'virtual'){
 
}
?>

An easier way is to use the Field Formatter CSS Class which can be used to apply a css class to the node wrapper based on a taxonomy term.

@nevets I may check this out as an alternative if I can't get it to work in code. Thanks :)
