Stylesheet Link not working

[Alexis]

Hi Everybody,

I'm a newbie to PW, but since the few weeks i'm working with it I like it a lot (mainly for it's flexibility).

Ryan and others, you are doing a really impressive job. Congratulations!

For a little CMS i'm working on, I want to use PHP script inside CCS stylesheet.

For that, I put <?php header('Content-type: text/css');?> at the beginning of the mucss.css file which is renamed mycss.php,

and I put the <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates?>mycss.php" /> in the header of a template file (mycss.php is in the same directory as my templates).

But this code doesn´t work, the mycss.php file is not rendered in the final html page.

After a few testes, I got my objective with this code instead

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/mycss.php" /> and putting the mycss.php file in the root directory of website.

This change of directory is not very suitable for when I want to export my site profile for new installations.

Any idea what is wrong or what can be done for doing the trick maintaining the original structure of PW.

Thanks.

Hi Axis, glad you are enjoying PW. You can't access the templates directory by url, since it's protected by the htaccess file. What you can do, is create a css page in the tree with your css.php file as it's template and access that page url instead.

Thanks Diogo.

I applied it all and it works fine.

This all concept of templates and fields of PW is quite powerfull when you catch it.

01. If you go to templates and then urls, Should page URLs end with a slash? Set the radio button to no.

02. Then go to your page with the CSS template, go to the settings tab and let the name of the page end with .css.

This way you could create pages with names linke: styles.css or default.css
