I would like to store the CSS in the file system however I need to edit the var so that the css link when called is the entire path, not just clientscript/vbulletin_css/xxx

Where can I edit this at? The reason I need to do this is I call the headinclude template outside of the forum directory and without the entire path I kill the look of the page it is loading in.

Cheepo solution (that's what I did to avoid file edits):
symlink it

Or use code in Template phpinclude_end (Hook global_complete for vBulletin 3.5) to replace

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css

with the full path version. Keep in mind you might also run into trouble with images or JavaScript includes.

Thanks Kirby, I checked it out on php.net but I'm not seeing it. All I have in the headinclude is $style[css] which when storing in the file generates the css link?

Do you have shell access?

Code:

ln -s /full/path/to/vbulletin_css vbulletin_css

Also make sure that Apache (I'll just assume you are using Apache

) can follow symlinks.

I do but not here at work (yup I'm guilty, browsing vb at work). I'll give it a shot.

Thanks!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
