Q: 

phpbb specific forum page styles

I am using phpbb on a site for a client, and the client has requested that each different forum page have a different background color.

Such functionality is not built into phpbb (from what I can tell), so how should I go about doing this? Can I modify the code of phpbb directly?

My other thought was to use a js conditional statement, but seeing as the only difference on the forums page would be the page title, I don't know how I could format this.

A: 

If you can include a js in a way that won't break when the software is updated then that would be preferable, using the forum id from the url perhaps?

Otherwise, this is a stab in the dark, but try this:

  1. Find where phpbb outputs the <head>
  2. Use a switch/case statement and output the necessary css based on the forum ids.
  3. Document exactly where you made the changes, and remember that you may need to make them again when phpbb is updated to new versions.
