Hi all,
is it generally better to modify and enhance the existing CSS files (frontend.css and print_layout.css) to fit to my needs or should I rather create new ones?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
is es generell besser, die vorhandenen CSS Dateien (frontend.css und print_layout.css) abzuändern und zu erweitern, damit sie zu meinen Seiten passen oder sollte ich komplett neue CSS Dateien machen?
Vielen Dank im Voraus.

The only file you could edit in the backend is the frontend.css.
I think the best way is to use that file, than could it be changed within the backend.

Hi rk,
I have the possibility to upload a CSS file directly to the phpwcms_templates/inc_css folder. This file can I then also use in PHPWCMS, but have to edit the file external via an external editor.

than could you use every additional file you want and include it in html-header-field.

Hi rk,
that answers not my question. The question is whether to start programming an own css file or use the two available files? When I use an own css file, it does not cover the settings for example for articles. When I enhance the frontend.css, it does. So I think, it would be better to enhance an available css file with my own settings. Am I right?

What I do is:
1 - backup fronthend.css
2 - create and name my own styles
3 - go to conf.template_default.inc.php and rename/remove/change styles
4 - import styles from backup when i need it, because some of them are in the core program
And thats it

Ok
.
If you don't want to touch the frontend.css, use your own css-file for your own styles and include it in header-field.
I use the frontend.css, because i have sometimes not the possibility to use ftp, so i can modify the frontend.css in backend.

Hi folks,
comming back to this quite old article...
What to do best to get along with css?
Do you have a recommendation for a (free) css editor?
Thanks,
FELIX

@rk - it's NO good idea to put own CSS style information in HTML head. Place custom CSS files in template/inc_css and select CSS file in template. You can use as many as you like.
You can also set custom CSS file directly from your own PHP code.
Code: Select all
$GLOBALS['block']['css'][] = 'custom/my.css';
...means "template/inc_css/custom/my.css".
I recommend: forget the default frontend.css and build own from scratch. Maybe you can have a look in it and use some pre-defined classes of it.
