Different CSS depending on login

By keirlawson on 1 Aug 2008 at 15:44 UTC

Hi, I would like to develop a theme that look different depending on whether the user is logged in or not. I want to enact these changes by changing stylesheet. Though I could hardcode the stylesheet tag into the template, I was wondering if there was a more elegant way of doing this, ie using the $styles var in the template?

Hi,

Thanks for your swift reply, however neither of those solutions offer a nicer solution than what I was already proposing as far as I can see...

Sorry I inserted my blog url

Sorry I inserted my blog url by mistake on the previous post. You are using Drupal 6 is it. Yup I cannot think of anything else.

There's no way to change how

There's no way to change how a theme displays to a logged-in user or a non-logged-in user through the CSS. The option suggested above works fine to that end, or you can also assign an id or a class to the body based on whether the user is logged in or not, styling everything based on inheritance of that id or class. Apart from the body definition or defining certain other elements, there is no more "elegant" way of doing what you want.
