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.

Do you know of any way to make this compatible with external scripts that tie into the vB database such as Photopost? If you use this for your style css, you cannot get it to display in Photopost to my knowledge.

I know absolutely nothing about photopost, so I can't answer your question.

Does this one work for Vbulletin 4.02?

[Alien]

Yes.

I'm really confused.

I've followed the instructions in the original post; however when I browse the default template in style manager, I don't have an additional_css.css file to edit.

If I need to create and upload this to the theme path, no problem, but where do I put it please?

Thanks!

[Lynne]

If you uploaded the product, then the template should already be created for you and in the CSS Templates group.

does this still work in 4.0.3 ? I am making edits and nothing happening. I have used this before on older versions just not on this one.

It works on 4.0.3, yes. However, they put in the template additional.css a couple of versions ago which is really what this modification was supposed to do until they added it.
