    Hi everyone

    I am trying to use the same theme across several blogs but show a different message in the header depending on what blog the user is currently viewing.

    the code i am using is

    <?php $result = get_blog_details($blogId)->blog_id;
    if($result = 1){
    	echo "message1";
    }
    if($result = 2){
    	echo "message2";
    }
     if($result = 3){
    	echo "message3";
    }
    if($result = 4){
    	echo "message4";
    } ?>

    However, when I view any of these blogs, it shows all the messages instead of just a single one. Can someone help me with this please?

    '<?php
    $blog_details = get_blog_details(1);
    echo 'Blog '.$blog_details->blog_id.' is called '.$blog_details->blogname.'.';
    ?> '

    I used this script and found each subblog returns the value of 1. Help please

    If you are trying to use a different message per blog, why not use the tagline under Settings -> General? It is designed to do just that.

    Also, in your if statements, you are missing an equal sign.

    Those should read if( $result == 1).

    Hi i still need help, no text shows up, I have tried what was said here 'elseif'. I can't use the tagline because I am already using it for something important.
    Also, each sub blog returns the value of 1.
    I am just trying to show a message depending on what blog the person is looking at so I can put
    Your current Location is: *%*

    Once again I can't use the blog description line.

    Any help is appreciated,

    <?php $wname = get_blog_details( $blogId )->blog_id;
    if($wname == 1){ echo "Location 1";}
    elseif($wname == 2){ echo "Location 2";}
    elseif($wname == 3){ echo "Location 3";}
    elseif($wname == 4){ echo "Location 4";} ?>

    alternative please.

    "I am just trying to show a message depending on what blog the person is looking at so I can put
    Your current Location is: *%*"

    In header.php where you want this to show, put:

    Your current Location is: <?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?>

    That will give the URL of the current blog. All you need is the right template tag to pull the details of the current blog.

    No need to check and see what blog you're on by ID.
