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.

thanks so much lynn. I still say you are always ahead of the game.

sorry to post this lynn but i was wondering ..i had style made for me and it works fine but with vb arcade mod, vbrookie and a couple others the css was not applied from the mod. I had to use your mod ...i modified it so it would look for vb original additional.css and it worked ...also i left it with what you had and copy and paste code in_css.css and it worked ...

How do i add this to vb so it works right without your mod ?

i have tried to add that one line of code everywhere ...

thanks but your mod works great but not sure why vb is not doing it right. I am on newest version.

can you tell me how to fix with just a line ..I looked in header include and looks like it is there in vb 4.0.6 and but does not look like it is applied to all pages , meaning mods ...

if not for your mod vbookie , the arcade mod , and one more would never have worked.

It is not vb not doing it right - it is your mods not doing it right. You will need to post in their threads and tell them what is happening (or not happening) and have them fix the issue.

oh okay thank you .... but once again you saved me with this mod ...i know i contacted the people that did those mods and they said it works on default so nothing is wrong but i noticed this happening.

Thanks again

Lynn these mods all work fine on the default skin.

It looks like any skin that uses additional.css doesn't display right when clicking on arcade, vbookie or gameroom.

Is this a VB issue or what would these mods have to do to fix it? We used your code and it works fine now.

I'm guessing these mods have to use this?

Basically, the "headinclude_bottom" template which contains a reference to additional_css.css, is supposed to be referenced in all the templates that reference the "headinclude" template.

I know absolutely nothing about any of those mods, so I really couldn't tell you why it isn't working. I am fairly certain thought that it is not a vb issue since I have written several custom pages and additional.css displays just fine on them.

Thank you very much!! I spent hours trying to figure out how to make sure my css would work on everypage! This did it in 2 seconds!

Hi all, I was trying to edit some of the CSS in order to change the text (circled in red). Anyone know how to change this or the css code needed? Thanks!

I already answered this question and told you to add some CSS (I posted the CSS for you, but can't remember it right now) into your additional.css template. That is an *existing* template, not this modification template. You would find it in with all your other templates under the CSS Templates group.
