Template Css adding in my addon

[Asterix_ita]

I used this plugin to upload my template.css, but sometimes is it loaded and others no why? (vBulletin 4.1.5)

		
<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">
<title>CSS</title>
<hookname>parse_templates</hookname>
<phpcode><![CDATA[
			if($vbulletin->options['ct_list_active'])
				{
					$template_hook['custom_css_list'] .= ',ct_thread.css';
				}
]]></phpcode>
</plugin>

Is there any other way to load your css template?

In several articles I found this code, but everyone says outdated

		<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">
			<title>CSS - Inject CSS into vBulletin</title>
			<hookname>css_start</hookname>
			<phpcode><![CDATA[if(in_array('vbulletin.css',$matches[1]))
{
   $matches[1][] = 'ct_thread.css';
}]]></phpcode>
		</plugin>

Thanks

Take a look at the headinclude template:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['storecssasfile']">
    {vb:cssfile main-rollup.css}
        {vb:raw template_hook.custom_css_links}
<vb:else />
    {vb:cssfile bbcode.css,editor.css,popupmenu.css,reset-fonts.css,vbulletin.css,vbulletin-chrome.css,vbulletin-formcontrols.css{vb:raw template_hook.custom_css_list}}
</vb:if>

There is an if/else there. You can only use the template hook custom_css_list if the css is not being stored in the file system. So, two different template_hooks need to be defined.

PHP Code:

$template_hook['custom_css_links'] .= xxxxxx;
$template_hook['custom_css_list'] .= yyyyyy;

Thanks Lynne

I have to replace xxxx and yyy with the name of my template.css, is it correct?

[Lynne]

No, not exactly. The _links hook requires a full on link. (I actually got this code from one of BOPs mods.)

Try this:

$template_hook['custom_css_links'] .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style' . str_pad($style['styleid'], 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . $vbulletin->stylevars['textdirection']['string'][0] . '/ct_thread.css" />';

$template_hook['custom_css_list'] .= ',ct_thread.css';

Thanks it works fine.

You know how these two ways of interpreting the CSS code

I have no idea why that gap is there. You'd need to analyze the box using something like firebug.

I actually got in to some trouble with this a few minutes ago and Lynne was kind enough (as always!) to point me I'm using process_tempaltes_complete instead of parse_templates.

With that help, now I am using this in my codes:

PHP Code:

    if ($vbulletin->options['storecssasfile']) {
        $template_hook['custom_css_links'] .= '<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="' . vB_Template::fetch_css_path() . 'MY_CSS.css' . '?d=' . $style['dateline'] . '" />';
    }
    else {
        $template_hook['custom_css_list'] .= 'MY_CSS.css';
    }

Hi CvP

Thanks, but your code works fine on my addon with parse_templates hook, doesn't work with process_tempaltes_complete

regards

[CvP]

Yes, it needs to be on parse_templates. I used process_templates_complete and banging my head on table until Lynne stepped in.

What hooks would you use if the css IS stored in the file system?
