Excellent. This is a missing feature in VB4.
Thanks for sharing.

Well Lynne, I have to say... so simple, yet so required. Not looking at the stylevars until beta5, and just today at that, and now finding how ridiculously impracticable the new stylevars system currently is, or the basic level it is at, this is an absolute requirement. Just looking into all the css files now included within the template system to achieve the layout, I discovered today how impracticable it all currently is. With coming upgrades, if I had to modify each template css, it would make future upgrades a near impossible task having to custom code each file again as no doubt the css template files will be constantly changing in revisions with a css layout. Some of the stupidity I am finding with the attempts of one stylevar and replicating it across multiple aspects of the suite... absolutely stupid IMHO.

Installed and thank you. Makes it much simplier that you have done it vs. me having to write one for my own use.

Thanks.

This doesn't work in beta5.... The file actually writes correctly in the acp but doesn't seem to transcend to to the frontend. All you get at the frontend is the default first two lines of text, no actual css data.

Are you entering the css into the correct style? This is still working just fine for me on both my forums only test site and my suite test site.

it might be related to the combination of styleid and langid too. i have two languages, and the correct edited css only appear when langid=1, or remove langid, so i removed langid from the path where calling the css. not sure why it is yet.

Hey Lynne... Pretty sure. Adding css into ACP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > additional_css.css

I might try it on a clean install of beta5 I have, as I used it on an upgraded beta5 install. See if any difference exists.

Hmmm... just worked on clean install. My private test upgrade install though doesn't work... interesting. Ok, thanks for that. I will dig at it... as this is outside of your software.

This is interesting. I don't have other languages on my sites, so I haven't seen this happen. What does the url to the additional_css.css file look like in the situation where it isn't working?

I also modified this a bit for myself. I created another file additional_css2.css also. I use additional_css for css that I want in all my styles (so I 'fill' it in the parent style) and then use additional_css2 to make small changes to the child styles. Is anyone interested in that version of this?

i dont have the forum on public accessible location, so cant give you the direct link, anyway

i have two language (1 and 2), and my styleid is 24.

when i install this, and my default language is 2, i have

/forum/css.php?styleid=24&langid=2&d=&sheet=additional_cs s.css

it only shows
when i change to language 1, or set direct link to langid=1, i see the additional CSS that i added to the template.

forum/css.php?styleid=24&langid=1&d=&sheet=additional_cs s.css

if i remove the langid, it also show the template correctly
forum/css.php?styleid=24&d=&sheet=additional_css.css
