How to use own css file?

sabrina · **How to use own css file? -** 10-11-2006, 12:19 PM

Hello,

I'm setting up eSupport. I've linked the header template to our own css stylesheet file that is used throughout our company website. However, the original styles "smalltext" and "swifttext" are still used in the templates. I've tried adding these to our own stylesheet, but this has no effect.

I don't want to have to go through every template to remove all references to these two styles. Is there a way that I can edit these 2 styles and keep our own stylesheet linked to the support pages without having to edit every template?

Regards,

Sabrina

This is how I've linked our css (divider.net.css) to the header template:
I've added this within the header tag:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/divider.net.css" type="text/css"></link>

complete header tag:
<head>
<title><{if $docsubject != ""}><{$docsubject}><{else}><{$settings[general_companyname]}><{/if}> - <{$language[navhome]}></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<{$language[charset]}>">
<meta http-equiv="content-style-type" content="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/divider.net.css" type="text/css"></link>
</meta>
<{/if}>

<script language="Javascript">
var themepath = "<{$themepath}>";
var swiftpath = "<{$swiftpath}>";
var BLANK_IMAGE="<{$themepath}>space.gif";
var swiftsessionid = "<{$session[sessionid]}>";
</script>
<script language="Javascript" src="<{$themepath}>basejs.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<{if $ismodernbill == false}></head>

You wish to use both the style sheets i.e. Kayako's as well as yours or you want the software only to use your style sheet?

This seems to work: both stylesheets are linked now.

However, i can't modify the color of styles "smalltext" and "swifttext". If I add the styles to my own css or if I edit the colors in my stylesheet, it has no effect. If I edit the font size, it does change.

What am I missing here?

I've cleared everything out of the clientcss template: this is all that is left in it:

.swifttext
{
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Tahoma
}

.smalltext
{
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica
}

Hello,

The stylesheet is defined in the header template. Is that what you modified ?

PHP Code:

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<{$swiftpath}>index.php?_ca=css" />

On my side, I noticed that the above code is not template group dependant. I modified my header to:

PHP Code:

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<{$swiftpath}>index.php?group=<{$tgroup[title]}>&_ca=css" />

In some case it sounds like smalltext is overwritten anyway (e.g. the navigation in the header).

Thank you for your attention. This seems to be the case, but luckily the 'headings' of each page gets its layout from only 1 reference in the header. Found out you just have to edit the header template font colors and they will reflect the change everywhere. My problem is solved.
