Miscellaneous Hacks - Add additional_css.css to all your pages

Instead of finding the template.css file to edit the .css properties for your pages, just put them all in this additional_css.css template. The additional_css.css file is linked right before the </head> in your page. This is for use until this is made standard in the vb product (I put in a bug report requesting this be included - Please consider adding user defined Additional CSS to pages).


Version History:
1.0 2009-11-22: - initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org
1.1 2009-12-08: - fixed issue with style dateline not showing up. Fixed & issue (changes to &amp. added additional2_css.css file so the first additional_css file can be used in the parent style and then additional2_css used in the child styles.

Notes - if you only want this included on certain pages, then you may open the plugin "Add addition_css.css file to pages" and put a condition around it, such as (this is for just the index page and the showthread page):

PHP Code:

if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT,array('index','showthread'))) {
all the code currently in the plugin
} 


.
.
To install:

1. Import product-product-lynne_add_css.xml
2. Add any additional css you want to add to the page in your additional_css.css template.

To uninstall:

1. Uninstall "Add additional css to your style"

Please mark Installed if you use this.

^ cool. I didnt get back on Vb.com for your response, thanks for the tip. However, when i go unter the main CSS, it says "This CSS file is obsolete and is available here for reference purposes only."

Lynne, I would love to make changes to my images like increase the text padding around images. Please see attached images.

I'm assuming that I can use this plugin to do that? Could you be so kind and give an example of a code how to do that. I'm not good in modifying php.

Just add something like:

.postbit  .content img, .postbitlegacy .content img, .postbitdeleted .content  img, .postbitignored .content img, .eventbit .content img {
padding:0 10px;
}

(Don't have to include all five if you don't want it for all five.)

That worked perfectly! I cannot thank you enough!

Blessings to you!

Thanks Lynne for this mod.

I believe there is an issue shows up when activating store css as file...

is there a way how to import the additional file to every page from the vb root instead of the database??

Thanks

Additional_css.css -Lynne's mod is now part of vbulletin4.

There are some small oddities, but for the most part store css as files works fine for most people.

You can just add another css link in your headinclude template to an external CSS file. If you want an example let me know.

As tbworld explained, this mod is really not needed anymore as there has now been an additional.css template added to the software which is called on every page.

ok great to know that. However, I still have some issue sending additional.css from the database not from direct css files. I switched the store css as files property on and then I noticed that additional.css is still being served from the database!!!

I decided then to take a copy of additional.css template and make a file outside the vb board and send it to the headinclude, but still not working. The code works fine, but vb doesn't take it in consideration...

I used this property to link the external css file:

PHP Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mydomain.com/mystyle.css"> 


And by the way, I use a plugin to send the additional.css file to vb, but you said that this became a part of vb built-in function!!! how and where to switch it on???

please explain a little more.

Thanks
