Page Layout ⇒ fancyhdr different pagestyle in different chapters

[bonobeando]

I use fancyhdr package for my book, so that chapter titles appear left and section titles appear right, both to the top. But in Preface there is not sections at all, so that the right header is blank. How can I make a different fancyhdr style for a different chapter as Preface? Sorry, my English is so bad as my LaTeX knowledges .
Here my fancyhdr Layout, Thanks!

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{%
        \markboth{#1}{}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{%
        \markright{\thesection\ #1}}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\small\textbf\thepage}
\fancyhead[CO]{\small\textbf\rightmark}
\fancyhead[CE]{\small\textbf\leftmark}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\addtolength{\headheight}{0pt} 
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
   \fancyhead{} 
   \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} 
}
\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}

I suggest to use the titlesec package instead. It allows to declare various new page styles and offers a complete different interface for customization. From my point of view it is more flexible and much easier to handle than the fancyhdr package and I would recommend it for the standard classes.
